This is a sensitive issue and always has been for me, but my skepticism towards rich people came up again and I felt it was appropriate to bring it up in this context.
Here's the thing, rich people: I don't claim to know what it's like to have a lot of money. I probably never will. Hopefully at one point I will know what it's like to be comfortable, but for now all I know is what it's like to be poor and have mounds of debt.
See, all I ask from you is that you admit that you have no concept of what it means to be poor. I need clarity from you that there is an experience separate from your own which may, in fact, exist outside your realm of comprehension. I don't ask you to recognize that this other experience is more miserable than your own. I don't ask you to recognize the hardships inherent in it. I just need you to admit you have no fucking clue what being poor is all about.
Because when you refuse to admit that, I will yell at you. A lot.
Verdict: 5/10
