[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s nothing bad about rich people getting clothes from goodwill or Salvation Army. It’s wise and great for the environment. Save the money for experiences and college rather than things. [/quote]

HA I had a really big argument with a friend about this once. There is absolutely something wrong with a rich person buying up everything at goodwill.[/quote]

I doubt they are buying up everything at goodwill.

Re-using stuff is actually the first and most important of the 3 R's of environmentalism.

BTW Goodwill and the Salvation Army get much of their operating budget from the sales at their stores and also toss a lot of what is donated to them because they can't move everything that comes in so most likely this couple is a net benefit to these charities and the environment.

Now if they were insinuating themselves into a place like a Wider Circle that collects professional stuff to help low income people get back on their feet that would be another story.[/quote]

OP here and I agree with this. I really don’t have as much of an issue with the clothes thing and I shop at goodwill myself sometimes. Most of my furniture is either inherited or thrifted. It’s fine. People buy so much crap in this country and it is terrible for the environment. There is plenty enough for all to recycle. It’s the food thing that I find gross.[/quote]

So stop hanging out with her and you and your children spend time with the superior beings enjoying cuisine from all over the world that you paid for.[/quote]
