Reply to comment by Kindly-Mycologist135 in New cohort study of 3.7 million adults finds that long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with an increased risk of having a heart attack or dying from heart disease — associations more pronounced in low socioeconomic status communities by marketrent

Are you going to drive me? Because as someone with epilepsy, it's very hard to get to one of those "better jobs". And are you going to help me get accepted? Because so far no matter what I've tried, I haven't been able to get accepted into any, even with my diploma and some college-level education.

The job market is getting hammered. There are tons of layoffs recently and maybe more to come. Pin pointing the cause of not getting a job is unclear at this point.

Under capitalism, there is competition between companies and individuals, the best should rise to the top. The reality and the theory don’t overlap 100%, but none the less is what’s going on in general.

Products cost what they cost, based on what it cost to make the product, plus some profit.

Differences in employment status, salary, and product cost will make some products not accessible by some groups.

I understand the fact it's not going to be easy to get a better job with everyone else losing theirs, but you just told us to go and get better ones regardless and an electric car is basically my only shot at keeping a decent job like that. So are you going to help me or not?

An electric car is not the only option.

In any economy, there will be people who can’t get jobs. It’s impossible to make the market perfectly balanced. We will have either some people that are un-employed or companies who can’t find employees.

Depending on what sector of the economy you’re education is in, that sector may not have enough jobs for the general population.

This is a big issue in American Society. How we solve this issue is is the problem.

When you live more than 20 miles away from any job openings, it starts to become the only option
