“So that lazy POOR should’ve gotten a better one!”
“???”
It’s amazing how conservatives miss the point so reliably. I imagine it’s intentional for Bench Appearo, but many others are probably just genuinely that blinkered in their thinking.
Seriously, so by Ben’s argument, the best thing for poor people to do is either 1. Organize into a labor union to negotiate better wages, or 2. Use violence against the rich as a valid tactic to improve your wages.
Hard to do all those things without support. Student loans for example would allow someone to survive without a low wage job while developing more valuable skills.
What’s the conservative position on those again? Checks notes… well fuck you too!

Explore your talents, skills, strengths, etc. Identify them.
Find an outlet or a need in society that plays to your strengths, skills.
Make it pay a lot of money.
Technically not wrong. That’s all easier said than done, and it can be hard landing a job that really pays.

Find out what poor-paying job that poor person holds. Now ask yourself, “if everyone with this job were to vacate, how would that affect me?”
See? See how you can still be selfish but slightly less stupid at the same time?
It allows them to feel an increased agency
