I can't help but shop there because I'm poor as I also say fuck you, why do we need a Dollar General two blocks away from a Family Dollar. I can't make ethical shopping decisions because I'm strapped for cash. See also my Amazon account and my opinion that it's a dangerous monopoly. Whatcha gonna do? is my motto lately. Fucking nothing because I'm poor is the answerI can't help but admire that a little.
So long as we're being brutally frank, I took a long, hard look at the future of industry and economics in the United States and said "where's my top hat and pince nez, I'ma sell expensive hand-made luxury items to rich fuckers." You can't fight the tide, man. Sometimes your only recourse is to grab a surfboard and hang on for dear life.
