What this shows is that advertising works - these people have been sold, all of us have, on buying crap they don’t need and that has helped to impoverish them.

I mean, if you are poor, who needs a refrigerator for Pete’s sake! Or a washer and dryer?! Pay the long term costs of going outside.

Too...

TV’s use so much electricity, sell it to your rich neighbor.

Cell phone’s - you’ll never get a second job and no one will rob you walking too and from your flipper job, so why own one?

Poor people should stick with steak and fresh squeezed juice so they don’t get fat like cheap pop and cheaper fatty foods do.

All those unemployed for the last 4 years...what losers in their nice houses. They should build a manufacturing plant and work there like the rest of uh...

To: If You Want It Fixed - Fix It

I was ridiculed for getting a “dumb” flip phone, refurbished one at least six years old.
Advantages:
* Free
* No one is going to steal it
* Can’t get infected with software that monitors my every call
* I don’t care if my young son accidentally breaks this one

Disadvantages:
When the DSL connection for our town was ruined by a flooding water main, the bank couldn’t figure out what to tell me when I couldn’t access their site online OR download their smart app. Fortunately, they found a manager to help me.
