I think it’s more likely that other nosy class-asking-about anon is currently financially struggling or was raised in an environment w/ financial difficulty than that they’re someone who thinks poor people shouldn’t have phones or nice clothes. They probably can’t/couldn’t afford the things they mentioned. JMO. Also, consider the way you sometimes talk about other working class people. You do come off as paternalistic sometimes. Signed, some jerk who has spent too much time behind a register

Usually when I talk about working class people, I’m talking about shit I’m currently dealing with in my own life, but I’ll try to do better.
