It’s wild because it implies a lot out of OP’s comment that OP didn’t say, but at the same time your frustrations make perfect sense.
The context is what makes it stand out. There absolutely are insensitive people who think the solution to red states’ problems is “just go to a blue state.” I can see why OP’s comment may have triggered a certain defense. However, I didn’t get the “insensitive” vibe from their comment, merely a mention that the vaccines are still available in other states.
It read it not as, “Oh you don’t really have a problem because you can travel,” but rather as a response to how the above article implies that this is a problem nation-wide, even though it actually isn’t. I know, because I just got both the covid and flu shot yesterday and the experience wasn’t any different from other times I’ve received shots. I was looking through the comments specifically to find somebody who pointed this out, as I planned to mention it myself (though I would’ve phrased it differently.)
With all that said, I feel you. It’s absolute bullshit that a luck of the draw means some of us have better access to preventive medicine than others, and it must be frustrating when people chime in with “solutions” that are beyond your means. As if being surrounded by MAGA isn’t bad enough. And to the points in your second comment - you’re absolutely right. The billionaires are the ones behind all of the crap we deal with, regardless of where we happen to live.
Why is it wild? What did they say that’s wild?
Do you really believe some states are free? Do you really believe blue states aren’t run by corrupt politicians paid by billionaires?
Identify the wild part and articulate why it’s wild.
