As someone who was poor and now is not poor, that’s bullshit. I was for sure envious of well-off folks around me. Now I absolutely don’t take it for granted.

It wasn't envy. It was a normal reaction to an unjust situation.

You're right sorry. So it was envy. But I don't think it's the same kind of envy, coming from someone who also left poverty, and felt that too.
