Arian Moayed’s Subway Hot Take: “Everyone on Earth has to be poor for 5 years. It doesn’t have to consecutive. You don’t have to do it all at the same time. But you gotta feel what it feels like to have insufficient funds. You gotta be at a grocery store & it doesn’t go through.”

Or how about a structure in place to ensure this never happens to people in the first place.
This is pretty dumb, he assumes billionaires etc don’t have a clue how bad it is.
They do, they just don’t give a flying fuck.
So once I’ve served my time, will I be set free?
We should probably just not allow people to earn more than a certain amount of money tbh. Like after the first billion 100% tax rate and even then that might be too much
Super dumb take. Privileged people who can’t put themselves in someone elses shoes and understand what it’s like to struggle don’t think that way because they haven’t experienced it, it’s because they lack empathy and compassion.
My time is up, pull me out
Absolutely not. If you’ve ever been poor, you wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
I don’t think this would work because it’s already basically true for a lot of people. Plenty of folks, including professionals, are pretty poor in their twenties when they’re getting started in their careers Then, they get out of it and the lesson they learn is that “poverty is a temporary state I extricated myself from through my own hard work and ingenuity” and not “I work in a field where you don’t make much money for the first few years.”
This dude grew up with a dad who was a banker lol
Poverty is not a personal failing, it’s a societal failing.
