    The most odious part of this is the encouragement of self-blame, which I think is also intentional on his part as a self-help fuckwad.

    For some reason the 2016-2018 paycheck-to-paycheck articles about 40% of Americans not being able to afford a $400 dollar expense are now written in terms of $1000 expenses. A literal majority of the population of the US cannot afford a $1000 emergency expense without going into (more) debt.

    I would guess that ~50% cannot afford an emergency expense of half that amount.

    The guy’s business is to go on tv and convince people to hate themselves for a condition shared by a majority of the population that is foisted on us by the most powerful people in the world. I can’t imagine a revolutionary tribunal for this guy would take more than 5 minutes from opening argument to the wall.
