Lol I was thinking of that as well. Exactly. If you can’t rise yourself to the level of shoe throwing at the bare minimum, wtf are you even doing?

In Europe they would have thrown shoes at him. You can go through all the metal detectors in the world, but you’ll still have 2 shoes. Just sayin.

Exactly my point. You’re acting like I’m already eating luxury foods and not only what I can afford. Telling people who are already struggling “hey, rice and beans are cheap!” is the most overdone advice and shows how oblivious you are to the actual issue. You think I’m over here eating steak every night and complaining it’s expensive? Hell no. I’m eating cheap shit and barely affording that.

You have very strong “avocado toast” vibes fyi. You seem to think that the problem is what we’re eating as if we have enough money to be buying luxury foods in the first place. I’m already eating the cheapest, calorie dense food I can. If I could eat a nutrient paste gruel every day with 100% nutrients that was dirt cheap, I would.

My point that even if you had all the supporters you needed right now, the current plan is basically “let’s crash the economy” with no forethought on what happens next. How do you crash the economy AND prevent new monopolies from forming in the wake AND not starve half the population to death in the process? No one ever addresses the second part, which is why this is exactly like the screen cap.

Ummm we did? My pixel 9 pro is noticably smaller than my pixel 6 pro, much to my delight. Maybe stop buying the XL tablet phones and you’ll find they’re actually a reasonable size again. So many people in the comments rallying against an issue that isn’t even there. You’re just being told this is an issue. Do you even check for yourselves?

No, making it longer would help if your only goal is to crash the economy thinking that a tantrum will solve the core problem and not just lead to a bunch of bandaid appeasements.

For the record I’m agreeing with you. We need more directed action and more specific demands. These demands need to be things that have a clear roadmap to being implemented as well, not just “I want X”. Cool. Nifty. How do you expect X to be implemented in today’s world? What will the steps look like?

I keep saying exactly this. It needs to be longer than a week and it can’t be things like groceries or you’re basically asking people to starve. And so many people who are supposedly fighting for the less well off don’t seem to get “living paycheck to paycheck” and the idea that working 5 days a week and taking care of yourself/kids means that when you shop is largely dictated by factors out of your control. Its got “oh, just make your coffee at home to save up for a new house” or “blame the average person for climate change and not the massively polluting corporations” vibes.
