Yup, or you take maybe a couple risks in a lifetime, but if they don't pan out you suffer from them for years as you go back to stability and try to regain what little of a toehold on a good life you might have had.
The very real lesson for the poor is "don't try," especially if you have dependents. You'll be knocked back harder than you can imagine.
These mfs don't know what it's like to see loved ones start losing teeth because you made a failed push and now you're paying it back with interest.
You can see how this structure favours the most sociopathic members of society, as they are the ones that will take more risks without regard for others.
