    This reads like she was living outside of her means and recently was forced to return to her financial reality, and is framing it as a choice she made lol

    Nice. I’ve been planning for an extended period of being homeless, starving, and working on my interpersonal skills by relying on strangers for basic needs.

    Oh, wait, not planning, I meant bracing. Silly me.

    No one should have this privilege to begin with. Society should work to create a livable experience for everyone instead of constantly making comfort and stability an exclusive club.

      For much of history, comfort and stability wasn’t available to anyone, at least a large portion of society today in developed counties could claim that (anything lower middle class and up).

      Things could certainly be better, I’m just pointing out that things are a lot better than many doomers claim. This lady is certainly super entitled, but the fact that the average person can afford to fly across the world is pretty awesome.

        The rich are constantly clawing more of that comfort away from the “more fortunate” middle class you speak of as well as the poor just to add to a score card. Every step of improvement is against their lust for all to be their slaves in one way or another. The more complacent and content people are with their gains, the more the powerful will take. The doomers as you call them understand that all gains are tenuous. The rich are parasites.

    “Rich person that has everything the working class suffers to obtain, culturally appropriates the experiences of the working class to benefit themselves.”

    Rich people will steal anything.

      I especially like that they claim electronics burst into flames if they’re not grounded, because the electrons have nowhere to go.

      Which, let’s ignore the complete misunderstanding of how electricity works for a moment, but if they truly believe the ground pin does something functionally, how do they ignore all the shit that only has a two prong plug?

        This is in addition. Like if you are at home or a hotel and want to be “grounded”

        Also, they have grounding shoes! Which are shows with a few small metal rods going through the bottom, so that when you wear them you are still electrically connected to the ground (which means they assume you don’t wear socks???)

    “whisper networks of power players” doesn’t set any alarm bells off for you? When you see something like that happening, you don’t think, even for one second, “everyone in this room should become a fine pink mist very quickly.” You don’t think that?? You just go along with it and try to get some power for yourself?

    PATHETIC

          “For fun” as in “for travel” or “for visiting people” which is fun. As in the whole “business or pleasure?” type thing people get asked when flying, I think the majority of folks in economy (and maybe all flight) are travelling for pleasure.

          As unpleasurable as flight is, it’s typically the best and cheapest option unless not going far or you’re lucky enough to have nice rail options. So it’s still “more fun” than the alternative which might mean extra days of travel time which may even include you actively having to drive.
