"Pour eux, la pauvreté est la tradition familiale"
— JD Vance

Simplified Meaning:
Some families stay poor from one generation to the next, just like passing down stories or recipes. This can happen because of lack of access to good education, jobs, or opportunities. Imagine a family where the parents struggle to find work, so their children do too, because they can't afford to go to school or learn new skills. Over time, this becomes almost like a cycle or a habit that’s hard to break. People born into such situations might find it tough to imagine life any differently, and without external help or a big push, they might live in poverty just like their parents did. Breaking this cycle can be very hard, but understanding it is the first step toward change.
