‘I’m not an elected official, and I’m not a politician,’ Markle opened.

....and your not in office here or an illegal donor to the DNC, so shut the hell up.

'I started working (at the local frozen yogurt shop) at the age of 13. I waited tables, babysat, and piecemealed jobs together to cover odds and ends.‘

And then she discovered high-end hooking…

Her “$4.99 salad” story pegs the time to 1994.
That’s $9.24 in today’s dollars, which is a nice meal out at a midrange restaurant (say, the pulled pork platter at Texas Roadhouse).

Spoken (lamented, whined) like a spoiled child.

I wonder if anyone can prove this. She lies all the time and has a huge sense of entitlement.

I suspect the Daily Mail will have a reporter here working overtime to debunk this….and I look forward to the take-down.

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing 'Hallelujah.'

At the age of 15, she toured Europe!

‘I knew how hard my parents worked to afford this because even at five bucks, eating out was something special, and I felt lucky.’

You mean the parent(your Dad) who you disavow to this day and refused to invite to your wedding because you are so embarrased of him?

‘I started working (at the local frozen yogurt shop) at the age of 13. I waited tables, babysat, and piecemealed jobs together to cover odds and ends. I worked all my life and saved when and where I could—but even that was a luxury—because usually it was about making ends meet and having enough to pay my rent and put gas in my car.’

Eeeee, yeah. You started out at the bottom of the earnings scale like the rest of us and that is the way it is...

Loser...

How on earth did she get time off from the local frozen yogurt shop?

That salad bar was a high point of luxury healthy food.

(...begin rant...)

Most lamenting the problem of “food deserts” use as prime example “lack of fresh fruits and vegetables” (not that those denied are, on the whole, actually inclined to prepare & eat them) without realizing how ridiculously hard & expensive it is to preserve and distribute such fragile & perishable foods, when canned/frozen is equally healthy.

Meghan’s lament attempts to portray her Sizzler salad bar as luxury while exuding “tone deaf” entitled about it.

She’s now living in an economic system that was founded on confiscation of the work of peasants and serfs to enrich a small privileged elite that claimed to be related directly to God. As for the salad bar at Sizzler, I can’t even afford to eat at Sizzler.

There’s nothing wrong with the sizzler salad bar. In fact, it’s pretty good

Wow. The horrors of eating out at a restaurant with a salad bar, probably all you could eat for $4.99.

She has no clue as to how privileged that position is in the world.

Most people in the world would love to move up to that level.
She had electricity, running water, warm clean, and safe housing, excellent transportation and a free education through at least high school, and it was a hardship?

Amazing.
