Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.
I didn’t know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn’t discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could’ve been better and the food selection could’ve been better, but they were there for me and others who’re strapped on budgets.
And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could’ve been worse.
Re read the content I replied to, they were praising the period between 1989 and 2001
Its me, I am them. I was praising that period. Lots of iraquis die constantly outside of the timeframe I chose and bad stuff happens all the time. Doesn’t change the key factors of being after the threat of global nuclear destruction and before the stamping down of human rights in the west
Motherfucker, the black people were segregated until the 70s and early 80s. Get that propaganda “stamping down of human rights in the west” bullshit outta here.
Grab a book and see how the west has been at the forefront of “stamping down of human rights” throughout most of recent history.
Ok. Black people were also slaves earlier than that. Also, the dragnet surveillance, and all the other human rights abuses created as part of the war on terror affects black people and racial minorities.
So you don’t want to engage with a literal what-about-ism?! Pff what has the internet come to, when dishonest arguments get shot down…
This word you are using, it doesn’t mean what you think it means. It’s not whataboutism to say “no you are wrong, that period you say was great, really wasn’t, here’s one example”.
