Nice job making yourself look stupid as hell. I actually left my hometown to get educated and see the world while you continued to live in some hodunk countryside while your company abuses your body for manual labor (he had a workplace injury). Is this what it’s like to be poorly educated? Living a shit life and just talking down others to reaffirm yourself?
