      You’re right, only billionaires can afford to do that.

    Two sinks?! TWO SINKS ?! I can barely afford a shoebox with a stove tucked in the corner!

        for me it underlines the message of potential laying idle. two ovens but no food to cook in them

          I think there's a poor (left side, poorly lit, older stove that's worn and dirty) and middle-class (right side, better lit, nicer appliances [plural] and cabinetry) aesthetic being depicted, but both are shown with dirty dishes and empty cupboards, indicating that everyone but the rich are struggling.

          Edit: I can't quite explain the commercial coffee maker with three carafes, nor the bathroom sink (#3) in the very back.

              I don't think this is that complicated. The two kitchen sinks and oven/stoves kinda demand an explanation, and once you start looking closely you see the details. I don't think the point is to emphasize a dichotomy but rather to illustrate that this is one struggle that both the poor and middle class are in.

              What you're saying is right, too, though.

      A stove? Luxury! We live in a match box at the bottom of a lake! And we're thankful for it!

      Trump jokingly(?) told people to put bleach/Clorox in their veins at the beginning of the pandemic.

          That's one of the instances where I'm positive the guy was fucking with the media, but even then it was still hard to tell.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Mineral_Supplement

            MMS is falsely promoted as a cure for HIV, malaria, hepatitis viruses, the H1N1 flu virus, common colds, autism, acne, cancer, and much more. The name was coined by former Scientologist[9] Jim Humble in his 2006 self-published book, The Miracle Mineral Solution of the 21st Century.[10] There have been no clinical trials to test these claims, which come only from anecdotal reports and Humble's book.[11][12] In January 2010, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that one vendor admitted that they do not repeat any of Humble's claims in writing to circumvent regulations against using it as a medicine.[13] Sellers sometimes describe MMS as a water purifier to circumvent medical regulations.[14] The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies rejected "in the strongest terms" reports by promoters of MMS that they had used the product to fight malaria.[15] In 2016, Humble said that MMS "cures nothing".[16] In August 2019, the Food and Drug Administration repeated a 2010 warning against using MMS products, describing it as "the same as drinking bleach".

            It's an oldish conspiracy in right-wing circles. He also believes that his heart is a battery with a finite number of thumps so I think that's just how he believes bodies work.

                Oh the fun things people will do when they have no access to medicine and it turns out that isn't a luxury good.

    I mean it says it's in LA but they clearly don't have heat in their house and judging by the plants, the water's cut off.
