Inane response oft quoted when lacking a real retort.

Next time someone complains to me about police violence against black people, I'll tell them to go become police officers if they can do it better.

If I was a politician hypothetically running for office against an incumbent wouldn't my main job be to complain about the status quo in public forums?

I understand that my single comment here might seem off color and nonsensical.

But this is not a one off thing. I have sat in frustration for years now as the Michigan state government fails to do anything to help the massive amounts of working poor in this state. The state legislature seemingly refuses to acknowledge you unless you're a gay kid or Christian farmer.
I'm frustrated with my state government, and they don't seem to care.

Especially when no one is working on it and it’s terribly underfunded. I can write to my state Senator for months about how people are struggling to get to work and no one cares.
The republicans here only care about Christian farmers. The Democrats want to focus all their energy on gay kids.
And the working poor? Left behind as usual.

Still waiting on the major roads near my house to stop being under construction for 3 years.
How many more socially progressive bills will Whitmer pass as she ignores poor Detroiters.

I don’t think this quote will resonate with younger Americans. In our era of hyper individualism , society has ceased offering any direction on what it would like from us.

Not every act of kindness needs to be met with hard cynicism.

Even a small act of kindness and altruism can help better the world.
Comforting to see these is still some hope for us left.

What is the point of having different words if they don't actually have separate meanings?

Pretty much anywhere? They cost about the same per pound and the ribeye is a much bigger cut.

That’s strange because OP never mentioned a price , you seem to be assuming quite a lot.
Also a ribeye (which is what that looks like) costs more than a filet usually.

Great crust on the steak and the pan sauce looks good on those taters.
As others have stated that doesn’t look like a filet, but that hardly matters. Personally I have had it with all the snobbery and elitism that surrounds home cooking these days.

Actually given that we live in a democracy, discussing my dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in a public place is both a necessary and vital part of the political process.
