The 99th percentile? I was just listing some of the "wisdom" that's been compiled in this thread about what poor people should be doing to better their situation if they weren't so goshdarned lazy.
Never mind that if you live in a big city and take public transit so you can wait around at the DMV for a couple hours to eventually get your ID card (better hope you have a copy of your birth certificate laying around!), that may represent enough lost wages that you can't afford rent or healthy groceries or whatever else you have to do to stay out of the "shitty parent/don't deserve to have children" zone.
