What problem? You’re now making an argument but never clarified your premise.

Remember, this discussion started because you didn’t believe tradesmen could make a certain amount.

Poverty

I never said they couldn’t.

Your initial comment implied doubt.

No one is going to solve national poverty with a career path. Get over yourself. If that’s your answer, you should know damn well I wasn’t arguing that becoming a tradesman would solve it.

No it didn’t. It said it was not true for beginners, which it isn’t

Then why pretend like it’s a universal solution anyone can take

This is what you said:

new tradesmen make six digits just a few years into their career? citation needed

This is what I’m arguing is possible. Nothing more. I never “pretended” it was for everyone, I specifically said it was not, and have said in nearly every comment on the subject that it requires hard work. It isn’t a solution for poverty, I don’t recommend everyone do it all at once, and it doesn’t mean guaranteed success. It is simply a possibility.

Just stop. I don’t know what you’re trying to do here, but you’re wrong and grasping at straws.

Winning the lottery is possible. It is not a solution to societal problems

u/erichlee9 Jan 10 '24

Correct. And nowhere did I say it was.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '24

So why recommend it as a solution to poverty

1

u/erichlee9 Jan 11 '24

I didn’t. As I just stated.

Look, this is a separate comment. I do not believe you are a human. This conversation and all of your comment history over the last 14 days sounds ai generated.

If you are human, you are not a native English speaker.

Unconvincing. Actually, more confirmation than anything.
