The poor have plenty of empathy, even more so than most. It just takes the back seat when priorities are to simply put food on the table the next day.
Poverty brain is weird. All mental strength is spent on ensuring one's own survival. And in this regard, acting on empathy comes with a cost. If not financial, it takes your focus away from your own needs. And those needs are so severe that every ounce of resources, monetary or mental, is spent wrestling against one's own impending ruin.

My dad was a dairy farmer. While I ended up in IT, a field he knew nothing about, he supported me the entire way. He did not understand my field of interest beyond the fact it was something I was interested in.
On the flip side, everything I know about machinery maintenance and repair I have from him. In my current field (an odd mix of It, industrial robotics and heavy machinery.... On ships), this background works well, as it gives me the diverse background needed for such a diverse work place.
I don't think there are anyone else in the company who can do VLAN and LACP trunks AND troubleshoot misbehaving hydraulics.
Again with an ANSI keyboard. Disgusting.
Including pretending to throw sticks and hiding them behind your back.

Any ship caught doing this crap should be impounded and repo'ed to pay for the damage with its bridge crew in lockup for sabotage.

It has an impact. There was a case a couple of years ago about a large Russian contingent of new arrivals to the front line getting HIMARS'd due to a social media post revealing their location. SBU are efficient in this regard.
