You’re not excusing the culture, you’re SAYING WHAT IT IS.
I know, personally.
The adults are children who really don’t know the difference between 5,000 and 100,000 bucks. (yes, i’m serious)
They don’t know what debit cards or credit cards or stocks are.
These are folks in their 30s.
You’d be horrified.
Then again, maybe you wouldn’t be shocked at all.
I’ve seen it firsthand working at a thrift store accessible by city bus. So many of these adults are fundamentally retarded. I’m amazing at what they don’t know. Half the time I can’t understand what these people are even saying. Even the so-called educated ones speak in urban patois.
