I'm glad that I was gifted with the ability to not give much of a poo poo if I need to struggle a little bit to live in this world from birth. It must suck to want an OK life.

Food is cheap as gently caress you idiots stop going to trader joes or wholefoods or big market chains or whatever price gouging crapoli you shop at and visit a farmers market or growop. Also loving lol if you dont think food is comparatively cheap in america vs anywhere in europe. Short of 3rd world countries america has the cheapest goddamn food.

hey welcome to the show! posted:I'm technically on the fringes of being poor. I make 21000 a year pay 900 a month in rent work 48 hors a week and have no debt because I didn't go to collage. I also have an OK savings just in case. The global median salary is somewhere around $1500 per year, so you are rich as gently caress. To be the top 1% you only need to make $34,000.

SpaceClown posted:Where in the gently caress can you buy 4 cans of coke for one dollar, let alone 1200 calories worth of chips? I'm a thrifty shopper. The Super Big Gulp at 7/11 has refills for 99 cents, and is 44oz. A normal can of Coke is 12oz. This means I get roughly 7.4 "cans" of Coke for each of the two dollars I spend. Edit: gently caress I misread your numbers. That's not cheaper than 4 for a dollar. Yeah that's pretty nuts.

The real question is: How many calories a serving of a "rich" is and will Americans keep getting more and more obese if they start eating them?

I mean everyone in America is obese in varying states of morbidity, so I assume one American rich can probably sustain a third world country for at least a week

I wasn't thinking tap water. There are plenty of places where you can fill those giant water cooler jugs for a few dollars and if you REALLY wanted to there are plenty of places you can get it free. Community colleges, etc. E: Yeah it's like a dollar for 5 gallons. Compare to the $2 for 1 gallon. Water is at the least 10x cheaper than soda even if you don't have running water/non-potable running water. SpaceClown fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Mar 27, 2017 |

Just being in a first world country means you are part of the wealthy elite from a global perspective. You benefit from a ton of poo poo that you take for granted. You have clean, drinkable water. You have sewage systems. You have police and army to protect you and you family. Paved roads, education, Internet, etc

guys its totally a good economy, capitalism is working fine and here's my *example that shows the only way to survive on the amount of money poor people have is to drink the diabetes drink mixed with a jug of olive oil and then complain and try to kill funding for their insurance when they get depressed and the diabetus* also before you cut medicaid make fun of them for their diet that you did google math to encourage them to live on lol
