  • Disconnection rates have been increasing since the 1990s, affecting young people’s futures.
  • Poor mental health and a lack of a financial safety net contribute to rising disconnection.

    Coke and chips is pretty low on the list of problems when struggling to find a decent full time job or trying to afford education.

      Although Coca Cola the company has a pretty goddamn monstruos history. So they’re not really blameless in the wonderous history of capitalism. And lays is owned by Pepsi. So…yeah, chips and soda are pretty good examples of contributing to the societal rot that capitalism has left in its wake.

      But then again, the person you’re replying to is still off the base and I don’t support their “vote with your wallet” message in response to direct action.
