THEORY:
The reason we Olds don't give a crap about the food struggles of the Youngs, and the reason why the Youngs don't get why the Olds don't feel sorry for them, is as follows:
We Olds grew up eating Swanson TV Dinners and a bland, dried out pot roast and canned green beans on Sundays, so when we moved out of the house and had to live on ramen and microwave burritos for weeks at a time, it was no big deal.
The Youngs, OTOH, grew up in the Golden Age of take out of all kinds, with their parents buying high quality meals of all kinds of cuisines, and with all-natural cooking options of incredible quality from places like Whole Foods in abundance, so ramen and microwave burritos feel like a HUGE step down.
My theory. It could be right, it could be wrong, but it's mine.
@jemillerbalt Remember the Biden administration with the Hellfire missile strike they claimed was a taliban/al qaeda compound? It wasn’t. Nothing happened.
@Jaber_Algayal@AntSpeaks If you want to talk history, Islam conquered, enslaved, and colonized everywhere from India to Morocco, murdered through the Balkans, and continues the practice of slavery to this day.
The IRS is threatening to seize a Tennessee man's farm after charging him interest on a $20,000 refund it accidentally sent him, which he immediately tried to return.
Wilson Perry Kirby, 76, says he was accidentally sent $20,000 by the IRS in 2022.
Kirby immediately tried returning the money and even hired an accountant to fix the issue.
Instead, the IRS is now charging him interest on the money he tried returning and is withholding his 2025 tax refund.
"I've tried the president, governor, mayor. They don't mind asking you to vote for them, but when you need help you can't get ahold of nobody," Kirby said.
Despite trying to fix the problem, the IRS is still sending letters, demanding he pay interest on the money they accidentally sent him that he tried to return. He never spent it.
The IRS is now threatening to seize his farm if he doesn't pay the up to $4300 (and growing) interest.
Infuriating.

@Murphy4Mike@REography_US@BasilTheGreat Ok. Just because one American spews stupidity doesn’t mean you need to as well. Let’s talk about the good Britain: stood up to Hitler, first country to end slavery, gave us Shakespeare, Dickens, Led Zeppelin, and Queen. Please take Harry back, though..
