What is the author's opinion on the idea that systemic economic issues are solely the result of individual choices and on suggesting that those who face economic challenges are incompetent or lazy?
Your right. It's not his fault. To pretend that systemic economic problems in 2017 are just the result of individual choices is either dishonest or deeply ignorant. To go even further and suggest everyone who wants a fair kick at the can is incompetent or lazy is just being an asshole.
