    When you have a country where child poverty in some states is miserable, where workers protections in some states are miserable, where education is often miserable, and where this produces people who vote for misery, I guess you just get used to being surrounded by misery.

      True and sad really, that’s why my comment. I personally know people who left their country with the whole family and company and people with just a plastic bag with their clothes. People shouldn’t be used to misery.

        People shouldn’t be used to misery.

        Getting used to misery might be the only option when profits is to be gained from forcing people to work as hard as possible.

        I’m a teacher. “Get used to misery” is what we teach young people.
