I'm a working class person. I don't have a bachelor's degree. My pay is hourly, I spend a good portion of my day on my knees with tools in my hands, and I rented until I bought a house last year at the age of 35. I gave a damn. I spent a lot of time living in the same building with a bunch of people who didn't. It wasn't being poor that made half my neighbors dump trash off their balconies and scream at their kids and walk right past graffiti literally three feet from their door. It was not giving a damn. I've struggled my entire life with motivation, but I tell you what, disgust is a good motivator.

What an empty circular argument. Maybe they didn't give a damn because...they were living in bad conditions? Maybe they felt like there was no future ahead of them? Your life isn't the success story you think it is. You bought into an overpriced housing market--probably, I don't know where you live--and had to live as a slave for 35 years. You will continue living as a slave as you continue to pay your mortgage to a banking system that is completely antagonistic to your class interests. Sorry man, you were taken as a fool. Enjoy your trophy for being a good compliant slave.
