Where do you live that it’s just a given that so many people are going to get arrested at a 3500 person concert? Must be quite the place...

Not to mention that plenty of states with trigger laws are seeking to make it illegal to go to another state to do it...

I’ve been there, and lower, and dug out. And years after I dug out finally started to not get turned down for every card application I put in. And unlike you, I’m not an insufferable ass to people who haven’t been able to get out of that situation, because I understand how hard it can be - and that some people are…

Wow you fixated on me, and just kept writing more, huh?

Pretty sure Rob doesn’t need you white knighting him so rabidly. Chill the fuck out.

My silence was actually me being laid up in bed, having come down with covid, but if your story is true I’m not too stubborn to admit I was wrong in my assumptions. I don’t understand your opinions on people getting credit cards, with how hard it would’ve have to have been to get your own non-secured, non-student…

Affluent enough. If you’ve managed to get regular credit cards, and have never had to get a secured one, you’re more well off than you assume. Hell, I was the kid of a dentist, and thanks to my fathers bankruptcy due to a business deal someone backed out of, I didn’t even get offered the student cards when I went to…

Given that his response to me was that he thinks every poor person is just poor because they made bad financial decisions, I think you’re giving him a bit too much credit.

Your utter lack of comprehension of what it’s like to be poor, and the causes of poverty, would be reason enough to drag you. Your flippant reaction to having your privilege pointed out just shows you deserve it all the more.

Congratulations on being affluent enough that you’ve never needed to apply for a secured card.

It’s not difficult to get sent an application, if you’re above a certain income threshold. Getting approved is notably harder, even for secured cards.

That doesn’t mean Rob can’t find the same cars.

In the outreach work I do, I’ve actually met several people who got denied secured cards.

Spoken like someone who’s never lived in poverty.

Mercedes Streeter, not Mercedes the car company.

No, they’re saying to get a credit card and use it for everything, because debit cards are irresponsible, and (judging by their response to me) only poors make bad financial decisions like that, because only bad financial decisions make you poor.

Given the difficulty of getting approved for credit cards, or the financial outlay required to get a secured credit card, versus just having a debit card attached to your existing bank account that requires no further validation or approval, I’d say the difference between them and you is your privilege. You should…

With as many interesting cars as Mercedes has been able to find on Craigslist each day, why are you bothering to post these shitboxes? $7500 for a bland, boring, floaty, slow, thirsty couch on wheels. Yay.

First, I’ll thank you not to misgender me in the future.

Alcohol gets you drunk. Nicotine provides no high, it’s JUST a habit forming poison, pushed by an industry that has spent billions of dollars over the years to suppress reports of how bad it is for you, manipulate society into consuming more of it, and research how to make it more addictive. I’m not excusing the…
