I think it’s pretty common that systemic problems are painted as personal failures. Poor? Get on that grind. Fat? cAlOrIeS iN cAlOrIeS oUt. Medical debt? Go do a Kickstarter. Got depression? Have you tried sunshine? Got ADHD? Just make habits. Anxious? Meditate. Can’t find a job? Just walk into a place with your resume and a firm handshake and variations thereof. Etc etc.
It’s everywhere because people want to think the world is just and they deserve their successes. This is just the other side of the coin, that people must deserve the misfortunes that happen to them.
But also screw people that can’t show up on time habitually.
