Another person who somehow missed the fact that many if not most low income people work just as hard as high income people. Many have two jobs just to make rent and utilities and food is scarce. You want a real comparison make one guardian get an exotic or 25 strange coins every raid, strike, and PvP match while the other only gets one single strange coin EVERYTIME. Even that isn't fair though because there is nothing you HAVE to spend coins on, so maybe make it so you have to buy primary ammo with strange coins and you have to burn one to heal up from dmg and then you are getting closer. The problem is that games are a shit example. Especially with RNG because there is a built in system already making it fair for everyone (Bungie IS the government and they do their best to make it even for all), you just have to play enough and you win. Real life doesn't work that way... no matter how many hours you put in at a low paying job each week you are NEVER going to get rich.

  • You make a lot of arguments about how unfair things are for poor people, and yes as a struggling college student I understand this. But, the thing is, LIFE isn't fair. If you want something bad enough you earn it

  • I don't think everything needs to be fair but too many people think that if you just work hard enough you will make it. Real life doesn't work that way, and to imply that people at the bottom don't want it enough to put in the work is just false. They work plenty hard and have just as much drive to do better, but there are a limited number of good paying jobs and when you have to feed your family you can't always be picky. You may succeed but that doesn't mean that everyone that goes to college will. Working hard doesn't guarantee success, just talk to a business owner who put everything they had into it but still couldn't compete with Walmart (and ended up bankrupt). People fail a lot, it just doesn't grab headlines because people want to hear the success stories.

  • Make smart choices, don't exert yourself for a low-paying job. Make a plan, reach a goal, and look to find a more profitable venture. Don't just accept your current situation. For the people that get through the hard times and succeed, do you think after they've gone from minimum wage to making 100K they're going to want to have 35-40% of that taxed?

  • do you honestly think that would work if everyone could do that? What you said is you should basically take more money from the system than you get back. If everyone just takes from the system soon enough the system has no money. finding a 'profitable venture' only suits to rob from others keeping them from doing the same to you at the same time. The top 1% already have their system in place, not everyone can climb up there no matter how intelligent they are or how hard they try.

  • lol, just stating facts. pure capitalism is taking more than you give. Eventually you'll just run out of resources.
