I used to get angry when I would hear people from Europe and Asia call out Americans as being lazy and stupid. Now I have to concede that a good many of our countrymen are exactly that!

“””Gee, wish da gubmint was giving me money so I could buy some overpriced basketball shoes.”””

Hey, these people are lucky. They get to “pursue their dream” of owning air jordans as they are not tied down to a job.
I too wish I got free gubmit money for doing absolutely nothing so I would have the time to stand in line for a pair of shoes.
These people on welfare are “poor” dontcha know.

Real ‘poor’ people stand in line all day for a bowl of rice.
Real ‘poor’ people wait a week for a malaria shot.
Real ‘poor’ people don’t have shoes at all.

These are overfed suburban kids that are “poor”. Their main concern is if the spot they are standing in has good wifi for their iPhone while they wait or who is making the next run to Starbucks.

How the hell is this still a thing?

Jordan must be pushing 60! Some of those guys were likely toddlers when he retired! But they want to wear shoes with his name on them?

That like me going out and buying a pair of Wilt Chamberlain shoes.

And that’s likely just the line to reserve a spot to get in line to go to the toilet.

Unemployed people waiting in line to buy shoes with welfare money. This is our America.

No one can fill Wilt’s shoes. Just ask those 10,000 women he supposedly bedded. Or was it 20,000?

Let me guess, the store accepts EBT cards. Don’t know too many people who can wait a week for a pair of basketball shoes.

“Unemployed people waiting in line to buy VERY EXPENSIVE shoes with welfare money. This is our America.”

Too true; the American Dream and exceptionalism are absolutely dead. Young people will never have the aspirations previous generations had; in fact, in my limited view of things, I doubt most of them will ever own a car, a home, or have a family.

The power of marketing.

If they had the exact same shoes, but they were called “Zips”, nobody would buy them.

I’m thinking that’s the line to the ladies’ bathroom - but no one’s told that guy he’s in the wrong line.

When they called him the "Stilt" it wasn't his feet they were referring to.

lol

When you are a drug gang banger with welfare payments coming to you and your dozen bastard kids, you can camp out for weeks for $400 shoes.
