I like these flavored oatmeals; they come in boxes of maybe 8 packets, but you’ve gotta use two packets at the same time if you want to fill your belly. I had to resupply my oatmeals, so I went to the grocery store. The cashier told me it was six dollars for the box. I said it out loud in the line at the little local grocery store, “Six dollars!?” Six dollars is a lot of money for 4 days of oatmeal. I was on my way to the store, thinking it would come to maybe 3–3.50$, but nope, six dollars.
The cost of living is too damn high! Think about that; it costs money to live. Just as an abstract concept, the cost of living is preposterous. Can’t afford to live? Well, go die, I guess. What the fuck. It’s not like there isn’t enough food and housing available on the planet to take care of everybody. But no, you’ve gotta monetize and commodify our very existence. Who thinks this is a good idea?
I don’t like it. No, sir, I don’t like it. It costs money to be here, and honestly, I’m really not having a good time, so I feel like I should get some kind of refund. Like, I want to speak to the manager of living. If living has a cost, someone is getting paid, somewhere. You know what? fuck them.
Don’t even come to me with the “inflation” shit. I’m not an economist, but to me, it just looks like corporations are jacking prices up as far as will be publicly acceptable. And they are all posting record profits every fiscal quarter. They’re getting away with it, obviously; people blame Joe Biden. There actually is no governing body of this country other than the interests of corporate America. The whole government is a farce, not in a QAnon way, but the deep state is actually all of the lobbyists that throw money around people who are making the rules for everyone. Tell me why it’s okay for members of Congress to trade the stocks of the companies they are supposed to be regulating.
I don’t know; I just wanted to write, and this came out.
THE COST OF LIVING IS TOO HIGH, BUY ME A COFFEE, or a box of oatmeal. https://ko-fi.com/evr0ck17
