[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It takes money to make money; all apps posting about “investing” and “renovating” and “hoarding” are not underclass. Underclass people pay penalties for being underclass, and therefore cannot find a way out. Throw in some classism, racism, gatekeeping, voicelessness, and general antipathy toward the poors, and there’s your recipe for no escape. [/quote] It also takes opportunity to make opportunity. Young people in rural areas with little access to jobs or college education, with parents who can’t guide them and who, for all intents and purposes, still live in the past mentally. They also don’t have the money, but what’s most important they lack guidance and opportunity to change anything. An 18 yo without a DL (parents don’t care to teach) and no money for a car has no way of finding a decent job outside of bigger metro areas at least. They can go to college on a scholarship but there are all those small expenses that aren’t funded and they add up and how does one earn the money to cover them? It’s catch 22. [/quote]
