So did she start scrubbing her social media profiles after people started checking and saw pictures of her enormous apartment full of expensive cooking gagdets and fancy chef knives, reams of photos of expensive/non-rice based meals she talked about eating, and photos of her getting premium bourbon delivered to her job and talking about drinking it?

Because every article that pops up about this is only mentioning her pay, $1200 apartment, and that she was fired in the tone of "is that really fair?" I think if you based an entire rant on not being able to afford food and having to borrow $6 from a CVS clerk but your instagram is replete with fancy food dishes and photos of you making artisnal cupcakes then its 100% relevant to the conversation.

Only if we actually give a gently caress about this actual person. We shouldn't beyond the basic concern we should share for all other people.

I think her particular purchasing habits are irrelevant to the conversation unless the conversation is about subjecting a dummy to shame for being dumb or maybe lying.

I mean, her basic point, peppered with non sequiturs and lovely writing, is that it's hard to live with dignity on the kind of wage an entry-level service worker can earn. Whether she's in that situation is kind of irrelevant. What some of us seem to be doing is the same old tired Olaudah Equiano debate about whether this instance of legitimate grievances are fictional, instead of about the grievances the work of (possible) fiction depicts.

I guess it does matter if you're considering giving her money. You shouldn't give her money unless you think the problem is that enough real people working for lovely wages don't have kickstarters to pay their rent. Then you're just wrong, but go hog wild if you believe her I guess.

The articles on this are a pretty good example of how the media can push a narrative by not telling the whole story and yet not really lying.

More like it's a valid point completely in spite of this individual that is not representative of the people that actually need help. And she has attached herself to this truth like politicians do to garner attention.

so I shouldn't believe the anecdotal and possibly fictional bullshit stories that conservatives tell about welfare abuse or lazy union workers, but I should believe the anecdotal and possibly fictional bullshit story about the desperation of minimum wage and urban poverty. am I getting this right?

Also, did she really just randomly e-mail her company's CEO and make a shitload of random suggestions, including complaining about how stupid coconut water is? I mean yeah, coconut water is pretty dumb but if I'm a low-level employee for a large company I wouldn't be dumb enough to e-mail my CEO and go, "Hey dumbass this product we sell sucks, get rid of it."

Probably thought the CEO would promote her to the social media department as soon as her saw her email and realized that any girl brave enough to email the CEO was the type of girl he wanted on his team!

You honestly think someone with zero experience and no real in-demand skills, should be able to take an entry level job and live comfortably alone in one of the most expensive places on the planet because she thinks the company is cool and will hopefully be able to move up (in 6 months?) into her dream job?

That's not what I said.

It's possibly true that this girl is a liar AND she's making good point(s) about social issues.

It's also possibly true that that email forward from your uncle is a lie AND it makes good points about personal responsibility or whatever.

My point is that none of the storytellers loving matter and you should no more track down [Stereotypical minority name], the welfare queen, from your uncle's email to confirm the facts than you should this person, because the actual veracity of the story is irrelevant.

No, you should believe the hard data and math which shows that $8 an hour is absolutely not sufficient to live with any reasonable standard of human dignity in most of the US. Especially if one's idea of living with human dignity includes being able to maintain a basic emergency fund, or pursue the sort of education which most middle-class careers demand.
