Agreed, i don't really understand why tens of millions living in the Appalachians, rust belt or rural mid-west can't simply just learn to code. Don't they know there's six-figure jobs waiting for them in NYC or San Fran?

I never took you as a socialist...

Naa just feel empathy for these people.

The working poor for sure are the class that have gotten left behind the most in the last 10-15 years and that's where he's coming from. He's actually rallying against certain parts of the welfare system that subsidizes obesity for example.

get the lazy off welfare and go get a job.. irony is that's even what the songs about.. So now its the gov't that makes people obese? Thats a new take.
We see a song about the R food stamp overuse.

Government subsidy 100% exasperates the obesity problem. It's not their intention but it happens. For most of human history obesity wasn't really a thing because you needed to work to get food. So you naturally burned most calories through manual labor, nor can you gorge because food wasn't that abundant nor was it processed with sugars and other preservatives.

I mean go through a stroll in Walmart and look at what land whales pile into their carts. You realize many of those people are buying all of that on funds from food stamps/disability, etc. I have a friend, his father is 300+lbs has not worked in 20 years, there are a lot of people like him and it's not really a right/left issue.

WE could say all of them should be responsible for their own actions.

Still don't know what you're arguing about.

You're just angry for? Boomer vibes.

very interesting

when its poor white people from the countryside america is the land of opportunity and its their own fault, but for other groups its a repressive system with systemic racism and no opportunity for them

i do agree btw, there are plenty of ways to make a decent living

This might be a shocker to the MAGA peeps in this thread.
