there are so many other things more pressing to be concerned about

Can you show your work?

But let’s not move the goalposts. I’m not saying there is nothing more pressing; I am saying that this is more pressing than the price of eggs. In fact, this is more important than having a domestic egg industry at all.

How about you tell me where I lost you, and I’ll fill you in.

You responded to one word of the parent comment, and ignored the rest.

most experts in the field are not significantly concerned about a pandemic in the near term

This, but the opposite. This whole thread has been you saying stupid things for your own emotional needs. You know, if this is just your defense mechanisms speaking, you’d get just as much out of it if after composing your comment, you clicked “Cancel”.

But an individual owning a car isn’t taking something from someone who doesn’t own a car.

One individual, no. But collectively, you take so much, you just don’t understand. Everything is so much harder for me because everyone with means has to be able to drive EVERYWHERE door to door. You are empowered? I am disempowered.

lol “we meant to do that”

There are other, less tortured interpretations that you have QUITE ODDLY glided past. Such bad faith comments only serve to soothe your own emotional needs.

A car is a way of seizing power from those who cannot afford a car, have a disability that prevents driving, etc.

its intended as a sad comment on today

we’e on the verge of a bleed-from-your-ass pandemic like we haven’t seen in more than a hundred years because of American farming practices, and all Americans care about is the price of eggs
