Thus, they assign a low value to events which might happen in the future - that is, a high paying job in 5 years is less valuable than using meth now.

It's also insulting towards poor people to imply they are all meth users. A proper analogy would be that they disproportionaly value a job they can have right now over a higher paying job they can have in 5 years.
