This article was done as a counter to the 99% movement. It's pretty hilarious especially the one girl who says she pays 18,000 dollars a month in bills and only has 100 for food... the authors advice. pay 17,500 a month pay off your debts in 18 month instead of 12 and use the other 500 for food. hahaha idk worth a read if you're interested.

1) select idiots' complaints from opposing side that dont represent the bulk of the group or their ideology
2) tear them apart in an edgy fashion that cynical, uninformed internetters get boners from

it's like a strawman argument, only more worthless and stupid

Okay, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that every story is different. Doesn't take away from the fact that that was entertaining.

I hope some of those people found that article and realize how dumb they sound.
