The new generation of "clean your plate, there's starving children in Africa."
Saying "don't complain because someone else has it worse" is the worst form of bad faith, uneducated argument. You're the problem.

You should consider going back to college. Or just going to college. Or just reading a single book.
the far left liberals who froth at the mouth at the mere mention of his name
You mean the people who fear living in a theocratic dictatorship roughly twelve months from now? Yes, god forbid we're a little upset at the idea.
It's a reference to the fact that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed into a different form.
"The way I interpret this comment is" if this is all there is to it, then we should all be the same weight all the time, apparently.
It's amazing what people think they can "interpret" about another whole entire anonymous human being they know literally nothing about, other than "thin."
These comments are totally proving the OC's point though.
Thank you. There's apparently been a fine line between promoting body acceptance and shitting on thin body types. Some people seem to think it's not even a natural body type at all and anyone who's thin is just anorexic. It's like we've been completely left out of the equation unless we're being looked down on. Yeah, I'm right there with you on this.
There's a whole bunch of comments explaining how low-income people aren't able to do those things either, especially banking, and how that adds to the cycle of poverty. For anyone actually interested in an answer about what life is like for impoverished working people in the US, I would recommend reading Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich and Evicted by Matthew Desmond. The level of poverty that exists in America generally is, and should be, shocking to the average American. I really hope the Amish comment is a joke because it's so so incredibly wrong.
It was almost $40 just to renew my DL in my county. I swear it wasn't as much in the last county I lived in, but it was just insane.
There's usually discount programs for low-income folks, but the interesting part is needing proof of being low-income. Sometimes homeless shelters will transport people and help them fill out the paperwork and they have vouchers for the fee.
It's crazy that all of that is needed when every data broker and arm of the government knows what you had for breakfast yesterday, but you still have to jump through this many hoops yourself to get something with your name on it.
That still won't matter as long as conservatives constantly have a majority in congress
It sounds ridiculous because they're hitting on good critiques of capitailsm, but using the language of capitalism itself.
I think there was someone who wrote a book like this, circa 1865
If people keep running away to a handful of “nice” states
I feel like it's only people who don't actually live in these places or, if they do, aren't the current targets of christian fascist terrorism (yet) who actually say insensitive, tone deaf, privileged shit like this.
When your actual safety is under threat because of the majority ideology where you live, you gtfo. If you look at history (which is all real stuff that actually happened..) the academics were always right after the LGBTQ community. Then writers and artists and musicians. Look at Germany and the multiple South American countries the US helped to destroy.
Stupid companies not looking at what they’re investing in
I bet there's some assistant out there working under some Netflix production exec going I fucking knew it
If it's at all profitable it will end up being companies making up a bunch of new personas eventually. That might be good in that it's more jobs per "influencer," but also maybe lower paying.
Although I'm pretty sure this already happened with fake Instagram models and I don't think it ever really went anywhere. It was just a novel thing for awhile.
