  Not to mention when the court orders you to have regular drug testing done, you’re on the hook for them. And they ain’t exactly cheap, especially for someone making 10 bucks an hour part time.

    The whole legal system is designed to make non-wealthy people fail to rehabilitate.

      Hey now, it’s designed so wealthy people don’t have to rehabilitate either, so that’s fair right?

    You have to pay for the Tests yourself?

  It’s one microwave, how much could it cost? 1000 dollars?

    It might as well cost $1000 if you are barely scraping by.

    All this tells me is you’ve never been inside the home of a poor person, let alone a poor person who is also suffering from addiction. If they have a home at all.

        This just tells me you’ve never been inside the house of a poor person. If you think they have a tv.

  Maybe they can spend money on microwave instead of drugs or urine.

    Tell me you don’t understand addiction without telling me you don’t understand addiction.

      Oh poor babies! Let’s be real most of addicted people are adults that should be responsible for their own lives, I was addicted to alcohol and stopped, it was hard ofc. If they can’t maaaybe they shouldn’t try to game the system and own their mistakes?

        Yeah, and the poors need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, transgender folks need to just make peace with what their mothers’ doctors said, underpaid employees should just go get a better paid job, and fat people should just stop putting food in their gobs until they’re thin. People sleeping on the street: they’re the silliest – they should just go inside!
