Ok, so you are a poor peasant (erm farmer) in rural China with a 9th grade education (the compulsory minimum in China) in say a poor province like Jiangxi, there are around 500 million of you, what’s your easier path to the middle class than if you were in the USA?
- gdilla 10mo agomove to the city? The delivery app guys can earn a decent living. no education required.
- seanmcdirmid 10mo agoDelivery guys in China are not considered middle class.
- gdilla 10mo agosure dude. they can earn a living. they won't be in a debt spiral like most people here who have no advantages.
- seanmcdirmid 10mo ago> life isn't easy in china, necessarily, but there's a better, accessible path to become middle class. You set the bar in your original comment, I didn’t raise it. > they won't be in a debt spiral like most people here who have no advantages. Ant tribe life is debt free, but it isn’t really living by our standards. At least we can say it’s better than living on the streets even if such housing isn’t allowed in the west.
- gdilla 10mo agosure? we're stuck with incel red pilled men who are nazi curious cuz they can't catch a break. great outcomes.
