“Your 9-5 is not permanent, it’s supposed to fund your dream”
Bro my 9-5 cannot fund my transport and rent conveniently, how is it supposed to fund my dream.
How the fuck is anyone earning minimum wage, or anywhere close to it, in the UK actually supposed to live on their own?
The maths just doesn't work anymore.
You can work full time, every week, and end up with roughly £1,700 a month after tax, National Insurance and pension contributions.
Then take £800 for rent if you're lucky enough to find somewhere that cheap, £120 for council tax, around £350 for your other household bills, and another £80 a week just to put food in the fridge.
And that's before you've paid for your phone, transport, clothes, toiletries or anything unexpected.
By the time you've paid for the basics, there's practically nothing left.
No meaningful savings. No emergency fund. No money to actually enjoy your life.
And we're still told to be grateful because "minimum wage is going up."
Going up to what? A wage that still leaves you broke after you've paid for the privilege of existing?
Work full time, do everything you're told you're supposed to do, and somehow you're still one unexpected bill away from being fucked.
At what point are we going to admit that something has gone seriously wrong?
Prices in the UK have absolutely lost the plot
£12 for fish and chips
Almost £2 per litre for fuel
£45 for a driving lesson
Over £2 for a bottle of pop
£20 for a takeaway for one person
£20 for a 15 minute taxi
Weekly food shop for one person £80
£100 a night for a "cheap" hotel
Rent prices through the roof
At this point we're just getting robbed.
children are not stupid i’m so tired of everyone pretending children are not capable of handling big topics like genocide. people their age are EXPERIENCING genocide. you are not protecting children because you refuse to inform them on what’s going on in the world
Kanye West did a song titled Heil Hitler and is currently doing a concert tour, which has included multiple dates at Raymond James stadium in Tampa that has banned Macklemore for saying end the genocide & free Palestine
fucking absurd

Dolly Parton was out here funding programs dedicated to children's education & science research, we lost someone who was using her resources for good 🥲
Now I bet you £5 million that if they had been Mohamad, Mustafa, Adil, Ali or Ahmad.... there would be riots all over the UK.... stoked by you know who!
