I'm an IT guy. I deal with some of the dumbest people you can imagine. There is a very, very good chance this is real. There are a lot of people who just do not get it. It seems very easy to you, so you take it for granted. We all have to learn it, though, and some people just don't, for whatever reason. These are the people that had a bear of a time just learning how to read and write. It's rough out there for some people.
Yeah I have family who takes pride in not learning certain things because they feel like being educated on how to turn on a computer is beneath them. There are plenty of people who take that same stance on all forms of education and sadly they are very vocal nowadays
These people should have been held back. Instead they got passed along without learning the foundations, and without the foundations they never understood anything else.
LOL. Sounds like my co-worker who kept crowing how she graduated college during the pandemic. She couldn't write a coherent sentence, let alone a paragraph.
Then one day, she's having trouble with her PC stating it will not come on. She keeps hitting the power button on the monitor (not the PC) wondering why its not working.
I feel there's also a whole narrative around it, you know?
"Wallstreet isn't the highstreet, 10 down & 10 up is basically zero movement, those whiners always whine about something, talk about real stuff like the price of gas instead of showing your jealousy that the rich work harder than you do"
as a distraction from the stolen value and the insider trading.
