«Что вы волнуетесь за этих людей? Ну, вымрет тридцать миллионов. Они не вписались в рынок. Не думайте об этом – новые вырастут»

Не вписавшиеся «в рынок» америкосы:
I’m 29 years old. I have over $65,000 in student debt for a masters’ degree & no job for 1.5 years, only two interviews so far, even w/ dozens of job applications a week. I work side jobs & under paying freelance contracts.
I haven’t been to a doctor in four years despite cysts in my breasts I have to get checked annually, tooth pain, & mysterious abdominal pain. I don’t want to know what’s wrong because I can’t afford to fix it.
I am the 99 percent.

I am 27 years old. I have $40,000 in student loan debt. I still have no degree to show for it, but cannot continue school because I have no money to survive. I have not been able to find ANY work in over a year, and only short term temp jobs for nearly two years prior to that. I will likely be homeless in less than two weeks. My car just broke down, and I have no money to pay for the repairs. I live off of $200 per month in food stamps. I can no longer provide for myself, let alone for my girlfriend and her 3 year old son. I came from a military family with a history of service to our country in multiple wars. At places like McDonald’s and WalMart I am considered “over educated” and thus unemployable. I AM THE 99%!
...
All I want is a job I can do, a decent place to live, & some level of health care. I am tired of living in fear as I have done for more than a decade. I am the 99%
...

Правда они почему-то настаивают, что их, - таких вот - 99%, а не та, пятая часть населения (30 млн. по-Чубайсу), каковая должна была бы помереть в России. Но Россия, знаете ли, и не Америка!
Как вы думаете, отчего так? Полагаю, это всё виноват менталитет! Я знаю такое замечательное слово "менталитет". Им очень удобено оправдывать любую свою мысль. Менталитет, мол, таков - и баста! И не придерёшься.
Или, возможно, они просто лодыри и плохо работают. Как на протяжении двадцати лет внушали русским. Лодыри и всё тут! Надо как? Работать на двух, трёх, четырёх работах! Дома работать. Ночью не спать, а тоже - работать! А то ишь!..
