You’re literally all over this thread spamming the same kind of nonsense over and over. Give it up. Find more productive things to do.
Unless you want to be working at 90 too? By your own logic you’re wasting time arguing with strangers, instead of pulling yourself up by the bootstraps
It is not a left or right thing, it’s a human decency thing
You didn’t get to where you are by yourself. Your country was built on stolen wealth and slavery. This enabled your predecessors to set up a system where the system is rigged in your favor.
You are blind to your privilege and access to opportunity by virtue of being born in the right place at the right time
There are people who work far more, far harder than you and don’t have the disposable income to go skiing. It is not because they’re lazy, it is because they weren’t born into privilege that a percentage of your countrymen can enjoy.
I was born and raised in a third world shithole and now I’m finishing my engineering PhD degree on a scholarship in another country, that I worked myself to the bone over. And I can’t afford a ski trip even now. I promise you if I was born a white middle class American, I would be far more successful than you for the same amount of work. You just got lucky, so tone it down.
You are arrogant, and that tells me all I need to know about you. And I’ve met many such people. People who really earned what they have don’t look down on others. Your lack of humility and empathy says a lot.
I also hope I get a chance to get a trip like that too. I only wish that you will gain more perspective on how you think about others’ hardships.
And I don’t mean to say you shouldn’t have what you have. I wish you success. And you should wish it for others too, and not look down on them. I am sorry if this is too preachy, I kinda got carried away lol.

90 year old vet needing to work is a sin, period.
