> You are ALWAYS the problem. Would you say the same to children born during a (human-caused) famine, or born with defects cause by politically useful wars fifty years ago? Would you say the same to children raised in traumatic households, with chronic self-regulation disorders as a result? Your take isn't just narrow, and wrong, but also incredibly callous. We live in a world where some people have megayachts while 785 million people lack access to basic drinking water services. In the US, the wealthy have world-class healthcare but 530,000 families file for bankruptcy due to medical issues each year (pre-pandemic!). The amount of luck involved in becoming wealthy is immense, and ignoring this most basic fact is both dim and cruel. Perhaps this is a lot of effort to respond to a fourteen-day old account... Still, this demented view on self-determination is bizarrely common even among the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" set, and has been for hundreds or even thousands of years. I don't know if that's because it's so convenient for the already wealthy, or it's some kind of innate fairness bias, but it's embarrassing (and harmful) for the species that people actually fall for it.
