yeah sure poor people who are also bad with money exist but it’s still not an excuse to justify not paying your employees a livable wage.

like mr. billionaire with the 8th yacht this week is going to preach to poor people buying a new couch they probably didn’t need but wanted because their kids fucked up the other one.

fuck off.

poor person: i got new clothes for work because i’m expected to look good for work and now i’m kinda worried about if i’ll be able to pay some bills this month. oof.

rich person with an eight-thousand-dollar suit who drives a tesla: you should spend your money less frivolously.

poor person: i took my kid out to a restaurant for their birthday and now i’m having trouble paying for gas.

rich person who underpays said poor person: you know you can save hundreds of dollars just by not buying all your coffee at cafes.

poor person: i genuinely don’t know what planet you live on but i do not buy coffee at a cafe.

rich person: why does no one appreciate my great financial advice?

poor person: finally got a food card because i’ve been struggling to afford food

rich person who knows full well all jobs require you have a phone: just sell your phone. you know … something that will get you money once and then you’ll never be able to replace it… effectively losing yourself money.

poor person: hey, quick question, but do you ever listen to yourself talk? like do you ever really think about what you’re saying? just wondering.

i also just wanna say … poor people will always have more reason to spend their money on things that are socially considered frivolous compared to the wealthy.

rich people don’t need a 7th yacht to make themselves happy but like … a poor person struggling under crushing poverty buying something that makes them happy is always a more justifiable expense.

why are we pretending rich people need 90% of the shit they waste their money on and instead focusing in on poor people in rare instances of buying expensive things for themselves.

Incidentally, I have hyperacusis and get awful migraines from pain calls.

Current section 508 standards don’t require accessible alternatives, because in theory, relay services and caption phones exist. But to keep people from “abusing” relay services and captioning services, congress requires registration, and the fcc imposes an extra crip tax on caption phones. Now to get through registration we just need to use the phone, and convince the bureaucracy that we cannot use the phone and for the right reasons…

If we can’t use the phone, we’re out of luck. If we can’t use the phone for the wrong reason, then we’re out of luck twice over.

So the phone requirements fuck over poor people, and some disabled people, and some poor disabled people twice over.

Clean water, clean air, access to nutritious food, etc; access based on zip code. A well known case of environmental racism is the Flint water crisis. Less effort goes into neighborhoods for poc and tending to them
