At no point did I allege that, so no.
Doubt. They'll find some other money trap to fall into in a week unless they're taught to actually be smarter about their finances.
”Poor people are poor because of their inferior nature” Fuck off.
You could do with some lessons in reading comprehension.
"Poor people are poor because they've never had the chance to learn how to manage money, and I suggest teaching them."
Why do I always end up reading so deeply into these threads started by fucking ghouls who seriously believe poor people are poor because they're just too stupid to understand how money works? I should have backed off when I saw how deep this goes, but no, I must hate myself, because here I am, having just read your ridiculous comment how some sort of nebulous "education" will solve poverty somehow. Fuck off until you learn some damn empathy. I hope you end up neck deep in debt through no fault of your own.
I didn't claim it would solve poverty, I claimed it was the better route to dealing with scams like this. But sure, have a lovely day cursing everybody you meet who you disagree with.
