      Yeah, no. I can tell you’re purposefully ignoring what I am saying because it’s not what you want to hear.

      For the record before I block you, I am referring to those who are living above their means because accepting a cheaper way of life “isn’t good enough for them.”

      It’s not about needs. It’s about wants. That’s what you misunderstand when you say “many Americans need 2 jobs just to survive.”

      It’s straight up not true.

      Gonna ignore you now.

        It’s absolutely true, though, and rather than recognizing that the problem is systemic, you blame behavior of individuals. I know the point you’re making, I just think it’s a bad point.
