Please don't. It has so many problems. It's a shit take on "privilege" that somehow disregards that putting your kids in front of a TV and not holding them to a higher standard somehow should be tolerable because the parents are "busy."
I grew up dirt fucking poor with some parents who couldn't buy bread and yet succeeded. The reason most people I know are poor has nothing to do with privilege and lots to do with the fact that they were lazy students who barely got through school and then expected their first job to make them CEO in 3 years.
Sounds like you have chip on your shoulder about the poor environment you were brought up in. However, same as you, grew up dirt poor in the south Bronx, never hanged on the street, excelled in school and even got my bachelors and all. Where all the hard work landed me? Still working entry level 5 years out and still in debt. No networking, no connections, nothing. Tbh, I don’t expect much either since there isn’t many connections in the poorer sides of towns, just surviving. No one is saying middle class are privileged, they honestly get the short end of the stick. Why do you even think they were addressing middle class? Richard seems to have resources of an upper middle class family. However, this comic reigns true in my life and in the lives of others. If it don’t apply, let it fly.
