I think the whole “bad food is cheap” thing is one of the reasons Americans are so overweight. Ever see a coupon for fresh fruits and veggies? Me neither. But I can easily find coupons for mayonnaise, frozen TV dinners, and Lays potato chips.

Because we should be having babies instead of periods? #sarcasm

I’ve never understood why basic sanitary supplies designed to keep us from bleeding all over everything would still be considered luxury or non-essential.

I share articles like this with Mr Safety. He does not see the advantage of buying non-perishables on sale or in bulk (and on sale). He only looks at the immediate cost. I’ve no idea what happened to him as a child as he comes from an upper class family. I, however, came from a very poor family so articles like this…

And those are subject to sales tax (usually as a luxury or non-essential item) in most US states...

The banking travesty is absolutely ridiculous. I cannot figure out why it’s legal for banks to charge the insane fees that they do on trivial actions. Due to a keying error by BofA, they overdrafted my account by 63 cents.... and charged me $35 to be overdrawn. So like, 5,555% of the overdraft. But since I’m a…

And lets not forget the high cost of tampons/pads, menstrual cups, etc...

This breezes right past some of the larger problems, like owning an older car which has a greater need for repairs, living in a poorer neighborhood where there are only small, more-expensive markets, buying clothes that are less durable. Nutrition also suffers because there are fewer choices and less “healthy” food…

As always, Marx was correct. Capitalism feeds off the least vulnerable in favor of the bourgeoisie.

The way this all blew up in Duncan Hunter’s face is absolutely delicious.

And yet somehow you’re the asshole if you so much as ask others to consider the idea of privilege.

Hook up/party culture and sexual promiscuity are the shit head dog whistle for “she was a slut and she wanted it. I didn’t do anything wrong.”

He’s sick and absolutely will re-offend. He’s exactly the kind of person prisons were built for.

I’ve been shattered by the party culture and risk taking behavior that I briefly experienced in my four months at school.

Wake me up when someone wants to actually do something about the fact that this world is run by entitled white men, and all of the rest of us solely exist to make it as palatable for them as possible.

2016 America: Where a 12-year old boy is shot and killed by the police for playing with a toy and it’s his fault because he should have “known” that people would see him as a threat, while a full-grown adult who rapes an unconscious woman and tries to flee should only have to endure a couple months of jail because…

This. Except technically he was no longer a private person once he was indicted. Trials and criminal proceedings are matters of public concern.

“According to the spokesperson, the removal may have stemmed from confusion over Turner’s public versus private status: he was initially classed as a private individual, but the uproar over his recent sentencing has drawn him into the public sphere.”

Yeah, racial issues wouldn’t exist if those who are negatively affected by white supremacy would just shut up about it, right? And to compare what kinds of racist, misogynistic, and homophobic things FB regularly tolerates to their deleting a true statement about an actual convicted rapist is just sooo inappropriate,…

Your “well actually” misses the forest for the trees, or at the very least, the distinction between Robert E. Lee the person and the Cult of General Lee.
