Mother May I

[Black Girl @t_sadiity]

yall don’t think it’s WEIRD , that CPS will potentially take your kids if you’re struggling (unable to feed them , clothe them , pay for necessary medicines , etc.) 🤔 and then once your kids are taken , they put them in a home with another family , and then give THEM money every month to take care of your kids ??

is that not a fucked up system ?!

We have a trillionaire, and you're upset at people using SNAP to buy Chips Ahoy?

How about medicine, food and shelter you fucking prick
This is just using veterans as guinea pigs.

The U.S. economy basically works like this:

Get paid $5,200.

Pay $2,200 in rent.
$650 for groceries.
$550 for your car payment, insurance, and gas.
$450 for health insurance and medical bills.
$350 for utilities and internet.

Stretch whatever’s left until the next paycheck.

Then get a lecture from someone who bought their house for $95,000 in the early ’90s about how skipping lattes and Netflix is the key to building wealth.

I told someone that some people are so poor, they can't afford to get jobs. He laughed. But I wasn't kidding cause gas money, child care expenses, and lack of clothing to meet dress code requirements are often barriers to employment for low income individuals.
Now you know.

So glad he’s getting excellent government funded care after spending his entire political career trying to block everyone else from having the same.

Désolée mais je pense que dépenser de l’argent pour rendre la vie impossible aux SDF plutôt que pour les aider c’est le symbole parfait d’un système dépourvu d’humanité

I don't think people fully understand how much 1 billion is

if your salary was 100k with no tax it would take you 10 years to become a millionaire but 10,000 years to reach a billion

It is unethical for one person to be hoarding this much money when others cannot eat

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

People really compare dyinġ from poverty to Darwin’s “survival of the fittest.”

Poverty is a social construct driven by wealth hoarding in the post industrial age, not by any natural shortage of resources.

Living in America used to feel like winning the lottery.

What happened?

Why do accept $2500 rent for an apartment that used to be $1200 just a few years ago?

Why do we accept $150 grocery trips that don't keep us fed for more than a few days?

Why do we accept stagnant wages when we work harder than anyone else?

We need to come together and fix this.

While we still can.

Imagine advertising luxury villas in Nazi Germany during Holocaust. That's the level of tone-deaf we're witnessing

A $7 increase in over 80 years, fvcking shameful

The worst thing streaming services did was convince people that 8 episodes is a full season.

"Almonds consume more water" Almonds are food, AI is not.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."

Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.

[DabTheInk @DabTheInk]

Comparing Taylor Swift to artist like Michael Jackson & Beyonce is absolutely absurd. I dont care if she sold 1 Zillion records/concert tickets

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

America has enough food to feed every hungry person in it.

3 times over.

We throw away 80 million tons of food per year.

Meanwhile 44 million Americans are food insecure.
13 million of them are children.

We don't have a food supply problem.

We have a distribution problem.
We have a profit problem.
We have a who-deserve-to-eat problem.

Hunger in America is not a natural disaster.

It's a policy choice.

Made by people who have never been hungry.

I’m trying to figure out how we went from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building AI pollution factories in every city.
