Collapse related because when the rich tell the poor “the solution to inflation is tighten your belts” it means your country is fucked. Austerity, y’all.

    You understand that we understand that right?

    That the problem here is that they’re using this as a handy tip for saving money in as casual a tone as ‘bring your lunch to work’.

    You get that right?

      Yes I do get that. The article is terrible but I don’t think you should conflate a complicated decision and animal murder just to make that point. I’m aware most people here know the difference between the two, but it bothered me so I pointed it put.

        It’s hyperbole for humour’s sake. You’ll see it often. Literally no one took it the way you did.

          Well again, it bothered me so I pointed it out. I’ll agree it was probably unnecessary, but I’m really not sure why everyone seemed to dislike it so much.

            You were condescendingly explaining something to people who already understood. That is typically poorly received.

              All I did was explain something that most reasonable people probably already know. I did not write it in a condescending way. Maybe it seems condescending to you that I’m assuming you don’t already know that information. But, I’m not making any assumptions about you specifically. I’ve met plenty of people here that would genuinely have difficulty comprehending any possibility of not getting your dog chemotherapy. This isn’t a one on one conversation. If my comment isn’t of use to you, then move on. There’s no sense in having that kind of response just because I publicly explained something you personally didn’t need explained to you.
