    You could do with some lessons in reading comprehension.

    "Poor people are poor because they've never had the chance to learn how to manage money, and I suggest teaching them."

      Sure, poor people are poor because there's one specific piece of magical knowledge that they were never taught. Nothing to do with structural socioeconomic forces that keep people poor so that their labor can be more cheaply exploited.

          What do the root causes of poverty have to do with why people are poor? Damn, I guess we'll never know.

      That's just the same thing I wrote, basically. You're still saying it's their own fault that poor people are poor, except with an extra veneer of condescension.

      Why do I always end up reading so deeply into these threads started by fucking ghouls who seriously believe poor people are poor because they're just too stupid to understand how money works? I should have backed off when I saw how deep this goes, but no, I must hate myself, because here I am, having just read your ridiculous comment how some sort of nebulous "education" will solve poverty somehow. Fuck off until you learn some damn empathy. I hope you end up neck deep in debt through no fault of your own.

        I didn't claim it would solve poverty, I claimed it was the better route to dealing with scams like this. But sure, have a lovely day cursing everybody you meet who you disagree with.
