Wasn ' t Snape Literally a martyr though ? <| sep |> If I ever do get a tank I ' m thinking about getting oscars . Used to have friends that had them . Man they got sooo big and we ' re really cool . How long have you had fish for ? <| sep |># collegestudentA Also I don ' t use my phone enough to necessitate upgrading it . At least for now . C Perhaps if we need to eventually , but for now it does it ' s job being a mobile phone . Shame we can ' t play pokemon go though . <| sep |> I just got a simple mod to craft a portable sleeping bag . Worked well enough for what I needed . <| sep |> Trust mrpooopybuttwhole to clean it all up for us . <| sep |> Not privileged by any means . I grew up in at least the bottom 75 % of the entire country . Household income of 40 k . You ' re right , I don ' t know what the absolute worst case scenario is like , but I ' ve personally worked with many people in those situations , and they have dealt with it and found a way . Not to mention my exact point was that only a small minority of people are in such terrible positions , so why create a system at the expense of the many , for the very very few ? As for commuting . most people with these problems live in urban areas where public transportation is easily available , and cheap . There are lots of jobs in cities , and typically higher paying ones due to the higher cost of living . And for these people in the absolute worst case scenario , they are eligible for things such as housing assistance , food stamps , etc . It ' s funny that you cite something from Illinois and mention that I don ' t know anything about poor areas , but I ' m actually from Chicago , and worked with people who live in places like Englewood , or Austin , so yes , I know their struggles from discussions I ' ve had with them . Some made poor decisions and are stuck , and others seriously have a bright future ahead of them . One of the people I worked with actually got up and moved to California . They made minimum wage , but in the age of the internet you can apply for jobs online , or transfer to a new location within the company you are currently working with , then search for jobs once you move . This guy packed some bags of his cloths , found a roommate with a place already online , and left . Only cost him some time searching and a greyhound bus across the country . Very poor areas like Englewood , Chicago , don ' t have a lot of places to shop at , That is true . Sadly , it would be a financial loss to most big name businesses to set up shop there . Their operating costs are just too high , and the communities are too poor to provide enough sales for them . That ' s why they don ' t go in there . But the businesses that are there , it ' s not like they are charging 23 times as much for their goods than any other places . They wouldn ' t sell anything if they did . You make it seem like businesses in these areas , on the whole , are just siphoning every dime from these people . They aren ' t .
