I think most Americans think this way cause they have nice home, cars, vacations etc, but the fact remains, most Americans if they had no income coming in for a month or two, they be homeless which snowballs into being poor and extremely hard to crawl out unless you have relatives to help you out AND you have the drive to do so. Most think it just takes one moving in right direction in life to get out of the ghettos and low income neighborhoods, but it is very hard to overcome gang pressures. How many times can someone keep getting up after trying to get out before they give up. And if you grew up all around you same crap everyday and don't see a change, you don't have many role models that can show it can be done. And tough for parents, both often working one and two jobs for their families to breakeven, when do you find time to go to school, then after done with school, can't find anyone to hire you. American is too much me me me, if they read how people lived during depression of 1930s, even if you had the drive, you had to compete with the masses for next to nothing.
Ever go down to homeless shelter for a week to help out? Just few hours a day, you might see how others don't live.
I wonder if Driverless cars will work in big cities as loss of signal will happen due to tall buildings?
