Funny how debt is forgivable when it’s tied to yachts, hedge funds, or billionaires’ failed businesses. Tax breaks, subsidies, bailouts, and legal protections appear overnight. But when it’s tied to education, healthcare, or survival, it becomes a character flaw.
you talk to some whos 21 on twitter and realize yo brain really don’t finish developing till 25 but then you see a 27 year old on here with the same thinking process as the 21 year old and realize all this shit fake asf and we all going to hell
Wild animals don't get depressed in nature. They get depressed in captivity. Now look at modern human life and try to spot the difference. We built our own cages and wonder why everyone is medicated and miserable.
Do you ever get the feeling that it’s all wrong? traffic, malls, smartphones, 9-5, stacked living, debt, guns anything that isn’t streams, fields, trees, fresh produce, quiet, slow living, and real community. Does it ever hit you in the gut that we’ve messed it all up?
In American slang we often refer to money as “benjamins” this is a subtle reference to Benjamin Netanyahu, an American folk figure who takes all of our money
Remember: The victim of narcissist abuse is usually the one “crashing out” and visually upset. The abuser is the one keeping composure and telling everyone else “See, look at how crazy they are.”
Hypothetically........ I'm being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in.
If I bought my property outright for $120,000 in 2001
Now the county says it’s worth $499,100.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $499,100? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That's the problem.
This isn't income.
This isn't cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper - and now I'm being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don't pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn't increase, I don't magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn't just an investment, it's where people live.
And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don't truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn't about "services" or "inflation."
It's about being charged for value you never received.
And people are starting to notice.
"Trickle down economics doesn't work, so let's try piñata economics. That's the one where we beat the billionaires until the hoarded wealth falls out."
Explaining to children that they shouldn't worry about a career because the world will be completely unlivable in 15 years and that death will be a sweet relief from living in a nuclear wasteland is probably the hardest part of working at Build-A-Bear.
the state of grocery stores alone should make ppl riot, but most ppl really are just like "well we have to make more money" instead of making sure rich folks get no sleep or peace
