What's so fucking grating -- to the point of being repulsive -- about all the whining is that it's people of privilege complaining about shit that *plenty* of people in *their own country* have *always had to do* And was never an emergency thenhttps://twitter.com/ambernoelle/status/1330907362979360771?s=20 …

I've worked retail. I will never shop on Black Friday unless it's an emergency (and I mean life-threatening emergency, not mild discomfort or "I will die if I don't have this popular toy") because I have been there. It's not actually that hard, I promise, affluent assholes!
