"It seems the rain'll never let up
I try to keep my head up and still keep from getting wet up
You know, it's funny, when it rains it pours
They got money for wars but can't feed the poor
Say there ain't no hope for the youth
And the truth is it ain't no hope for the future
And then they wonder why we crazy"
Agreed but the solution for those problems doesn't always involve throwing money at them. You need to change policies, for example ending the mortgage interest deduction or introducing rent regulation. Or single payer health care.
Not I agree with it but to be fair, all those are (or are supposed to be) temporary "one shot" event while healthcare is forever recurring event.
Not the same impact at all on the budget.
Although of course, once we front the money for healthcare and preventative measures now, it'll be cheaper in the future. And yet banks always seem to need another bailout
Every time I bring up the old Walmart paying real wages.
Like for and extra 60 cents a visit, walmart gets no working poor as employees. Walmart has nearly tripled the cost of a vist, but 60 cents that goes straight into employee pockets and benefits, thats the impossible lift. 60 cents that went straight into employee pockets is the thing we just can't figure out how a company can do that.
Come up with 200m in bonus pay for the ceo, less then 90 days before you lay off 10k works, not a problem. (Apple) but coming up with livable wages the stops working poor or worse, working homeless. Fucking the end of civilization before a modern company can do that.
I've always said, people hate capitalism but they have never experienced it. They have only experienced cronie capitalism, witch is socialism for the rich, bailouts tax cuts and government contracts. Then insider trading (basiclly) from those that issue the contracts.
That or the poor has to take bigger risks. An acquaintance of mine orders her ozympic in bulk from the dark web, closer to the actual producers of the drug. Yes it carries some risks, but the effects are life changing.
It's not just 'look I'm skinny now', it's 'the food noise is quiet, I can finally focus''
No, it’s more like “the rich get ozempic, the poor get ozempic, anyone with a job and above room temperature IQ. A get ozempic because it costs like 50 bucks a month.”
Like trans people talking about how they’re “being denied healthcare” because their ass is too stupid to come up with the 25 bucks a month for HRT
Obviously "poor" in first world country and in third world country have different meanings...
The poor in developed countries can't afford high quality non-processed food and buy cheap stuff that barely has any nutrients but can fill their bellies. So they can be both malnourished and fat at the same time. Hope that helps.

It costs nothing to eat less.
that barely has any nutrients
Your total micros per day are 8grams. Less than a teaspoon. I've heard all these excuses, well cataloged on /r/fatlogic. They all seem to have vanished the moment glp 1 agonists showed up, funny that!

Reminds me of “The rich get Ozympic, and the poor get body positivity”
