Yeah that is real nail on the head stuff. The poverty trap is real. I really believe everyone should be poor once in their life for at least a year with no end in sight because many / most who haven’t experienced it don’t have the empathetic capacity to imagine it.
Having the bottom fall out really changes your perspective. Folks need to have empathy and I have a strong sensation that those well off don’t realize that most of us are a few missed paychecks or a medical emergency away from being destitute.
