Well, I agree with most of this statement, except I was not directly discussing the poor. There are plenty of people that have jobs and were\are not poor, but maybe decided to opt our of their jobs, that seems to be a trend lately. There are plenty of people that live above their means and the massive inflation we are seeing right could be the impetus that puts them over the edge between surviving to needing to unload stuff.
