I agree that income inequality doesn't help, but you can't just allow thievery and lawlessness.

Did you see the cars these "income inequality" thieves drove in on? Some nice ones. Income inequality isn't the reason this is happening. There have always been poor people like me growing up but this was never even dreamed of nor did I have a Lexus to drive downtown Portland, park in front of the store, run in grab expensive clothing and then casually run out.

This is a culture issue and the predominant offender is African American.

I think what Road is getting at is there is a threshold of poverty you cross that attributes to less criminality.

Even though you're billions away from Elon, you're much more like he is than someone on the street is to someone making 50k.

How we are at a point that a large portion of people feel victimized and entitled while living in the most prosperous and opportunity laced country in human history is the real problem.

But policies and narratives put in place by the left have a lot of people feeling the system is against them and that they are helpless to do anything about it.

My favorite grievance is when women get history and philosophy degrees then claim theres a wage gap

I have a lotta smart friends with "advanced" degrees toiling in mediocrity that are pissed off the class clown runs circles around them in the real world.
