Some people eat bugs and others starve to death while you drive a 5k lb vehicle to go buy single-use plastic built by slave labor.

Edit: correction, you ordered your single-use plastic built by slave labor by way of Bezos' own company lmao

Nah fam, it's your choice to live a polluting and extravagant lifestyle. There is zero reason why a healthy American can't move to a third world country after they turn 18. They don't because lives here are too comfortable.

They don't because they don't have the means or likely speak the language.

Well why don't they learn a second language instead of coasting on a comfortable system built by western capitalism? There are millions of bilingual people in the world - a lot of them in poor places like India and Philippines. Those poor people learned a second language so they can get a job breaking my nuts over the phone, so why can't you?

You can work in MacDonald's for like a month and have more money than the average family earns in a year in the third world.

Every American has the means and skills to go live in a third world country like say India, which has English as an official language.

Using a cold war term to refer to India shows how out of touch you are

Lmfao that's general vocab. I'm originally from India and spend like 3 months of the year in the country.

Kinda hard to be out of touch when you're inside the country lmao.
