@Trustintrump47 Yup. Could have told you that a while ago. Lol

Turns out the American Dream now looks like making $80,000 a year and still living paycheck to paycheck on purpose.

No trips. No takeout. No shows, no dates, no Netflix. Home-cooked meals only. An 8-year-old car you're praying holds up. A cramped one-bedroom you call "affordable."

Whatever's left gets thrown into a 401k, and somehow that makes you the responsible one. After rent, food, bills, insurance, gas, and everything else that comes with being alive, you're lucky to see $250 left in your account by the end of the month.

That's the new reality of $80K: not comfort, not security, just barely enough to stay afloat. $75,000 used to mean you'd made it. Now it just means you're one bad month away from not keeping up.

‼️ BREAKING: Canada's economic "recovery" just got exposed by StatCan's revisions:

The "shrinking population" excuse for weak growth?

It never happened.

Population was growing the whole time.

Per capita GDP growth was revised DOWN: 0.7%, not the 1.7% they claimed

The Q2 growth that did show up came mostly from oil exports, not policy.

Real unemployment is likely closer to 7.6%, not the 6.7% reported.

The economy was NOT recovering.

The numbers were just hiding how bad it is.

BREAKING: Canada’s GDP per capita has fallen below ALL 50 US states.

The OECD projects Canada will grow just 0.9% in 2026, among the weakest growth in the G7.

Canada is now poorer than Mississippi.

@GuntherEagleman Canada is also failing to keep a log of who leaves! We have a lot more here than we realize.

[Julian Assange @ImJulianAssange]

How the Canadian govt swindled seniors out of their retirement pensions.
The Canadian dollar lost roughly 80% to 85% of its internal purchasing power over the last 50 years because of the relentless compounding of inflation. According to historical tracking from Statistics Canada, a basket of goods that cost $100 in the mid-1970s requires nearly $500 to purchase today. This means that a fixed, uninvested dollar saved in 1976 retains only about 15¢ to 20¢ of its original value in 2026.

NEW - Canadian (and global) bond sell-off intensifies

CAD 30 year yield hits 4.18%, highest since late 2008.

This is the price the Canadian Gov. has to pay to borrow money from investors -- and we're borrowing more every. single. day.

This will put upwards pressure on debt service costs.

Bond yields also affect fixed mortgage rates.

We have heard about nothing but toxic masculinity for the past 20 years

It is now time to address toxic feminism

People DO NOT actually want to become millionaires. They want to stop checking their bank account before buying groceries.

[Lauren Chen @TheLaurenChen]

Is there any way to look at this besides systemic discrimination against men?

JUST IN: Women have accounted for “nearly all” net U.S. payroll job gains since Trump returned to office, with female employment up 765,000 & male employment down roughly 6,000.

@thegenesisbl0ck The world is a giant backwards mess.

[Laura @lauva35]

@thegenesisbl0ck From what I've seen, men don't work that way. They are different. Women, when oppressed, jump to action, become vocal and find solutions. Men tend to hide and cower, giving up completely. Not all but seems like the avg. Feminists succeeded at breaking the status quo but now

[Nadia @thegenesisbl0ck]

Men need to get together and organise some form of male feminism because this is insane.

[Laura @lauva35]

@deaflibertarian Sometimes I think that people with no interest in participating in the investment of future generations shouldn't get a vote. If the chain dies with you, you are only fighting for yourself, which is highly selfish and corrupt.

Landlord: "First month, last month, and security deposit comes to $6,300."

You: "Fine. I'll pay by cashier's check."

Landlord: "We only accept payment through our tenant portal now. There's a $75 'processing and verification fee' per transaction."

You: "You're charging me $75 to hand you money I already owe you?"

Landlord: "It covers the cost of running background checks and maintaining the portal infrastructure."

You: "You already charged me $65 for the background check on the application. And $250 for the 'admin fee' to sign the lease."

Landlord: "Those are separate line items."

You: "Is there a way to avoid the $75?"

Landlord: "You can pay in person with a money order at our corporate office two counties over."

You: "That's a $12 money order fee and half a tank of gas."

Landlord: "Then the portal fee is probably easier."

Property managers aren't just raising rent anymore.

They're unbundling every basic cost of leasing, background checks, paperwork, payment processing, and repackaging each one as its own fee so the advertised rent looks smaller than what actually leaves your account.

🇩🇪 Likely future leader of Germany:

“In my first 100 days. I will close the borders, eliminate social benefits for migrants and carry out Germany’s largest deportations.”

Today her party had a historic election win.

SERIOUS QUESTION: Do you ever really get overwhelmed by how our current reality is a genuine dystopian nightmare yet everyone still acts like it is completely normal ??

@DemonFramed Get them off birth control and SSRIs ...maybe ban them unless used for the right reasons...and I promise they will be feral when they ovulate. Between that and stopping abortion, lots of new babies will be born. People don't understand how much these things mess with a girl.
