I actually feel heard. As I read into it I think that

1. the foolish person isn't the stinky guy, it's the "people who mind their own business"

2. the situation is kinda fucked up

Therefore the stinky, not well todo guy would presumably get some sympathy past the veneer. As if to say that their struggles aren't entirely moral and the result of a just situation. I can believe as much, discuss the news with like-minded people, read theory, but when my job search kicks my teeth in its simple to believe I'm just a silly goose. But this felt encouraging.
