About poor people that owns guns and Prada bags

Tentin Quarantino @agraybee - 18 oct. 000 An AR-15 and a Prada bag cost roughly the same amount, so if you see a guy with three of them he's probably not economically anxious. 190 27 5 mil 28,7 mil Tentin Quarantino @agraybee · 18 oct.

Hood post-scarcity: Why do poor people buy luxuries?

$marquis de posade @acczibit · Oct 24 What people struggle with is that large parts of America live in what I guess you could call "hood post-scarcity" We try to live like we're post-scarcity, even though most of us are a single misfortune away from bankruptcy and are aware and frequently reminded of this fact flying leaf @dbaten3 · Oct 18 The liberal elite remade this country's economy around a parasitic service sector, and now when the humiliated working poor try to claw back a bit of status - be it guns or air jordans - the insufferable scolds emerge to call them spoiled trailer or hood queens or w/e An AR-15 and a Prada bag cost roughly the same amount, so if you see a guy with three of them he's probably not economically anxious. 3:44 PM 18 Oct 20 · Twitter for iPhone O 10 27 62 O 418 marquis de posade @acczibit · Oct 24 So, people try to spoil themselves where they can, because a single one of those misfortunes is far more devastating than the price of some "luxury" item like an AR-15 or Prada bag. That money isn't gonna cover even a 000 fraction of your unexpected medical bill or whatever O 1 27 17 176 marquis de posade @acczibit · Oct 24 Conversely, the basics of survival are relatively cheap. So you're left in a situation where you could save up money, but nowhere near enough to cover the cost of misfortunes. Hence, people prefer to spoil themselves, because a misfortune happening is an economic KO either way 27 27 O 226 marquis de posade @acczibit · Oct 24 000 Hence you have "welfare queens" who are otherwise broke but flex their AR-15 or Prada bag. The rate at which people can realistically save money is grossly insufficient compared to the cost of things that cause bankruptcy, and if you're f----- either way why not treat yourself 27 24 O 226 marquis de posade @acczibit · Oct 24 Because that's what was mentioned in the original post I quoted, but yes 000 People take hefty but ultimately affordable for most ticket items like guns, designer fashion, consoles etc (disingenuously) as a signifier of wealth so they can dismiss squalor Eddie Pensier @PerfectGonads · Oct 24 Replying to @acczibit Why just focus on ARs and Prada bags? You could say the same thing about anything that costs more than a few hundred bucks. Hell, the new Playstation and Xbox consoles cost almost as much as a low-end AR. Car loan + insurance + gas = the cost of an AR every few months. 1 O 103$
