> It's not an isolated choice. Their choice to be poor is usually a consequence of them deciding that some other activity is easier and better than attempting to build wealth for themselves.
Fucking hell, talk about the seething techbro in this utter screed.
Poverty can be related to choices you did. But it's usually choices your parents did, and the community you live in.
Schools are funded with local taxes. Naturally poverty areas get shit schools.
Same thing with any govt resource. The poorer, the worse.

But it's easy, especially for capitalists, to turn systemic problems into "individual choices cause bad". Easier to dismiss and deride individuals that way.
