I don’t know why you are getting down voted. It is a harsh reality that yeah cars suck, but if there is a near instant harsh transition away from cars that will directly harm the more susceptible groups like disabled, elderly, and very low income families far far worse than the people who are the actual problem. I feel for you and hope you do alright in this shitty future.

Right, like it is an extremely low stakes game that you are supposed to lose sometimes. It costs you nothing to lose, and people are still upset when the developers “Nerf a top tier gun into the ground” by making it sway .5 percent more and that makes the game unplayable.

I don’t know have you talked to a republican? They don’t really just change their mind.

What the fuck did Cuba do?

Forgive my confusion but could they not choose to lock out web traffic without a verification? Lets say your ISP joins and says that you need x bullshit token from the government to us it, then what?

I suppose thats the point of recommendations, they aren’t telling you you have to get into sports.

I don’t know but it sucks being here.

Are they? I want a good alternative but I worry that Deezer would just be Spotify in a couple of years.

I agree. I mean its a nice incentive to leave and find alternatives, it just sucks when yove used a service for decades and it turns to shit.

Thats all my family wants too. I could do without all social media and connectivity. Just let me and my wife have a little farm where we make bread and I make jewelry and we can trade eggs and produce for shoes and gloves. Im really not asking for much.

Yeah now it is yet another potential war with another country and aliens.

We teach them. That’s thengoal. You sought out to learn, sure, but you were able to find the resources to learn from. You had the means and the ability to. Im saying there are people out there who dont even know to look for a better option. They genuinely have no idea about food health, where to start, or where to buy the food. Food Deserts exist. If you have never shopped at a Piggly Wiggly in the middle of a shit state in this twisted country, then I dont think you understand what it really means to be impoverished.

I grew up poor, very poor, but my family had the intelligence, the know how, and the ability to make better choices. Some people really dont have that. Its up to us to teach our communities to be better, not scoff and say things like “those are choices I make.”

I think you misunderstand the general state of people suffering from the effects of companies forcing this upon us. For you and I it is as simple as look up a recipe and do it, some people truly do not know. They don’t know to look for something else. They dont know if something is unhealthy.

Again, I totally agree and think you’re right. I don’t want to sit back, but no one has a realistic answer. They have nice answers that they hope someone does, but we dont have a unified voice saying this is what we are doing.

I agree that a rotisserie is closer to fast food, but I was saying most low income people are lacking any food education to make a properly prepared chicken. Most low income prople who are suffering the effects of dollars a day making a difference also lack the education of the why, where, and how they can prepare equivalent priced meals that are better for them. To some this is all they know.

I also got a lesson in college, a privalidge that you and I were able to afford that some prople genuinely never got the opportunity, and those people are the ones truly suffering from the effect of “luxury” rotisseries.

That still sounds misleading. He was not speaking for 16 hours of use which is what the headline suggests. As other has stated, I hope those companies crumble but I think honesty is important, not sensationalization.

I think many people are aware of this, but what do you DO. There are laws and expectations of civilized society. On both sides. You become the first person to raise some form of resistance I highly doubt the majority will welcome you with open arms. No, likely you will be seen by everyone as a cult leader, an anarchist, or at best, someone who snapped and refused to follow the rules of society.

The real people who need to take action are elected officials. Mayors and governors need to stand up and say “my people will not be used for this, and you cannot force us.” The fact that yhese events that you are very aware of were able to happen were entirely due to the lack of responsible leadership, not that some people didnt grab their handgun and form a resistance group of 20 people to fight a fully armed surveillance police state.

I agree with you, its awful, I dont want to sit back and let things happen but what, realistically in modern society, do you do.

Exactly. Additionally a lot of low income families lack the knowledge of how to properly prepare a chicken, or the equipment to do it well. When the difference is 20¢ a pound for an already seasoned and prepared bird its not really luxury prices. Luxury is like some $50 chicken wrapped in gold bullshit topped with exotic flower pistols.

Right but the discussion isn’t if it is healthier, it is what is cheapest. If low income families lack the equipment or knowledge to cook a good tasting whole bird, rotisserie is a good priced option. The fact that the news outlet is calling that splurging is wild.

Its working exactly as intended.
