And these necessities are very often procured from stores that pay their employees minimum wage, so it all comes back to what I was saying… But even for people who get paid way more than minimum wage, a significant proportion is living paycheque to paycheque or close to it.
Even when putting more money in the hands of people who make way more than what they need to afford the basics will result, in most cases, in them spending it instead of saving. You see it very clearly in regions that rely on industries like mine, people’s personal finances boom and burn… They have jobs making 150k/year and buy a big house, a truck, a quad, a snowmobile, a sports cars, motorcycles, name it, the second things slow down they can’t afford to make payments on any of that because they never saved a cent.
You know you’re allowed to block users instead of obsessing and stalking them…
Maybe you’re not happy that people are bringing attention to the genocide happening in Palestine but if that’s the case I would question your intentions, not the intentions of the person bringing attention to it.
OP had to pull their definition from a page that didn’t exist until after the October 7th attack in order to find a source that calls comparing State policies to another State’s policies racism.
Because it’s worth talking about
People are bad at saving money, increase minimum wage and they’ll just spend the extra, increasing companies revenues, allowing them to pay the higher minimum wage. In the end the employee is able to afford more stuff, the company doesn’t feel the impact, everyone is happy!
Sometimes context is important!
Or
Context is important sometimes! (If you want the point first)
It reminds me of that Black Mirror episode where people have memory chips to allow them to relive everything they’ve ever lived.
That preservation comes at a cost though, both monetary and environmental, and the amount of data to preserve increases exponentially.

Ok, clearly you’re just a troll, goodbye
A genocide is a genocide is a genocide.
No, it’s an illustration of the fact that Israel gets away with war crimes and a comparison to something that is of historical significance to Israelites to show the hypocrisy.
They (and you) don’t get to use the racism card to get out of being criticized or compared.

Edit: Funny how they never replied to that
Why does the State encourage people to settle on Palestinian territory then?
It’s not, if the state of Israel starts to displace people of a specific ethnic group to isolate them in order to more easily kill them isn’t it fair to make a comparison with any other group that did the same thing in the past?
Stop conflating the State and the people, that’s actually much more racist than criticizing the State because you’re basically saying that all Jews support what the State of Israel is doing.
Yeah and clearly you assume that people do the former when they’re doing the latter, like in the OP
I mean… The USA is far from democratic so it’s not as if it was a great example to follow?

A war to expand your territory is ok? So Palestinians attacking Israel to expand theirs should be ok to you too then.
If you look at my message I’m clearly painting a broad picture, “people are bad at saving money”, I never said it only applied to people with lower income. I’ve known of engineers making 300k/year panicking because 200$ were missing from their paycheque and they wouldn’t be able to make their payments… They just own a bigger house and a Porsche instead of renting an apartment and driving a Civic, in the end they have 0$ set aside and if their income goes up they just find more stuff to purchase…
