The money on the table there is like 1-2 months rent at best.

Yeah I counted what, like 3,200? It's deliberately spread out to pretend it's a big deal. I've seen cops with those lame spread photos where it's loving singles.

Some people just don't understand what poor means. A guy that has an extra months rent isn't going to have to worry about not being able to eat for a few days.

idk what you're even trying to complain about here. That the person caught holding the bag here aint really poor because they're not donating blood just for the free cookie and OJ?
do you also think the person doing a bank deposit from DQ is loaded because they're carrying around a few grand too?

People selling pounds of weed are most likely doing that because they are poor and other jobs suck total and complete dogshit.

“Hmm ok I’m 22 year with severe student loan debt or no student debt and no real job experience besides 2 years at Best Buy or Target or w/e and I need a new car, a new phone, new shoes, my dog needs medicine, I would like to take my GF out on a nice date every once in a while so she feels appreciated, my mom cannot help with my phone bill this month.. and I’m making $12 an hour with maybe 30 hours if I’m lucky?

You bet your SWEET rear end I am selling weed to make ends meet!”

And then once you’ve been doing for a little while you become fully blackpilled against capitalism when you realize that you’re making more money selling drugs than you could literally ever hope to make doing anything else a person with your age and experience could hope to make (except for your friends who are strippers, they will always make more than you), and suddenly it’s 4 years later and you wake up driving a car to Georgia wearing sunglasses you’ve never purchased and trying to Memento what the gently caress is happening in between 90 MPH keybumps by reading your texts from the last... 3 days!? Oh gently caress!

My point is that even when someone has pounds of weed and guns and maybe some cash on hand, the truth is you almost 100% owe someone that cash or that grass and you never really own anything and the cash has to stay fluid so while you are always buying and selling things you can finish up 7-10 years of hustling and grinding and still not have that much to show for it besides a bunch of weird tattoos and Something Awful forums account with all the upgrades.

I get the feeling that a lot of people ITT think I might be some sort of "pull up your bootsraps" idiot rich guy or a Bill O'Reilly type thinking that if a family has a refridgerator they shouldn't qualify as living in poverty. That's certainly not the case. Let me give you an example of some of the things that are happening in my country:

quote:

Mercy Baguma, a 34-year-old asylum seeker, was found dead in her flat on Saturday morning with her one-year-old son, who is said to have been malnourished, beside her. Police said her “sudden” death was currently being treated as unexplained but not suspicious, and that the case had been referred to the public prosecutor.

The mother-of-one had appealed to a small charity for help 10 days before, asking whether she could apply for any grants to support herself and her young child because she didn’t have any income and wasn’t receiving any state support.

quote:

The Independent understands that Baguma had lost her job following the expiration of her leave to remain in the UK, and had struggled to obtain financial support due to the no recourse to public funds (NRPF) policy, which prevents thousands of migrants from accessing public funds, causing her to fall into rent arrears and extreme poverty.

Every time we try to have a productive conversation about busting and whether or not it makes us feel good people go and ruin the vibe with talk of poverty and desperation–exactly what busting is supposed to provide a momentary relief from. I especially expect better of someone with the user name Bust Rodd.

I know it's not supposed to be a competition - there are different levels of poverty and more people are struggling than ever right now. It's just that I think the amount of money on the table up there would be literally life saving for some people. I'm basing this off my own circumstances, a few years ago I was in a similar position to poor Mercy Beguma. I could well have died too if my family hadn't come to my rescue and I still haven't recovered from that period which was the worst year of my life.

I keep seeing news stories about starving children in my country and hearing personal accounts of people having their lives destroyed.

This is all too e/n or cspam for GBS. I don't want to continue this derail. I've got PMs if you want to ask me more.

Listen bub, I'm just never gonna get anything done unless horny stays cancelled. I take one look at a butts thread and HUH HUUUH HUUUUUUGHH then I've gotta change my pants. Now I see a thread where people are talking about bustin and once again I'm ejaculating all over myself.

I've got a life to live, I can't be horny all day! Marxist readings on the socio-economics of drug dealers are the only thing that can keep my dick limp.
