Yes, the peasants must be happy living in their boxes with roaches and no sunlight

  I lived in a car for years and upgraded to an abandoned rotting trailer with no running water. I know what poor is like, and it is still no reason to end your life. Took me 10 years to build marketable skills but I eventually became a bay area home owner. Can everyone do that? Probably not. You can still win from a bad starting hand in life if you are simply more stubborn than everyone else. Also dead cockroaches is still better conditions than a lot of people in third world countries get.
