So you think billionaires will come and fix poor people problems stop it bro you’re just being silly.

Silly, except, again I lived it. It was great. And not just me, but all the people that I served with that also come from the hood, and took the same opportunities as I did, had the same great results. Not all of us have that white privilege of generational comfortability. Some of us come from a generation built on slavery. Slavery didn't pay very well.

And to clarify, I didn't say they were gonna fix shit. All I'm saying is that it creates the opportunities for poop people to fix it themselves. Again, because I lived it.

The fire department provides service whether you can pay or not.

Not if there is noone to provide a service. A municipality can disband a fire service. It's happened. Look what's happening in Compton.

Hasn’t worked in around 20 countries but you think it will work here yea ok.

Well yes, because again, I lived it. It worked great. Don't know why you're living in denial about that. 20 other countries aren't the US.

Bro you were a peon😂 stfu anybody can go contracting stop it. It worked out for the Americans in Iraq not the Iraqis. It paid the contractors well in Katrina but totally fucked over the people. Yes you got paid doesn’t mean it works for a whole federal government especially the time when they had a blank check.

My man read a fuckin book you keep saying the same shit it was dumb the first time still dumb 20 comments later

So the abuse and waste of contractors. Saw how we easily could have hired Iraqis instead of contractors so you know less people shooting. So first hand experience. I’m done with it bro have a good night I’m tired of me giving you a history lesson to response of I gOt PAiD So It wOrKs

Haha what? You obviously weren't in those places in the early 2000s again, this is why you shouldn't talk about things you have no experience with.

I’m done bro good night.

You said that multiple times and you want to talk about who sounds like a parrot? Maybe this time for real since you're now in full deflection mode.

Hopefully you get everything you wish for

I'm pretty sure I already explained that I already have. But to reiterate, I've given my kids a great present and future that I would have never dreamed of before I got a contractor job. And set them up so they can give their kids the very same thing and then some. And their kids and so on and so on. All while you can set your kids up for failure relying on second hand information and underpaid government jobs to get by all just so you can cry about it on reddit. Good luck!

My intelligence is what got the money. Weird you're having so much trouble understanding that. You think it would be easy to understand reading all those books!

But let's pretend I'm not the genius that I am. Let me give you some words of wisdom from a financially savvy dummy:

you can live without an education, but you can't live without money. Good luck!!!
