This is like that other comic about ‘girls only like guys who treat them right’ (i dunno the name) but actually good.

I get the idea and I like it; but please don’t put poverty in this comics. Poor people aren’t envious of richer people, they deserve to live normally.

You’re assuming he’s poor, and not just shit at cooking, or too apathetic to try or learn.

How likely do you think it is that the auth9r meant that and not that he was poor…?

I think he’s going for a hipster New York Loft aesthetic.

Poverty shouldn’t exist.

Edit: someone disagrees with this, apparently

To loose a dog, to be overweight, to see a relationship end are sad but normal things. Poverty isn’t.

As someone who was poor and now is not poor, that’s bullshit. I was for sure envious of well-off folks around me. Now I absolutely don’t take it for granted.

It wasn’t envy. It was a normal reaction to an unjust situation.

I think its a valid example though. Sometimes poor people can save up to go out once and splurge on lobster. People tend to post the highlights of their lives on social media. I think the point here is to not buy into it so much

Or LA traffic. Which, now that I think about it, is the same thing.
