Ignore him.
He gets petulant any time a thread demonstrates most people in the real world are not completely broke and struggling to buy a tin of beans.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
