I read this as Pete Buttigieg at first and was very surprised.

Yeah, but you posting this anonymous message here sure fixed everything! Maybe read the article if you’re going to comment on it.

But then they told everyone else they should feel bad for the poorer people, implying we don’t. They are acting really high and mighty for someone who comes off as pretty insufferable.

I have had to make that choice and now that I’m no longer in that situation, I agree with everything he wrote. Now that I’m able to cover my expenses and have some savings, I’m fairly comfortable, and the desire to make more money has faded away. There’s a lot of things I prioritize over more money.

The book they were referring to was written over 30 years ago. Of course they don’t exist anymore at that price, but I think the overall point still stands, if all you can afford is the lowest quality boots, you’ll end up paying more in the long run than if you could afford to buy better quality boots that can be repaired.

Probably somewhere like Red Wing. Though they’re probably more than 100 now, you can get them resoled when the soles wear out.

That’s not new either. Been going on for ages.

What in earth makes you think they will stop there?

I do agree with you on that, it’s a very meaningful song for me, and I do believe that Cyndi very well may have had her sister in mind when she recorded it.

She didn’t write the song so I’m not sure that’s true.
