people aren't reading or thinking, they are just being outraged that their entitlement is being called out.

i get this a lot with travel too. travel is a luxury, but if you say that people tell you are a close minded asshole and that travel is a necessity for their well-being and happiness and if isn't for yours you are mentally ill.

millennials and gen z travel way more than ever and spend massive amounts on it and then cry poor about not being able to spend more on it.

life is expensive, but spending your money on luxuries like travel, ready to eat food, and food delivery and then whining about how expensive necessities are (housing, healthcare, education, groceries) is so straight up absurd. apparently everyone is broke all th e time and struggling, but when it comes to getting their grubhub, their pot, and their international vacation travel, they miraculously always have money for that.. and it can't be that these two things are maybe related?
