In order to have a microwave, you need to have money. Poor people tend to lack that. Especially poor people who are also drug addicted who just want to keep out of prison or keep their job.
Oh poor babies! Let’s be real most of addicted people are adults that should be responsible for their own lives, I was addicted to alcohol and stopped, it was hard ofc. If they can’t maaaybe they shouldn’t try to game the system and own their mistakes?
Yeah, and the poors need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, transgender folks need to just make peace with what their mothers’ doctors said, underpaid employees should just go get a better paid job, and fat people should just stop putting food in their gobs until they’re thin. People sleeping on the street: they’re the silliest – they should just go inside!
Are you really not aware that chemical dependency is a medical condition?
And let’s say it is just a bunch of stupid weaklings who can’t get off the drugs because they’re so weak and stupid… why should they get fired or put in prison for it?
Okay, I’ve tried to be reasonable, but I think you reached the ‘be respectful’ limit a while back and if you cannot be respectful of people with legitimate medical conditions, you don’t need to be here.
You had zero opportunities to be robbed by a family member at knife point due to them needing a fix. Sorry not sorry, no compassion here, people like that should be forced either get off the drugs or go to jail.
It might as well cost $1000 if you are barely scraping by.
All this tells me is you’ve never been inside the home of a poor person, let alone a poor person who is also suffering from addiction. If they have a home at all.
The joke is literally about an out of touch rich person not knowing what things cost and scoffing at an expense. “It’s one banana, Michael. What could it cost? $10?”
They’re not disconnected - at least not based on that comment. Maybe they’re a piece of shit who knows? But this comment is specifically NOT what you’re saying.
I get why you were upset but it is not what you think it is. Put the pitchfork down and take a beat. This is a misunderstanding, you missed a joke and that’s fine. But now it has been explained to you.
Not to mention when the court orders you to have regular drug testing done, you’re on the hook for them. And they ain’t exactly cheap, especially for someone making 10 bucks an hour part time.

Maybe they can spend money on microwave instead of drugs or urine.
Tell me you don’t understand addiction without telling me you don’t understand addiction.

And people with clinical depression just need to smile more, am I right?
I understand now, depression is exactly like drug addiction, no difference there, valid comparison, friend.
In that they are both medical condition? Yes.

You are spectacularly ignorant
Starting 2025 with the compassion resolution I see.
Good job!

It’s one microwave, how much could it cost? 1000 dollars?

It’s a joke. They’re referencing arrested development
This just tells me you’ve never been inside the house of a poor person. If you think they have a tv at all.

Whooosh

You have to pay for the Tests yourself?
The whole legal system is designed to make non-wealthy people fail to rehabilitate.
Hey now, it’s designed so wealthy people don’t have to rehabilitate either, so that’s fair right?
