This goes with what I said previously about saving v.s. spending your cash when you have little to save or spend. The argument of "they wont spend money" is because it is being put towards something bigger such as a house or retirement. It all goes back to the economy at some point.

This is the explanation for my first annotation and I stand by what I said. This argument makes no sense, I can pretty confidently say that if anyone just happened upon $50k the first thing they did would not be spend it. The idea in my head is that if these people had just a couple hundred dollars more a month, even if they spent just half of it thats another 100-200 dollars a month from one person going back to the economy. With the 36 million now student debt free thats 3.6 billion a month.

I feel like this line makes sense if you give it some thought, people who are living paycheck to paycheck to pay for housing, food, student loans etc would obviously spend less because they have less to spend. This to me feels like the Texas Sharpshooter where it's cherrypicked.

It feels like we can only look past skin color in America when there is an even bigger more dangerous type of person out there, aka Zombies. It's like siding with the lesser of two evils which I find fundamentally disgusting.

Having your group of "others" portrayed as intellectually primitive or inferior is one of the first steps that is usually taken in trying to show that you can never reason or understand them.

This reflects what was shown in one of the videos defining Orientalism, where the east was shown as "new and exotic". Or through the video of the distinguished and refined professor visiting a nightclub.

Through stories and examples like this we are able to help show that othering those who are different is wrong, and revert some of the cultural damage of Orientalism and racism.
