People don’t live in poverty “because they refuse to move”

They live in poverty because they are stuck there, and moving to somewhere else is incredibly expensive and difficult

Your worldview is utterly detached from the reality of the common person

Not sure how that's "detached from reality."

I've moved a ton. It has never cost me anything other than the cost of renting a moving truck and sore legs for a few days. Certainly beats living in a place with no job or some random low-paying job.

Okay lol

Lol what?

Lol that you think your experience is the norm while claiming that others are simply fools for choosing not to move

The news flash here brain genius, is that YOU can do that, almost everyone else cannot

All right. Fair enough. I don't think that I took everyone else for a fool, but I never saw it as a very expensive or hard thing to move. Not in my experience. But others could have a different experience. Thanks for the heads-up.
