> Imagine it were actually possible for one person to own a machine that sucked up all the oxygen in our atmosphere, and that the air we need to breathe to live was then sold to us in cans of Perri-Air like in Spaceballs. I don't have to imagine anything because I live in area engulfed by smog every winter. I literally have to pay to breathe fresh air (from a filter). What's worse the ones responsible for this just want to not have to suffer the cold. It sucks, it truly does. > but it's a common occurrence to tell people going hungry that they should just get a job to buy food. Unrelated: how often do people actually go hungry in the US? I thought homelessness is a much more immediate problem when you're out of money.
