That is not the type of situation we were talking about.

Suuuuure, Ranger, you're right - I'm wrong.

Non English speakers and people with severe mental or
physical disabilities can succeed by sheer grit and
determination.

Ignore the fact that hard working people often have more
than one (undesirable) job, but aren't getting ahead and
will never be ahead. Fortunately, some of them have
children who are a success in anyone's book and should be
able to take care of them in their old age - but others have
children who are just like any other work-a-day folks who
"man" the service oriented businesses near you.

If NO ONE worked at restaurants (from bus boy to chef), at
gas stations (from gas jockey to mechanic) or department
stores (from clerk to buyer)... if no one answered the phone
when you called your ISP, cable, gas or electric company....
if no one picked up your TRASH or cleaned your office... if
no one could paint your house, fix your windows, replace
your garage door, repair your roof or unclog your drain...
if no one filled in pot holes on your street or repaired
telephone/electric wires... if no one wanted to be a night
watchman, fight wild fires or empty your bed pan you when
you are incapacitated - what would your life be like?

The people YOU choose to denigrate are the very people who
make your life easier! You need an attitude an adjustment.
