How is it possible to be poor in America if everyone in this picture makes $100+k?Is every poor American on 4chan a drug addict?
median wage is like $60k. that's not enough for rent + thriving. i'm only chilling because I live with my parents and we own our house.
>>62327280>Is every poor American on 4chan a drug addict?People do drugs because they're poor, not vice versa. Even a cocaine habit is comparatively cheap when put next to various nonnegotiable running costs like car house and health insurance not to mention Diesel thanks to a certain comped diddler.Drugs are the poorfag way of going on vacation or having a fine dining experience.
>>62327292>People do drugs because they're poorpsilocybin is insanely cheap though, albeit you run the risk of your mind getting broken temporarily if you don't navigate it well enough, just dont fight it.but anyway, like $50 for a month's supply of weekly insanity is not a bad deal. quite cheap.
Too much avocado toast and starbucks. Americans buy a new car every two year plus too of gadgets. Be poor in America is conscious choose.
>>62327292This is just not true, lmao. Drug use becomes a lot more obvious in lower income areas because they don't care to hide it. But if you actually hang around rich people, you'll find that coke flows pretty freely at their parties. Shit, sewage water samples taken in most countries consistently show that high income areas have the highest per capita usage of coke
>>62327280american poors don't know how to be poor
>>62327341Correct.>>62327292>People do drugs because they're poorNope. People do drugs for 1 of 2 reasons: poor impulse control or protections from consequences. Poor people tend to have poor impulse control while rich kids tend to be shielded from the consequences of their actions. What do you know, both groups see lots of drug use.
Think less about individual numbers and more about the ratio of money circulating to things that are available to buy.
