Why does this seem to only apply to the poor and not the rich and wealthy? When a company takes illegal action to pollute streams and gets a slap on the wrist, or investor kickbacks result in worse and worse wildfires in California, where's the personal responsibility? When it comes to loans and bankruptcy we're expecting people to suck it up and live under the thumb of debt for the rest of their lives for the fall of needing money to pay rent, go to college or deal with medical bills. I've been through enough shit myself that I have plenty of empathy for people with no choice. Calling them 'quitters' (in reference to your other comment') is absolute nonsense and simply a way of rationalizing FGYM.
