Man, you need to adjust your privileged-lifestyle viewpoint.
Ever try to buy groceries without a car? How much time would you add to your day if you had to take the bus from work to the supermarket, and then the bus back to your house. A 15 minute 2 stop car trip becomes an hour+ with all the waiting, shuffling to and from the bus stop, etc.
Also, ever notice how those big supermarkets with the cheap prices aren't really present in poor neighbourhoods? All you can find are cheap bodegas and convenience stores in those neighbourhoods.
Finally, a lot of poor people have 2 jobs or try to get as much overtime as they can to supplement their income, so 'We all work the same hours.' is a bit of a fallacy.
- marrs 13y agoYeah, I've tried to do all those things. And no, I haven't noticed that I can't go to town and by fresh fruit and veg from the market or supermarket for less than a 4-pack. Finally, a lot of poor people have 2 jobs or try to get as much overtime as they can to supplement their income, so 'We all work the same hours.' is a bit of a fallacy. Yeah, whatever. Plenty of my friends seem to manage just fine. I managed just fine back in the day.
