I don't understand why people are down voting you. Your post rings 100% true for a lot of folks out of silicon valley bubble.

  My impression is that it is a bit not very self-aware > I find it extremely difficult to feel any sympathy for these folks because they have it much better than I do, and extremely better than millions of people in the United States and billions of people worldwide. If you are living in the US, and making 35k, you are in the top 1% income worldwide. So it is a world 1 percenter complaining about not being in the US 1 percenter, and saying by extension, they do not care about people who have it better. Applying that same theory globally, 99% of people globally should not care about this post.

In my original comment I say: >I find it extremely difficult to feel any sympathy for these folks because they have it much better than I do, and extremely better than millions of people in the United States and billions of people worldwide. Much better than I, extremely better than billions worldwide implying I'm well aware I have it much better off than a notable percentage of the global population as 'extreme' is more drastic than 'much'.
