minus-squarestopthatgirl7@kbin.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·edit-21 year agoNot everyone in poor areas has a car. Or easy access to one, or the spare money for gas to drive out of their way to find a grocery store. “Food deserts are most common in low socio-economic areas, where residents are unlikely to own a car or have one that is not always working.”

minus-squareUncle_Iroh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down8·1 year agoBus, walk, bike, if you cannot affort a car you’re likely not working enough so you have the time to use alternative modes of transport.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoWhere are you supposed to bike to when the nearest supermarket is 20 miles away? And poor people often work 2 or 3 jobs. Again, you know nothing about being poor.
minus-squareUncle_Iroh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down6·1 year agoUnless you live in bumfuck arkanses the next supermarket is not 20 miles away, and even then it likely isn’t. Poor people work so many jobs that I see them sitting on their porch at 1pm on a fucking Tuesday.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoAh, and there we go. Classism. Must be nice to be rich.
minus-squareUncle_Iroh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down5·1 year agoAh, yes. Me working hard to be where I am and seeing others do nothing and complain about being poor is classism. I’m not rich, I’m just not a fucking bum.
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoAh, so now people who don’t work are all bums. No, you’re totally not a classist.
minus-squareUncle_Iroh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down5·1 year agoPeople that do not work while being able to work are bums, yes. That is how that works. Sounds like you’re a fucking bum too tbh.
