Wait till life gives you a real kick in the teeth and knocks that “Can Do Attitudeâ€￾ for a loop and you find yourself sitting on you a-z-z, then and only then come back and post your “tis lifeâ€￾ remarks. People of power took advantage of a bad situation stepping all over real people without apologies and along the way made sure they personally benefited mightily.

So what your saying is that you shouldn't try to "disarm" these people of power and instead cry about the bullies? Are you familiar with one Martin Luther King?
Your belief that everyone just needs to suck it up and move on and not whine is not a thought process of clarity, it’s from someone either young and still sheltered from life’s true woes, or one born of privilege who will never have to know real woes.

You are forgetting the people who make up the third and largest group - those who overcame their disadvantage and succeeded in spite of it. Those are the people you should look to as examples.

A few very corrupt greedy immoral depraved individuals sought personal gain causing many people misery, and did it without remorse with their seared conscience, and to add salt to the wounds by making followers out of people like yourself who go around preaching personal responsibility to the downtrodden.

Those people do not deserve one minute wasted dwelling on their deeds.
