Letter to the editor: American privilege and better use of our time

I personally think that people paying exorbitant prices for sneakers and headphones need their heads examined, but I see many parents providing their children with such things, overpriced and unnecessary. It should be an embarrassment to our country that we are so overprivileged as to pay more for shoes than some people in third-world countries would earn in a month.

Another thing — can we use our time better and, instead of marching for Black Lives Matter, march for term limits on politicians? Maybe then we can get some action for the public interest instead of politicians’ interests. Career politicians get rich while we get nothing. If not, then march for All Lives Matter, including the unborn. Just my opinion, of course.
