The part about Eric Saragoza (the guy who worked for Apple in Elk Grove 10 years ago) was interesting. He was at a level of education that could have given him opportunities to work his way into middle class maybe 20-30 years ago. But why did he have 5 children? This may seem harsh, but that seems like a foolish decision. Why would he decide to support 5 more people?
Well having children is just about the most fundamental thing we are driven to do besides keeping ourselves alive. Additionally he probably felt he had a good job with a good company and that things would work out.
