Comment on ‘The tyranny of apps’: those without smartphones are unfairly penalised, say campaigners

The more insane thing here for me is the fact that there isn’t a washing machine inside your apartment.

(btw lived in such once, apparently the owner wasn’t very wealthy. We washed everything by hand)

It’s actually incredibly common in US apartments for laundry to be a common area.

Having a unit in your apartment means you’re at least well-to-do. Poor people can mostly go fuck themselves.

  Well-to-do? That is weird, because here not having a washing machine in the apartment would be weird even for a poor person.

    US hates poor people. I’m poor, I know from experience. They hold homelessness over us as a threat to keep in line.
    
    We went from during the pandemic, treating “essential workers” as “heroes” while not increasing their pay for risking their lives, to now, straight back to how it used to be, screaming at overworked underpaid people “You’re lucky to have a job!”
    
    They fucking hate us.

    Where I am, the median salary is around $400-$600. I know how you feel.

  No I have not, heard it is offensive and unfunny.
