Nope. It sucks. Grocery prices keep climbing and most everyone that I know seem to enjoy what Fucky Don is doing. No one complains like when Biden was in office and prices were coming down still (until I bring it up)...

Do not, my friends, become addicted to food. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence.

And 40% of that group are fucking stupid and are happy with it.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

More than half, more likely.

What, working three jobs isn't supposed to be the standard?

Somebody lied to me man.

…and people have the audacity to ask for reasons I don’t want children.

My mom threatens to not give me any inheritance if I don't

"give her a grandchild"
and
"stop 'acting' depressed"

[–] WanderingThoughts 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

What inheritance? It'll evaporate quickly as soon as elderly care and associated medical costs are needed.

[–] throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 hours ago

Lmfao.

We're aren't even white, it'll be gone as soon as the gestapo shows up and declare us terrorists and do "civil asset forfeiture" then we all get shipped into el salvador, and my mom will still tell me how I'm the worst child she ever had.

Like, fascism is here and the family is still divided.

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 hours ago

Paying you money for giving her a child? Sounds like child trafficking to drag.

Man, I hate this question not only for its personal nature but because, I mean, has the person asking me lived under a rock for a few decades? Shouldn't the onus of proof here be on the reasons for having one and no-kids be the default?

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 hours ago

No.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

No. Not even close to okay.

Buckle up, it's going to get real bad soon when all of those government jobs lost start to kick in. If his budget bill goes through, there will be very few safety nets.

Are we great again yet? I can't tell from here.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Of course! Didn't you hear? The brown people are really suffering! Aren't you happy?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but we've got FrEeDoM! coming out of our ass, so there's that!

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Mmmm. Diarrhea Freedom for the win!

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Those pesky food safety regulashuns are stifling the American entrepreneurial spirit!

[–] figjam@midwest.social 12 points 8 hours ago

No. Not really. Everyone is struggling and pretending not to struggle at the same time.

[–] oji@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

I wish we had such statistics on modern day

[–] Spot@startrek.website 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. They really need to word these things better to start with.

It's intentional. Large media outlets are owned by the people with wealth that—if not hoarded and locked away—would help those 60% of households be able to afford a minimal quality of life.
