Sorry bud, I'm not going to ignore all of the experiences I've had with you people just because those experiences don't reaffirm ~~your worldviews~~ what you want to believe.
Either God is dead, not omnipotent or an asshole.
Maybe god allows evil to exist because to take it away would be to directly interfere with our free will.
None of those are things that should give you the feeling that you should pray to him/it
That's your opinion.
Seems pretty obvious you haven’t actually interacted with an average leftist, let me tell you, because that is not true…
No, it most certainly is true. The left has decided that it's acceptable and encouraged to stoop to the level of their enemies. You probably disagree with this because it's a hard truth you don't want to acknowledge; don't worry, I see it all the time.
There’s a difference between allowing right-wing policy and opening the door to fascism. Should poison be allowed to run for main course?
Now that's an actual discussion to be had. I, personally, think representative democracies need to go the way of the dodo and we should move to direct voting. I try not to reason about a broken system that is rotten to the core. It's a waste of time and an effective distraction from what we should be doing instead.

He may be referring to how coffee shops (even the small ones!) will raises prices higher than their increase in inventory costs.
Right now, since people know coffee is getting more expensive, coffee shops (even the small ones!) will use that alone as an excuse to charge higher prices.
Keep in mind, these businesses (even the small ones!) charge what you are willing and able to pay. They are there to maximize profit off of you. It's not about being your friend. It's not about being on the same side. To think otherwise is to be a naive child and useful idiot.
As much as I like coffee, it’s now a high-end luxury item that I can no longer afford even occasionally due to everything else raising as well.
You could always make it yourself. Although caffeine pills are the cheapest way to go if it's really caffeine you're after.
Paying $3 for a drink was always a scam. Paying $5 is just like getting ripped off by a drug dealer while thinking you're getting the hook up. Complete insanity.
The cost of pretty much everything has gone up that much in that time.
As it turns out, more money in the hands of consumers tends to translate to higher prices.
It's almost like, and hear me out, it's almost like businesses charge what people are willing to pay, not what goods cost to produce.
