Well, the poor tend to be less educated and only care about immediate needs. So yeah, if you have money, you’re probably more of an expert than a person without money.
Considering the fact that I grew up in extreme poverty - yes, yes I know ALL about them. Unlike random muricans who’s only struggle is inability to buy a new iPhone each year.
Do you honestly believe there is no greater poverty in America than “can’t buy the latest phone”? What about the swathes of people who struggle to keep a roof over their heads?
Education being free or not depends on the specific government and its policies of a sovereign country. Education may not be free in your country, in which case yes poor people have less access if they have less money to afford it.
You generalizing your experience in your country to the entire world, though, speaks to your bias and lack of education, which is quite ironic. It also speaks to your willingness to accept the status quo rather than try to undermine it and fight for something better for everyone.
If you’re on Lemmy, you’re likely not rich, and so you’re acting against your own interest. We as a proletariat could achieve so much if we were willing to put aside our differences, aim towards the removal of rich twats from power, and install systems and policies that benefit us, not them.
Instead, you’re propagating a lie with undertones that only rich people have the curiosity to learn about the world around them - as if they were born with that capability while the rest of us weren’t - all while failing to recognize that immediate needs have to be met first before people think about pursuing higher goals.
The rich are not us. You group us altogether, as if we share anything. We don’t. The rich time and time again pit us against each other while planting the seed that we’ll be them one day. We won’t.
Personally I don’t buy into the whole measurable intelligence mentality. I am a firm believer that a person without any medically significant cognitive deficiencies are all smart in some way and are experts in some particular field/subject.
I’m sick of these techbro dickheads thinking they’re an expert on everything just because they’ve got money.
Plus they basically have advanced degrees in enshittification

lick them boots.
Ah yes. “The poor”. Know all about them do you?
Considering the fact that I grew up in extreme poverty - yes, yes I know ALL about them. Unlike random muricans who’s only struggle is inability to buy a new iPhone each year.
You know, you’re winning me over. You do sound like an idiot.
Oh no!
Anyways…

Making bad financial decisions is not poverty.
And bicycles aren’t French bulldogs. So what?

Have a down vote.
Proletariat, lol. Are you living in the 18th century?
What word would you use?
Just people.
People refers to poors and rich, no?
And?
The rich are not us. You group us altogether, as if we share anything. We don’t. The rich time and time again pit us against each other while planting the seed that we’ll be them one day. We won’t.
Yes cause a spoiled brat that constantly relied on their parents’ money growing up is sure to be shrewd and technical.
I’m poor as shit and I think I’m pretty damn smart.
My ex was a trust fund baby and dumb as rocks. I did his college capstone for him.
People who think they are smart usually overestimate their abilities.

Dunning-Kruger is very overstated.
False confidence is real, but it’s silly to think all confidence is false.
Think less.
Think more.
That’s a rather large leap in logic. And “the poor” wasn’t even mentioned, so your opinion just comes off as inflammatory
But I guess opinions are like kittens, people just give 'em away
