Just like how soulless big banks make $30 Billion from overdraft fees
How exactly are the poor people with no money supposed to pay????

Do these poor people have iphones with expensive smartphone plans?

Netflix?

Disney +?

Do they eat out often?

My cousin was paying overdraft fees every single month.

I looked through her account and she had monthly payments going out to charity which if she stopped would keep her just in the black.

She told me she couldn't stop them because she feels privileged and when she thinks about all the poor struggling people it makes her feel too guilty.

I told her she is one of those poor people and always will be until she starts saving.

She still refused. She still goes into the red every month and has no savings.

She's a teacher.

This is why you don't give women the right to vote.

Stupidity isn't limited to one gender. In fact, when you look at IQ chart, while there's more really smart guy then there are really smart women, there's also more really stupid guy then there are really stupid girl.

Accept most woke bros are doing exactly the same thing then crying about capitalism keeping them down.

Not a math teacher, I hope.

I get your point that poor financial control is often an issue with poor people, but Netflix and Disney+ are pretty frugal expenditures. Lots of entertainment value for a relatively low cost that can be split among multiple people. People who still use cable instead of streaming services is a better example imo.

No, probably not. If they do, they're not the people we're talking about.

They are exactly the type of the people we're talking about. People in poverty tend to stay there because of poor decisions. Go look at Reddit, the queers screaming that capitalism has failed since they're poor are wasting their money on funko pops and video games. Late Stage Capitalism isn't capitalism proving it has failed, it's lazy mother fuckers wasting their money on stupid shit and saying it has failed since they have no self control nor determination to improve their situation.

I don't know, all of the larger businesses monopolozing and making conditions on small businesses extremely difficult or impossible to keep up with doesn't help. There are small businesses that don't want to stoop to the big companies' abysmal business practices, or can't afford the level of inventory to ģet discounts to the same degree. They're being wiped out because most consumers have to go for the cheaper services/products, and outside of ethics or potentially quality-- why wouldn't they?

People on reddit aren't fully human though. Okay, maybe a slight exaggeration. There are probably a percentage of legitimately functional humans on reddit, but they wouldn't be one of the lazy mother fuckers doing the above.

What you describe in your above comment is what I'd consider a type of human bot, which appears human, but is being operated by an outside force. That's why their behavior seems so inexplicable.
