You've been here since 2013. I've been using this account since 2010 so you can "f off" with that, too.

"Better" according to who? You?

If people can't get food, they start eating rats and shoe leather. It doesn't make it "better".

The point was that I expected better from _you_, a long standing member here. But your response again shows I need to adjust that expectation.
