Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
When the beefy 5 layer burrito was introduced at Taco Bell in 2009 it was .89 cents. It is now 5 dollars. Even adjusting for inflation it should only be about $1.39.
But nah foods not more expensive don't worry guys!
What kills me about this "just cook at home, eat more beans" discourse is the HYPOCRISY. Before the election, it was "groceries are more expensive because of Biden! it's his fault!" non-stop. Now? It's "be more frugal, y'all are just wasting $ buying FOOD."
I hate this type of defeatist attitude. if this is a 2-3 job economy, workers need to strike. there is no time or logistical method to make this sustainable.
So that's a yes, you are against funding to things like the Iron Dome?
Abdul El-Sayed: "I am against it, in large part because I just don't understand why anybody thinks it's the right thing to do to send our tax dollars abroad, to fund foreign militaries when our own kids barely get to go to schools that are functional."
The federal minimum wage hasn’t been raised since 2009 while housing, groceries, healthcare, and rent have skyrocketed. Let’s all pretend adults living with their parents is a mystery.
I'm sorry to folks who genuinely collect sealed products, but this HAS to be done, because scalping is getting out of hand. Products should be widely available at msrp.
If doing this means more fans get to actually open and collect cards, then I think it's worth it.
