    Unfortunately, being firmly from a working class family, I can guarantee you that we plebs struggle with the exact same things + actual poverty (not being able to go to a doctor,…).

    I wish I could say we’re magically happy for every crumb thrown our way, but we all realize we are scrawny mice at best while the world is ruled by cats.

      Again, my point isn’t that poor people are happy or happier than the wealthy. My point is that our system doesn’t even beneft those who are (supposed to be) in charge. They think it does, but it’s more like an addiction that controls and destroys them.
