So what is it with US coastal elites these days? I see we have two in the thread. One east coast one west coast. Why all the guilt with being successful and why all the liberal, progressive, let’s make everything complicated, attitudes? I read an article today about how savings is a sign of white privilege and the poor can’t save because of the system. I got about €100 in food market credits from cans and bottles and about €600 in a savings account from scanning VAT tax receipts I find in the ground. I may feel pretty smug but privileged? Not even close.
