BOOMER: "Nobody wants to work anymore."
YOU: "I work 50 hours a week."
BOOMER: "Doing what, on a computer?"
YOU: "Yes. It pays $58,000."
BOOMER: "I made $18,000 and owned a house."
YOU: "That's the whole point."
BOOMER: "We didn't complain, we just worked."

You didn't outwork us.
You just lived in the version of the country where working was enough.
Caitlin Clark is quite literally the worst thing that ever happened to the WNBA. She put eyes on a sport that didn't have anyone paying attention to the fact that it's players are fucking morons, and it's commissioner is even fucking dumber. They were better off in obscurity.
JUST IN: WNBA Commissioner announces the league is meeting to review what a woman is, after multiple former NBA stars announced plans to join the league.
That trash basketball player being funny but you put him in pick and roll defense in the w them girls getting buckets on his goofy ass so he might wanna shutup lol

Not to change the subject from burritos but when I was earning poverty wages in my 20s I used to go to Subway nearly every day and get a footlong Italian sub for 5 dollars. It was generally the only big meal I would eat in a day.
If I was hungry later at night, I could always swing by McDonald’s and grab a chicken sandwich for a dollar.
All of these people are screaming about “eating at home” but I basically never made meals at home in those days and I was able to get by. You used to be able to survive on low wages without making meals from scratch. If that’s not possible anymore then it’s a sign that our standard of living is declining. That’s a problem. You should care about that.
Anyway, I went to a Subway recently and that same sandwich was 13 dollars. McDonald’s, of course, doesn’t sell anything for a dollar anymore.
I'm told Affordability isn't a Problem
I'm told i can just cook at home
Yet, i can go through my Purchase History, the price for the Exact same Product and Exact same Weight has Doubled since 2023.
There are 42 states that hold Bartenders and Waiters accountable if the customers they over serve kill someone but 0 states that hold Judges and Parole Boards accountable if the criminals they release kill someone.
Insane.
I truly don’t think Skubal full gets it
No other team traded for you because you and your agent made it glaringly obvious you wanted to be a LA Dodger after this season and into free agency.
