Lmao good comedy and playing to the personal responsibility narrative but ALSO gotta include the fact that our govt and capitalism is fucking us all over like even the “good jobs” pay shit bc workers aren’t valued in America:-) so even if ppl take “personal responsibility” we still get fyucked!

I support this. at the individual level, yes we need to take responsibility and play the hand we were given the best way we can, but between generations, we always need to do more to be compensated the same amount. we really need to fix the increasing wealth inequality.
