re: #320 Sheila Broflovski

I have heard the same shit argued that poor people aren’t really “poor” because they have: refrigerators, TVs (especially flat-screen TVs), computers, laptops, cell phones, cars and air conditioners.

The air conditioning one really irks me. WTF? So if you’re poor you’re expected to die of heatstroke in your own apartment during the summer or freeze in the winter?

Also, window AC units aren’t cheap, but they also don’t cost a million bucks. You can get a decent unit for less than $200 at Home Depot.
