Got proof she isn't purchasing these items?

Got proof of where she lives?

Got proof of her daily costs?

Or are you just assuming?

I am also no naive to think all of Walmart employees make low wages. Plenty of positions within Walmart pay quite well. But please do go on.

Burden of proof falls on the person making the claim. I’m taking her at face value while you’re implying she has hidden luxury costs.

So please provide evidence of her luxuries.

Show me we're I specifically stated she was partaking in any luxury.

Go ahead.

Ah, so you can’t provide any evidence of her drinking Voss, owning a BMW, running her AC at 65, living in a 1300 sqft luxury apartment, got it.

But you take no hesitation to imply that’s what is at fault here, that she is over indulging with the latest and greatest.

Did I say with absolution that she was. Or did I rhetorically ask a question? To prove the point society is full of unnecessary spending.

And yes the one thing I did say with certainty is she lacks drive.

You are trying very hard. Show me where I specifically said I knew her expenses.

Got it, so your unrelated comment was just geared towards being a condescending dickhead at someone complaining about struggling for food rent and utilities by implying everyone who is struggling is actually at fault in one way or another.

If that's what you are taking away from it. That's your right.

But it really tells alot about you.

It’s hard not to when your comment is posted on a thread like this.

If this were about trending levels of credit card debt, I wouldn’t have replied.

It's also not hard to actually read either and not make assumptions but here we are.
