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'
I still don’t think you quite get it. There is a difference between opportunity and ability. I put 100 people on a track and say whoever runs the fastest mile gets $1 million dollars. Obviously the guy who prepared and trained and had the ability is going to win unless he blows out a knee. 100 people had an opportunity to get a million dollars that day. Now the 50 people I told to sit in the bleachers because I arbitrarily decided the were not competing had no opportunity.
The means are there for anyone to earn money in the U.S. no one can legally keep anyone “out of the race” so to speak. That doesn’t mean that natural ability or disability don’t help/hinder the outcome.
Equality of opportunity is not equality of outcome.
That’s bullshit logic. If you put 20 people on a track and one person gets a million, then not everyone can make a million. One in twenty can make a million. So no matter what, 19 in 20 aren’t making a million. So your previous statement that everyone in America should be a millionaire is bullshit and out of touch. No there isn’t that much opportunity in america.
I'm not pursuing equality of outcome, I'm not a filthy commie. But in your race analogy, you need to realize that there are 50 people with a broken leg who simply cannot run.
Obviously this should not take away anything from the race winner. But as a society we need to find a way to take care of the 50 that couldn't run, and not dismiss them as "it's their fault so I don't care lol".
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!"
2 dollars for literally the time it takes to scoot a turd into a shovel with another shovel, then drop them into a canister with a bag in it. Then I walk next door and do it again. Again, you could make 14 dollars in 10 minutes.
Your scenario is absolutely preposterous. It assumes that you could scour a whole yard in like a minute, it assumes no expenses, like travel and where to put all this shit, and it assumes that you can get half of EVERY neighborhood on board to reduce travel time and to ensure sufficient business. You’re even assuming 0 cost to obtain business, which it would have to cost $0 because you’re talking about gross income of $2 what? A week per customer? And how often does this customer pay? I assume there’s 0 cost in collecting the payments too. These are ridiculous assumptions. There’s a reason that business DOESNT exist, and it’s not because of laziness, it’s because it’s a shitty idea.
So how many people have an IQ below 80? You think they can be productive members of society?
And IQ is only one of the reasons.
There's mental illnesses, physical illnesses, having to take care of family members, drug addictions, and obviously lacking a family, values and work ethic.
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.

Some people are too stupid to wipe their asshole, let alone "work hard and save and invest".
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.
