There are over 100 Myanmar nationals who, despite having completed their sentences and paid all their fines for illegally staying in Manipur State, are still being held at Imphal Prison. Their families are allowed to contact them once a week.

Family members of those imprisoned say they are facing difficulties in raising 50,000 rupees because they have been fleeing conflict and lack stable employment.

Most people in the US can’t afford an unexpected $600 bill

This is just totally fake lol. Most people can afford an unexpected bill of 600 bucks

Oh yeah?

You suck at trolling

Your source says 40% would struggle which is a higher threshold than couldn't but that means 60% would not struggle to pay.

If we’re being pedantic the article says 400 dollars. 600 is 50% more

So your source was wrong on all fronts

Nice to see you completely miss the point, good luck out there.

Maybe but 600 bucks is still nothing to most people lol

You're either trolling or completely out of touch/ignorant on the subject.

They DM’ed me calling me broke and accused me of living in a ghetto with a brutal misspelling, 100% trollin

You can't just tell us that without sharing the misspelling.

Guetto

IDK man, Hanlon's razor being what it is, I choose to believe they're just a fucking moron.
