Why am I supposed to feel sorry for them exactly? My family income is close to 200k and we do all this…

Has a family of four, and it’s inflation that causes her to become like a real adult?

I just don’t buy all the bullshite. The interstates to the beach are more backed up now with $5 gas than they were back in 2019. Everybody is buying new cars, etc etc.


Just went to a show at one of the larger casino/hotels on the Gulf Coast, it was absolutely packed, and no one there looked like they had trouble affording food.

No. Very few average people in the USA have any idea about economic suffering

Americans aren't buying less food (yet), they are buying shittier less healthy cheaper food, which is not good for public health.

You are a truly a dumb motherfricker. You can't think further ahead than you can see a lightning bug. You should see a neurologist.

That's what I see here. A little tightening budgets for some people but I keep to myself.

I did pay for a woman's groceries the other day even though according to some on this site, I'm the biggest a-hole around.

I’d imagine strippers are taking this economy harder than usual. At least when they take a shot to the wallet they can take a shot to the face to balance it out
