“Oh you’re unhappy and you want a better life? Just quit your dead-end job, break your rental agreement, and move to a new city with better opportunities, you COWARD! It’s SIMPLE!”

No. No it is not. If it was just that simple, fucking everyone would do it.

Being poor is not a moral failing or a lack of dedication or work ethic or courage. It’s a lack of fair wages, a lack of better opportunities, and a lack of access to resources to correct either of those problems.
