i get the vibe from this comment you probably believe all poor people are poor because of their spemding habits :)


There are obviously external forces that contribute to anyone’s circumstances rich or poor.

But, ultimately, you can only spend as much as you make in income, or go bankrupt. Choosing to tack on an interest payment to your costs is often an unnecessary additional cost for people. That’s true if you’re poor buying a rudimentary TV or rich maxing out credit cards to furnish your mansion.


Depends. If your poor in America, then spending is often part of the equation. If your poor in India then perhaps not.


im all for let us poor brokies do what we want


man that's the engine of modern day slavery or commonly referred to by the players of the game as the trap :)


lol sometimes it is so hard to predict what will show up on HN but the takes of "i used to poor turned it around by my hard work nothing else" crowd is always a hoot


lol for some of us i doubt multi galatic multi dimensional searches would yield nothing


your double negative implies confidence

and confidence is the most effective quality

he who knows himself and the enemy will not lose in 100 battles

but who can foresee fate's fickle finger of luck?


if you look in the mirror and scare yourself or a girl made you wear a bag over your face during sex like me just become a monk :)


nah igor disagrees :)


one human's struggle is another's riches at least you got some matches?

imagine being so revolting you didn't get any like me keep ya head up


this is very naive and kind of adorable if you look at it in the grand scheme of things nothing really has changed since the days of the theocracy

we have gigantic compute clusters that do things what humans would have thought as deities but have people advocating for the return of feudalism

we are closer to pride and prejudice than ring world that won't change in the next 1000 years or so regardless of the amount of wisdom


> nothing really has changed since the days of the theocracy

democracy is God's Will, because all our free wills are equal, and we should work together in cooperation instead of against each other in competition

theocracy based upon love has basically never been tried

most theocrats are just doing it for the power, money, and sex, in whichever order

the Wisdom of the lovers of God are also the lovers of their neighbors, but they do not rule nations, or even cities

but they could, if only the people tried to learn the value of compassion

that is the only path to success, all else is compromise, and often a horrible one at that

  always love, teach to always love
  never hate, teach to never hate
we could choose to live compassionately, create compassionate societies, if we wanted, but our selfish desires must be shelved to do so

and so, it's just more of the same, with different tech, now in service to the Church of the Almighty Dollar, no matter which denomination
