You've got to do more than just forego that expensive avocado toast!

But if suggest rich people should be slightly less rich, they go into a frothing rage

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

frothing rage? foaming at the mouth?

[–] UnculturedSwine@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

It's like frothing but with a lisp

The price of cars is going up so what you should do is take the car you have and turn it into cash. Yeah, fucking great idea.

they must not be doing so well if they resort to ragebait

I mean, Bloomberg and The Economist are two of the most old rich white man places you can get your news.

Do NOT eat the rich, they are bad for your health 🤣

To be fair, I'd rather put my dog down than put it through chemo.

Humans can understand the agony is for a reason. Your pet can't. Don't keep your pets alive for yourself.

Also, is it really so shitty for a publication to provide tips on cutting costs when the economy is in the shitter? Im sure most news sites are barely hanging on by a thread, so it's not like they're benefiting from the economy being fucked.

fyi, chemo for pets is much milder than for humans

[–] PigsInClover@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

This. The primary goal of chemotherapy in pets is to minimize symptoms to improve their quality of life. It’s nowhere near the high dosage that humans undergo in order to completely eradicate their cancer.

My cat is technically on chemotherapy. She gets a pill 3 times a week and a blood test every 3 months to check that it isn’t causing issues with her bone marrow.

So far, no symptoms. Without it, she’d probably have died a year and a half ago. When I used to hear about a pet getting chemo, I had a mental image of a really sick pet, but it’s pretty much the opposite.

Yes, it is, and you’re a huge bootlicker for trying to side with fucking Bloomberg, of all sources.

Is Bloomberg spinning off an onion competitor?
