They probably have greater problems than just making money. Probably have disabled people or junkies to take care of.

They don't. They are driven towards alternate means of income until they slip up and turn into free slave labor through the prison system.

[Anonymous No.51262616]

In most states (if not all) you can still get on welfare programs like food stamps, even if you have a full-time job as long as it doesn't reach over $25k a year.

They also mooch off of their families, whether that's living with them rent free or just straight up begging them for money every other month.

Then there's just the aspect of living cheap. Having like 5 full outfits at most that they bought from wal-mart, eating fast food, too poor to have a car so they don't have to worry about the expenses associated with one, primary source of entertainment is sex with other poor people (added bonus: having kids entitles you to more welfare and child support if you're a woman).

Poors are entirely subsidized. If they struggle at all it is because they are spending obscene amounts of their government assistance on drugs or toys, which is incredibly common.

lmao you mutts live in one of the richest countries on earth, which despite this is more affordable than any western EU country
German programmers get paid $50k and their tendies cost more
and you STILL manage to complain

woe is the mutt, he cant live in the most prosperous country on earth, imagine if he had to make do on $500 in some EE shithole
merely being American is worth a million dollars (as in, people would pay a million to get citizenship), but the opportunity is wasted on the darkies

The truth is, it's because people want to be poor.

It's literally impossible not to be a multi-$Millionaire in today's world, unless you are genuinely putting effort trying to remain poor.

Seriously, can some wagie explain why the fuck you think being "le poor" is some obstacle in life?
At least when you're poor, no one gives a shit about whether you live or die.

When you're rich, you have to live with all the poor-wagie bitching. And. It. Never. Ends.

as far as I know you still need to get a work permit, you cant just start working on a tourist visa. And work permits aren't issued to b-1 tourists, you still need to pass the h-1b lottery or whatever
this rules out most employers since they need someone who can start solving their problems tomorrow, not someone who gets them into a bureaucratic mess lasting months that maybe ends in a work permit, or maybe doesnt, depending on luck with the quotas
If you know that its easier than this I'd love to hear about it, but that's my understanding. Not impossible, but it gives the employer a lot of leverage over you and luckily for me Switzerland is a comparable alternative without the multi-year hassle

you are rich merely by being in America
you get better healthcare than anywhere else. For example, do you think we Europeans can get paxlovid? Germany has 80 millions population and 1 million doses total, you're not getting that shit unless you have one foot in the grave
That $15 an hour wage? Its unfortunate that your life achievement is limited to a teenager's job, shouldve paid attention in school. But you're still earning more post-tax than the average German wagie - the minimum wage in Germany being $10.50, with much higher taxes and much smaller growth potential. Germany being just an easy comparison, you are of course also doing much better than the average French wagie, UK wagie, EE wagie, Russian or Asian etc etc as well.

And the point is, you can use this differential. In the land of the rich, you're just a nigger, but if you save up a bit and then go to Asia, people will worship the land you walk on. You can even get a job as a tutor or a company's face, because people will pay just for the association with america

>>51264019
the reason US healthcare is expensive is that supply grows to match demand - people have more money so the industry provides more prevention, more and better and more modern treatments, on an overall less healthy population
despite the price you will always get treated if you walk in
which is unlike the EU, where socialized medicine means you get to wait 6 months for your cancer screen. If you wait a bit before you treat people, thats a form of rationing, since some of them will die and wont need treatment. I sometimes see offhand mentions about how X survived cancer at 10yo or how their children survived cancer - and I KNOW that they are Americans, because nobody is screening you for cancer until you're 60+ in most countries, except maybe skin/breast

in the US, if you are completely irresponsible with no health insurance, you get treated and survive and can discharge the debt with bankruptcy
in Germany, you pay 20% of your salary, no choice on the matter, and then you die because you wont get screened lol
