“the people responsible will get sway with it”

Not only will they get away with it, but they will make massive profits off of it. They will be buying up foreclosed houses, colluding with their friends to short stocks of businesses they buy up and and run into the ground, buying the dip, and still having more than enough leftover to live how they are currently living.

Every time there is one of these recessions or economic crisises, the rich get a lot richer. To them it’s just “buying season”. They have enough money to wait it out.

Yeah mine is the same. Plan to keep it that way. I don’t know how it got that way, probably saw an article like “opt out of all these AI features” and then did all of them without even thinking.

I see like 50 mentions and alcohol and energy drinks. I got something different.

Kombucha.

Holy shit, it’s like a soda that went off, and I don’t even like soda. It is pungent and awful and I hate that it’s marketed so well. Any time I see it on a shelf I’m like “Ooh, what’s this fancy looking juice? That’s a nice looking bottle. Oh, it’s Kombucha, I would rather drink a cup of foamy dog vomit”

Asked what Washington was going to do about the risk of plague spreading from Russia, Trump said he had not spoken to the Kremlin about it.

“I hate to see them having it,” he said, but added: “We’ll help. Everybody who has that kind of a problem, we’ll always help.”

Also Trump: They could take out a city. Let 'em take out Los Angeles, let 'em take out San Diego. This is a ​very small price to pay.

If it’s not clear who he works for, you’re really fucking stupid.

I have it the other way around. I recognize the fuck out of people and can never remember their names. I can be like “Oh yeah, that’s the dude that so-and-so introduced me to at that BBQ in the park 10 years ago. It was cold that day for fall, he said he was good at the piano. His name? No fucking idea”

Like I can remember so many details about so many things. Names? In one ear and out the other. You could shake my hand and tell me your name and I wouldn’t remember it after a 3 minute conversation. But I could repeat everything else about the conversation directly back to you.

Hell yeah.

“And the president said he plans to name an “AI czar” in the next three or four days.”

It’s probably going to be fucking Kid Rock or some other unqualified Trump simping cronie.

And then they made a video game about the guerilla warfare in Nicaragua and everybody was like “hell yeah”

/s if not obvious.

Not yet. But it feels like the squeeze is getting tighter every month that passes. It feels like I can’t get through a day without having to spend money on some shit. And I’m not talking about luxuries. I’m not talking about avocado toast or coffee. I’m talking about fixing shit in my coop apartment. Getting new brakes on my car. Getting clothes for my kids. New shoes because mine literally have a hole worn through them. I try to go with low cost options. I buy food in bulk and meal prep. It feels like the system is nickel and dime-ing me harder and harder every day. I’m trying to stay optimistic, but the future feels bleak. Capitalism is bleeding us dry while keeping us alive. We are the prisoners of financial vampires.

Juggalos are pretty out there. Huffing nitrous, and drinking shitty beer and root beer? And they are super proud of it. I’m pretty sure there’s meth involved. I don’t think they do much harm to anybody but themselves, and maybe anybody they influence into becoming a juggalo. But man, what a weird group of people.
