I guess if you’re stupid enough to buy a dental plan based on Tom Hanks’s recommendation, you’re also dumb enough to think Tom Hanks still looks that young.
Stupid people deserve consumer protection too. Don't be a snob.
Problem is a lot of the stupid people are the ones voting to destroy the protections they need.
A lot of them or all of them? Because if it isn't all of them, they deserve those protections.
I don't know... that argument seems to me like saying because some poor people are Republicans and vote against it, they don't deserve universal healthcare.
Protections should be universal.
I didn't say they don't deserve it, just that they don't make the best decisions when it comes to what is best for themselves.
Even more reason why they need protection.
Feels like a symptom of poor education to me.
Society in general seems to give up quickly on people who might need extra support to learn, without really considering the consequences
The point is these people are already being scammed, regardless of if it's the real Tom Hanks.
Unfortunately, still "smart" enough to vote.
