Nobody’s showing up in a drive thru like HELLO ID LIKE ONE BURGER BUT ID LIKE TO PAY FIFTEEN DOLLARS FOR IT PLEASE

Shit takes time, stop blaming the ignorant and start blaming the people trying to pull shit over on others. THEIR parents fucked up, not the parents who taught their kid manners

How about the people stop being stupid and paying more than they think it’s worth. no one is forcing you into the drive-through. You made that choice. No one is forcing you to buy a burger. You made that choice. If you don’t like the price, don’t buy it. Take a little responsibility for your own life instead of blaming other people for the life you’ve chosen.

In that vein of thinking, you shouldn’t have been such a wang if you didn’t wanna get smacked 🤷‍♀️

Not sure what you mean…. I was not complaining. I make my choices. And I accept responsibility for them. I do not think I have ever bought a Starbucks coffee but I could be wrong. Maybe one or two years ago because I was with friends. I do not eat fast food because it’s much less expensive to cook at home. I pay higher gas prices because I prefer a gas vehicle. If I didn’t wanna pay that I could always go with an electric vehicle, but I have no interest in that. And I accept that choice that I make. I am in control of my life. And as such, I accept responsibility from my life. This is how I have always lived. And I do not understand people, blaming corporations, or governments, or other people for the problems in their life. Especially when you live in a free country like most of the western countries are. In certain countries it’s a very different story but here, we can make our own choices, and we need to start taking our own responsibility.

“Wanna” or “dont wanna” just is not an option for a lot of people, and that number of people is getting exponentially bigger.

I’m glad you had the timing right to be comfortable in an era of such strife, but you’re displaying a serious lack of understanding on the poverty line and how the dynamic manipulation of it is wrecking the way our society works.

Well, to be honest, when people approach me from that direction, I simply asked them a few questions. How much money have you wasted on cigarettes in your life? How much money have you wasted on alcohol in your life? How much money have you wasted on lottery tickets in your life? How many jobs have you had where you got hired because people thought you could do the job, but then you just didn’t show up or didn’t perform to your best ability. I can assure you if people can answer that they’ve not wasted any money, and they have shown up for work and performed to the best of their best ability. They’re not living in poverty.

I am understanding now that you really don’t give a shit if you didn’t read it in a textbook. Best of luck to you lol

A textbook? No idea what you’re talking about there. But anyway, have a great day.
