✏ Rules
- DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
- No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

I suppose she's right, but not in a cutesy way - I have friends living paycheck to paycheck who push themselves to near-bankruptcy with loans to host these ridiculously elaborate kids' parties. More aspirationally wealthy activities to keep families struggling, yay!
One of the ways the rich hurts the rest of us is by setting impossible standards for consumption. You might have a modest but reasonable comfortable lifestyle with your basic needs secured and access to some luxuries but seeing other people do impossible shit like this makes you feel insufficient and unhappy with what you have.
The rich are making the rest of us feel miserable by making us feel poor even when we're not and by making us feel like we don't do "enough".
