Privilege is wearing $200 sneakers when you've never had a job.
I was in a mall a few years ago and saw all of these people lined up. I thought, "That's weird. I haven't heard of a new phone coming out or some other common waste of money." Then I saw they were lined up in front of Foot Locker. "Odd," I thought, "Must be a celebrity there today signing autographs."
Nope, these people were lined up to buy fucking ugly ass Air Jordans at several hundred dollars a pop.
Meanwhile I have deal alerts set up to buy shoes when discounted. I live within my means and save for a rainy day.
In my State, a trio of joggers tried to rob a man for new shoes. The joggers didn't get in line in time to buy the new ones, one pulled a gun on someone who bought a pair (fucked around), at which point the victim pulled a gun and fired one shot, killing the mugger (found out). The police and courts did not arrest or charge the victim who defended himself. They arrested the other 2 involved in the mugging, and were contemplating slapping them with murder charges for taking part in the attack. This was a few years ago, I think '14 or '15. https://www.fox19.com/story/27682233/middletown-teen-shot-killed-at-dayton-mall/
Privilege is seeing 20% of the country losing their incomes/businesses due to a Pandemic, but your check is still funded on time, every month. And, Oh!, You lost no income, but here comes a stimulus check too! ... but Vote Biden! cause you need to vote against the 'Man'
A low IQ man can buy a little cart and a jumpsuit and sell his services to rich people who own many pets, picking up the pet shit on their property. The only overhead would be the cost of bags. He can save his money to buy a vehicle, like an ATV or something, to pull that cart, and while now he has to buy gas, he can work faster and cover more land. If he makes enough, he can buy a second cart/vehicle and hire someone and double his range. I know that I, though I am not rich, would gladly give a man 2 bucks a visit to come by maybe three times a week to pick up my dog's turds. It would take him maybe 2 minutes to make those two bucks. The next two houses down from me also have dogs, skip a house, then three more with dogs. All of our back yards are accessable without passing through the house, many of them yard-to-yard. Potentially, the Low IQ Poop Man could make like 14 bucks on my side of the street alone in 10 minutes. Across the street are another seven or eight houses with dogs, one of which has three! Charge four, five bucks for them per visit (group rate) and move on.
The insane can't hold a job, sure. But Low IQ? Don't have to be smart to put your nose to the grindstone. And this is America. Our "poor" is 99% of Human History's "Quick, bow down, this is either a King or a God, but no matter what don't offend him, lest he smite us!"
Whats your point? You're jealous of nice shoes, you can't afford nice shoes or they don't deserve nice shoes? I collect Jay's because I can, you just sound envious tbh.
This. A company makes a thing like shoes or a jersey and they arbitrarily decide their product will be limited and valuable because they know dumbasses will pay any price to possess "something special". There is big money to be made in the "limited and valuable" market because some people really are that stupid.
For another example, look no further than how big jewelry has scammed the world over pretty rocks.
The hilarious part is that they are not even limited. Limited in the 21st century almost always still means millions of the product were produced. Instead of collecting worthless shoes, and in the case of Nike, being complicit in slave labor, buy some safe long term securities and build your wealth.
Fashion is foreign to me, particularly the men who like to peacock it up. I can understand buying a pair of American made leather shoes like Allen Edmonds or something buy buying Chinese made shoes made by a company that openly hates Americans?

"I know a guy who makes 100k+ selling sneakers to retards."
Seems like a good way to get shot.

And there is one quote about the jogger in the article: "JJ was a good kid, making good decisions and turning his life around..." A meme in real life.
Wow, so that's what it's like to be free, instead of living in Canada.
This is absolutely false.
There's many, many people who will always be poor due to mental illness or low IQ.

And I'm saying that no, most people don't have the opportunity to make good money.
You'll never make a million dollar if you're mentally retarded or have some debilitating mental illness. And that's a good chunk of the population.
I know people with down syndrome who are regional walmart managers.
Mental Illness can be compensated for with work ethic and ability to follow simple instructions.
If you have no work ethic, you could be the next einstein and it would be pointless.

Step 1 - Find something in need.
Step 2 - Provide service/product needed.
Step 3 - Profit.
You would never make good money accepting $2 to pick up after someone’s dog. That’s slave wages
You clearly have no idea what low IQ means. You think it's just being bad at arithmetic?
Low IQ people can't even fucking understand that they need to save money to buy food the day after.
That's why Africa is a shithole. Because the majority of black people can only survive if they are maintained by the white man.
50% of the population is below average intelligence.
I can respect this.
Bro that’s your white privilege, don’t you know delayed gratification and saving for the future are white characteristics.
I feel like you're referencing an actual study or info graphic but I could be making shit up.
They buy this shit then complain about how they cant survive... Can confirm, have been human for many years.

Spending 100s of dollars on shoes made by Chinese slaves under horrible working conditions for $.50 an hour isnt really anything to be jealous of.
