The alternative is thinking food is more important than working toward securing a house that you own, or paying off your student loans, or retraining yourself so you don’t go broke, or any number of other things. Food is cool but it’s just not all that.
You could replace that with “evil old people” and it would be mostly correct.
My kind of people. “We see food as necessary but not really a key part of enjoying life”
Everyone will die so you can stop hoping. Also ew.
The wealthy will remain the wealthy one way or the other. The only difference is whether they imagine themselves as becoming poorer or if they imagine themselves as being high status.
Either way it will be the same people. The question is whether you can manufacture consent.
Their main skill is figuring out who to blame for things that go wrong.
For a “once in decades” event you would normally expect that people aren’t really on call to respond in a few minutes.

People are still using Protonmail when there’s Fastmail?
Great, no more MAGA at Costco, now I can know everyone there is a liberal hottie.

Please use this opportunity to rename it to Dildo as well, thank you.
Honestly, we can cancel them ourselves. Who’s going to stop us?
Cool, we cancel his
Yeah so basically what you’re saying is that poverty compounds which I agree with but in that case it’s not just $800 that sits between you and insulin, it’s a whole life filled with financial woes. Losing your house is a far worse situation than not being able to get $800. So let’s not pretend it’s $800 that killed someone.
Well typically it’s said “contracting out” when they mean making contracts
I’m aware of the point. I just can’t believe someone died because they didn’t have a credit card. Or something else equally baffling
I’m a person who knows cost benefit analysis. When death is on the table, who chooses death over paying some interest?
The thing is, I just don’t enjoy food that much. It’s not that enjoyable most of the time. If you’re eating the way your doctor wants you to it’s going to be unpleasant. It’s better to just treat it as a slog that it is instead of using it as an escape. Imo.
