Got my first job at 13 - had my fair share of poverty, absolutely will give shit to people like Berlin if they continue to lack insight. I meet a lot of people with very little resilience - and when you dig into it, it seems like they never really had much in the way of struggle and have very little of interest to add to conversations. Why on earth we let these people take up positions in politics and the arts is beyond me. I'm not saying you have to be dirt poor to have a valid viewpoint, but I really do struggle with the champagne socialists - and here in London that's about 80% of the people I meet.
