    Everything is a crisis if you can't control your impulses.

      Some people just can't resist the urge to feed their families.

        Some people also can't resist the urge to create large families they can't afford.

      I suppose it's easier to blame ones self than to critique capitalism

      • bpt3 2 days ago

        Easier or not, it's certainly more productive to focus on what you can control.

        Also I'm open to critiques of capitalism, but the post I replied to didn't contain one.

        I guess more people died of starvation under socialism than under capitalism.

        blaming capitalism is extremely useless

      Ozempic is expensive unless you make your own from overseas imports

The addition of credit cards to that line does little to spoil the point they were making.
