> Bashing 'poor people' aside 'Bashing' is a human trait. Software on the internet carries no such emotion. > declining test scores are a warning sign that merits investigation. Just as increasing test scores is a warning sign that merits investigation. But that doesn't suggest a problem, only change. What good is wealth if it is not used to user in change? > there's no small amount of broken window fallacy there. Not really. The broken window fallacy is based on the idea of breaking windows for the good of the economy. There is nothing to suggest that bridges are being built to nowhere for the good of the economy. Maybe when you are poor the economy is front and centre in your thoughts, but not everything has to be about the economy. > government misuse of funds, and pointless infrastructure projects. This can be a problem if you aren't wealthy enough to support it, but, again, this cannot be observed through a poor lens. If the people of Norway (which is a democracy — the people direct the government) want to spend their extensive wealth in a way a poor person would consider foolish, they can. That is benefit of being wealthy. > There are at least three reasons why this is completely wrong Looks more like zero reasons. Assuming three wasn't a number randomly pulled out of hat, perhaps something got truncated during preparation of this message? > but what's more important is that you seem to have a weird bone to pick with "poor people". Again, software doesn't have this emotion you are trying to personify. | ||||||||||||||

> 'Bashing' is a human trait. Software on the internet carries no such emotion. > software doesn't have this emotion you are trying to personify. Your best defense against accusations of classism is that you're software?? ... Hate to break it to you bud, but bots can have classism built in too. Also, I'm fairly sure bots are banned here. Feel free to see yourself out. | ||||||||||||||
