And further, just because you find something to be harmful doesn't mean you have any motivation to replace or fix it. I don't like Facebook, but I certainly don't have any interest in writing my own open sourced Facebook.

Why do you think I was talking about people who are poor to the point that they are relying on public assistance? Did you gloss over the part where I said 'not saying it is doable for everyone'? You even quoted it. This thread was

I never said or implied that poor people are able to shop at Costco.
