So, another symptom of poverty is a lack of education. Odds are a lot of these people aren't even aware of the issues that can come from feeding their children nothing but microwavables.

There's a similar issue with malnutrition in the US among rural families that feed themselves mostly off what they can get at dollar general.

Nah. I'm not trying to fit in, which you seem to have conveniently ignored.

I could be wrong, but the evidence points to inflation being a result of the working class having more spending power. It means that no matter what gains the working class makes, the ruling class will take them back with interest.

If you think this is incorrect, feel free to say why.

I stongly believe most criminals become violent because they don't care about the damage they cause others and only focus on what benefits themselves.

That's really fascinating, actually.

I'm always interested in seeing what damage the US military sustains in actual combat, considering how much money they spend on it.

It looks like the only damage being done to the US at all in this conflict is from friendly-fire.

before the invasion.

I swear, everytime you reply to me it's in bad faith.

You need to brush up on your reading comprehension and take a class on persuasive writing.

Hey.

Someone's getting rich off of all that tactical equipment.

Because they're not actually pulling too much from the grid to cause damage to others or even the grid itself.

Any musings about curtailing AI due to power consumption is just bullshit for clicks. We'll improve efficiency and increase productivity, but we won't reduce usage.

So... communism works?

Looks like the only people this upsets are wealthy Westerners and their useful idiots.

its a sure bet that those prices will go up once the local competition is wiped out.

This actually never happened. Walmart is still cheaper than any regular* grocery store, especially the co-ops.

*ALDI is cheaper because all of their products suck. Their produce sucks, their packaged goods suck, and their meats aren't actually cheaper. I think less of anyone who recommends ALDI and regret all the effort I put into giving it a chance.

In my experience, it's drunk drivers and gangbangers in cities that have killed my friends.
