Hey, maybe poor people don't deserve to starve?

If lemmy.world finds this, please tell my starving children that I love them.
I really wouldn't mind the whole rhetoric of pulling yourself by the bootstraps if it wasn't rigged. The system is literally made to make ppl fail.
There's also the fact that it originated as an expression meaning "doing something impossible" since pulling on your own bootstraps would PREVENT you from getting up.
