HARTFORD CT TEETERS ON THE EDGE OF BANKRUPTCY: “Hartford’s problems are deep-seated, from high taxes and exorbitant living costs to widespread unemployment and rampant poverty. About a third of the city’s residents live below the poverty line. Wallethub.com recently rated it the worst capital city in America.”
Sounds like a serious case of what Robert Heinlein would call “bad luck.”

"SOMEHOW, I THINK THIS ROBERT HEINLEIN QUOTE IS WORTH REPEATING ONE MORE TIME:
"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as “bad luck.”"
