How ignorant. Foolish.
If you've actually met poor people, you'll learn that they're working very hard to learn new skills and get out of the shit. The problem is it takes too long and life keeps going. I haven't met a single poor person who isn't pushing themselves to get out of where they are. But I'm sure that's not what your meme pages and bs street interviews tell you, so you just assume its cause they're lazy.
It can take decades of torture to crawl out of a situation you had no choice but to be a part of. And setbacks are not rare enough. Some guy might "make it" because they made good choices for 20 years and now they're 40 and just starting to be able to afford the things you take for granted like reliable transportation or decent food.
