Poor people


Now with the dollar value so high in the domes and it's so expensive to be small how are there poor people in the movie?

Because the progressives who made it want you to feel bad about having anything.

They seem to be people who have fallen through the cracks for one reason or another. There doesn't seem to be any system in place for social services, or even healthcare insurance. Everyone that goes in is completely reliant on their savings. In the case of the dissident, she was already small (as a punishment apparently) and needed medical help. Once she got it there was no money and she had nowhere to go. The lady she was looking after came in with her husband whose head exploded (they didn't remove a gold tooth) who I assume had all the money, and it went elsewhere in his death, so she had nothing.

I find it hard to believe that there are so many people with such unfortunate circumstances, but it's also pointed out that the other residents aren't interested in helping them out.
