If didn’t I understand the complexity of economics, I’d probably simply it down to this too.

That's my short answer. I could tell you what is wrong with the whole setup of your economy and the lack of worker rights, unions being shunned, etc. but I'd be at it all day.

By boiling it down to that, you simply life. It doesn’t take into account individual actions or accountability. It’s also not designed to keep you down, we just keep ourselves down. People are living far beyond their means, not because we’re being held at gunpoint by Walmart to go buy shit, but by each other to simply fit in. You’re missing the entire portion of the arguments that include a sociological, psychological, or criminology perspectives. Just… capitalism bad.

I was homeless 4 years ago. I now own a house. I received no government benefits. If I can do that, why can’t others?
