My brother is deep in student loan debt. I skipped college because I couldn't afford to work and go to school.
I keep a collection of screws because they're expensive otherwise.
I can barely keep the lights on as a software dev.
Sure, I eat better than someone from halfway around the world. But likewise we're both being taken advantage of by people of higher social and economic status and deprived of basic needs. We all desire an end to the hierarchy of abuse regardless of where on the totem of who-has-it-worse we are. Now go eat your rice, there are starving kids in Kentucky.
I didn't buy a chair at my alma mater.
