And some of us don’t have the luxury to risk it. Even if it leads to a better world.

To bring it back full circle:

Poverty literally rewires our brains and makes us plan on very very short timescales.

Feeling like you don’t have the luxury to plan ahead is both parties playing on normal human thinking to take advantage of you.

They keep you poor, and you can’t see through their bullshit.

Nothing will ever be fixed if we’re always ignoring the long-term and just taking any crumbs were offered now.

We get the option of a shit sandwich or a single baloney sandwich a day.

Obviously the bologna is better, but it’s not enough to live off of, we’re just going to starve slower.
