Yea the police are always giving such a hard time to people who don't look poor. It's so unfair that someone who can and does apparently pay for public transit has to prove they did.
"poor people have had it too good for too long and slavery is the only answer. I consider myself a pragmatic centrist"
jesus fuck, this is racist in so many different ways simultaneously that I’m trying to imagine what living like this person must feel like, living this existence where they assume all the “poor-looking” (yeah) people sharing public transit with them must be smoking crack and stealing fare and therefore deserve slavery
like fuck, that kind of existence is just a pit of despair you can’t leave, isn’t it?
e: and literally the only thing that happened to them is they had to pull up a receipt on their phone or whatever! and meanwhile people who look poor (to them) had the audacity to exist near them! fucking ordinary shit is what made them like this! minor inconveniences produced this Level of racial hatred! what in the fuck!
big failed art student energy isn't it?
Scrooge was a fucking pussy and he should have told those ghosts to suck him in hell

"I have a legitimate Metrolink fare and should not be hassled when I don't tap. These other people who don't look like me obviously do not have the Metrolink fare and should be hassled when they don't tap."
heh yeah saw that one too. and they have some other remarkable glittering shitgems in their posting history
I think I've seen that username on something posted on TechTakes before.
