If I said that living in poverty is really bad for your mental health so if you can shoplift some stuff you really want -- or, better yet, loot a bunch stuff during a riot -- people would fucking crucify me But it's all different if you have the money https://twitter.com/AnaMardoll/status/1308141599738810374?s=20 …
