1. Absolutely! And the super-wealthy aren't even the worst of it

It's the hordes of drooling simps who leap to defend their uncaring billionaire owners at the slightest provocation.

2. True

[Justice matters.]

3. That, and also capitalism makes a profit on each $3 iced coffee

a few times a week.

Capitalism never loses, except in deep deep deep Depressions.

It's what it was designed to lead to. Resources are limited to this planet.

4. Thanks for this!

I hate the idea of policing anyone else's food. When people start making declarations about how people should be able to use SNAP benefits (like forbidding them to buy anything with sugar in it), I get very cranky. The government needs to stay the hell out of people's personal business. Telling people what they're allowed to eat is just as bad as telling women thry have to stay pregnant whether they want to or not, or taking away the choice of trans people to access gender affirming care (which some states have already done). If people need assistance with paying for food, just give it to them, and then mind your own damned business.

5. Yup

People who are rich (and even those who are just financially comfortable) LOVE to judge those who don't have money. Richies LOVE to tell poor people how to spend their few dollars. "I saw someone on welfare buy steak! I can't afford steak!!"

And I want to know where one can get an iced coffee for $3!!!
