It probably is. It is also a lot of people, in my experience, who are confusing "temporary broke because student" with "genuinely destitute." Yes, I too once lived in overcrowded shared housing with rats and cockroaches and landlords breathing down my neck. Which doesn't make it okay, but here's a lack of perspective at work. Now I do own a house and have a 60-70 hr/week job, which is what used to be middle class before that stopped being a thing. I don't own the means of production or anything.
Arugh, if you're on the internet in English-speaking spaces to make this argument, you're probably better off than most of the human population. But poverty != moral righteousness and it doesn't mean you have more or less of a right to survive.
Also...like. WTF. A doctor makes way more than I do and can generally afford more than a two-storey house, even. Should doctors not get the vaccine???
