Esp one using gym pics for their identity 😂😂😂😂

I promise you, the thoughts of an entitled self absorbed millennial who references JK Rowling very much do not factor into anything I do or think.

Do you honestly think I care what someone this entitled and tone deaf thinks of me? 😂

Nothing like ten minutes of entitled liberals deciding what’s affordable for poor people to remind me that even Bluesky is a stunning waste of time and that the Democrats are never going to learn a damn thing from their arrogance; absolutely clueless about what life is really life for working poor.

Congrats! You have made the same stupid argument already made. Gold star! You also lack critical thinking about who responds to these surveys and why certain groups are underrepresented.

And yet, you have completely failed to address the ACTUAL issue of entitled tools saying what’s too expensive.

😂😂😂😂😂 Tell me you don’t understand legal research in one pathetic comment

Your arrogance and inability to stay on topic to the issue I raised (your tone deafness) and be honest about the points that I was discussing is amazing, keep patting yourself on your back about how much you care about the poor.

Meanwhile, they’ll be laughing at what an arrogant ass you are.

An “honest discussion” would actually stay within the parameters of the point I -actually- raised instead of deflecting and trying to reframe the discussion.

People who HAVE money don’t get to decide what “isn’t a big deal” for people who don’t.

The oblivious entitlement is stunning.

😂😂😂 Wow, that’s a hysterically dishonest way to present my actual issues but go for it. I’ve already lost all respect for you. 😂😂😂😂

Then, “I will also ignore any critical thinking about why that very same population is very likely underrepresented in the same study I am relying on to justify my tone deaf assumptions”

I’m not the one looking for an improved study; you’re the one trying to justify speaking for the poor.

Let me explain this really slowly:

-You- are pointing to a survey to justify ignoring a very real issue of your classism interfering with your understanding of a problem. “I have decided it’s not too much money for other people to be concerned about so it must not be”

That’s definitely a persuasive argument. You’ve really proven how much you know. 🤦‍♀️

The fact that you can’t have an honest discussion about the very real and acknowledged issues that any halfway decent researcher would recognize really proves how much you expect to just talk out your ass and go unchallenged. Not a persuasive look to put it
mildly. Reals shows some ignorance.

Trump's return to power fueled by Hispanic, working-class voter support Donald Trump reshaped the US electorate once again this year, piling up support among Hispanic voters, young people, and Americans without college degrees -- and winning more votes in nearly all of the country as he reclaimed the presidency.

A little reminder for you of the current reality www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

It’s absolutely hysterical how you guys are working to spin this with zero self reflection.

Bodes really well for this country’s future. 🤦‍♀️

Tell me you’ve learned nothing in the past year in one comment 😂😂😂😂

And that you prob haven’t had a meaningful conversation with anyone truly working class about transit in your life.

Fact that you are
this defensive about being called out on your classism is very revealing.
As is the fact that you obviously genuinely don't understand the very real (and usually acknowledged by social scientists) issues wsurveys like that.

But exaggerating my point def makes you more credible.

Congrats on really doubling down on your absolute cluelessness 😂 It’s amazing how tone deaf, disconnected from a huge segment of transit users and entitled you sound - made even more obvious by your reliance on study & zero critical thinking about inherent issues of those studies as representative.

😂😂😂😂 You do realize there are comments in this thread above yours right? Do you always start a book in the middle? 🤦‍♀️. FFS, your own comment was in response to a bigger discussion.

The very fact that you think my lived experience in this conversation is irrelevant because I have a postgraduate degree is you saying that somebody with a postgraduate degree doesn't have first hand lived experience with the topic that is worth hearing. 🤦‍♀️

Maybe read the number of comments about other cities while you’re trying though 🤦‍♀️

EXACTLY. And then doubling down when called out on it.

I was responding to the -tone- of these posts. But keep trying to rationalize.

😂😂😂 If you think you’re being lectured because you can’t be honest about the math of poverty, that’s on you and your insecurities.

😂😂😂 Absolutely hysterical that you first attack me for having worked my way out of South Side Chicago to lawyerdom and now want to reassure me you know the life. JFC, and people wonder why the working class turned away from the democrats. Talk about exhibit A. So much tone deaf privilege.

Ok, so $3/each way, $6/day, average around 22 working days a month, now $132/month. If you don’t think that represents a lot of cash to people living at or below the poverty line, you have clearly never actually experienced life at that level.

If you never had to calculate how you spent actual food stamps to get change to ride the bus, maybe pipe down.

😂😂😂😂 Thanks for proving my point; nice classist assumption that working poor folks never make it this far in life. God do you hear yourself?

To be clearer, my issue is not with this specific system, it’s with the tone deafness of people who have never been truly poor deciding what is “a lot” of money for others. Liberals once again proving they have no idea how true working class people live.

Not everyone lives there
