I live in the US and I'm older than you (I'd bet) and have far more experiences than you.

How many is "plenty of people" and what percent versus those of us who get results in minutes.

I am NOT the outlier. My stories are the stories of my neighbors and everyone I know. My stories are from what's in front of me and not random, anonymous internet posts.

Rich people have lots of experiences. They do not know what normal life is like.

I know entire neighborhoods where people won't even call the police because they either won't do anything anyway or they will harass and find a way to fuck over the person who called. I know how cops treat brown people versus whites. I know how they will treat you if you have money and I know how they will treat you if you don't.

The people who supposedly get results in minutes are the minority.

This is a meaningless statement. I can say the exact same thing.

You are the random internet post to everyone else but you, mate. Try not to be so solipsistic.
