It's not. A poor person isn't responsible for the hollowing out of the economy through increased productivity, and the switch to lower paid service jobs over well paying service and industrial jobs. There's only so much adapting you can do to this, and how much your own power to change the world exists. And to be honest, a lot of people here really coasted on their parent's wealth and social capital to get where they are. If you are poor here, it was more in the ways an english lord can be poor; they have plenty of capital, connections, and a stable life, they just made mistakes with money. If you don't have any of that, it's another world entirely.
