    Well, I remember Russians standing in bread lines. You’re probably just finishing puberty.

      It is better to feed the poor than to not do so. Insulting the level of cognitive development of someone for pushing back against your statement is, ironically, childish behavior.

      The wealthiest nation in the world cannot feed its hungry, cannot house its homeless, cannot provide livable wages to its working class. Capitalism is a failed experiment that has failed every time it’s been attempted. And here you are trying to argue for an economic system that you are not part of, you are not capitalist, you are being exploited by the capitalist as much as anyone else. The only difference is that you revere your chains.

      I remember not long ago cars lined up for 10, 15, 20 miles to get food here in the US. And I’m probably old enough to be at least your father, As you lie there in a state of arrested development.
