  • I’m going to take all the sacrifices my parents made to help ensure I have a successful life.

    I’m going to have no problem getting a great job with, or without education.

    I’m going to get into the housing market on a basic salary no problem.

    I’m going to bring kids into this world, and make sure they earn their own way.

    I’m going to shame them into leaving home as early as possible, make them rent for most of their life and wonder why they don’t buy a house so they can make money on their investments.

    Oh, by the way, i’ll make a ton more money on other peoples kids paying my second, third investment properties mortgage off with their rent.

    Then i’ll live a glorious retirement, fully aware that my kids retirement is probably not going to happen ever.


  • I think that is a tough one. As long as we accept the value of a thing is what people are willing to pay for it, the prices will always climb.

    For essential products and services, the value should be based only on the effort required to provide or produce it.

    The main reason we’re dealing with our current inflation has everything to do with the amount of cash flowing upwards from the working class to the boardroom and shareholders.

    The prices are going up on essential items because people can’t afford to not buy gas, or not eat, or not rent. They need those to stay employable, and they slowly sacrificed everything else to keep those. So the price goes up, and people keep buying it, telling the heartless corporations that they can raise the prices more.

    Now we have significant portions of the population using short term loans or payment plans to buy their next weeks groceries.







  • That is such a huge waste of material.

    When a monitor supports both display port and hdmi port, they need to supply 2 6 foot cables just in case? And what happens when 6ft isn’t enough for a specific situation. You need to then buy an extra one just in case?

    Also, when buying replacements, the cables are totally unnecessary.

    We have a bad enough problem with E waste. Making it worse for the sake of the tiniest convenience for the average consumer is ridiculous.




  • I love your optimism.

    But at some point, you have to look around and say this isn’t business as usual anymore right?

    Maybe we’re not there for you yet, but have you set up your own lines where you can say, once they’ve crossed that line, it’s not okay?

    My lines were way back when he promised to chase down dangerous criminals, and they started rounding up day labourers. When they tried to pretend due process was unnecessary and undeserved by the people they didn’t like.

    When they deployed military units in domestic cities under the completely bogus claims of emergencies.

    Nothing they say is true, because the only thing they treat as true, is whatever is most expedient to them in any given moment.

    There is no legal or traditional way of running the government that is safe from their perverting intentions.
