In 2023-2024 I had a job where I quickly became aware that I was working much harder than they were paying me and I started to track every dollar against my efforts, becoming increasingly aware & bitter that 37% of my time there I was breaking my body as an unpaid volunteer because that’s how much the govt was deducting from my paychecks. And the net pay I was left with was not enough to survive. So glad I escaped & found a slightly better situation.

Aw, I should call my kids & see how they’re doing 🥲

I try not to be an annoying mother and I let them live their lives, but maybe they feel like I’m neglecting them? I don’t know.

What year did they change that?

But apartment rental? Car?

And something about it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to go to heaven.

Yeah there’s a bit of good and evil in everyone & everything. Except Trump. He’s just pure evil.

So as a consequence of those awful predatory student loans, you can’t buy a house or finance a car or get approved for an apartment or loan?

Did it used to be escapable by filing bankruptcy or something?

We’re not wimps, weaklings, or cowards. We’re simply not allowed to walk up to Trump’s house, knock on his door, tell him everything he’s doing is atrocious, and tell him to stop it, and we’re not allowed to do all the other illegal things we wish we could do to him either. We’d end up in prison or dead. If anyone decides to do any of that, he’d be a heroic Luigi, but Luigi is rotting away in prison now. And/or we need a large scale united front uprising. We must study ants and learn from them how to unite a million people to accomplish one big task together.

I remember when those blinds used to cost $5. I went through so many of those. Because you get what you pay for, they get destroyed so easily. But I bet they cost a lot more than that nowadays. Everything costs too much these days.

Fun! Now do one about doctors who dress like Jesus.

True but it’s impossible to default on FAFSA loans. That stuff hangs over people until it’s paid or until they die.

Honestly a lot of education doesn’t stick either way. Repetition and living the lessons is what really makes learning stick.

I’m doing my part by upvoting your comment.

It’s hard to tell the difference between a joke or an autocorrect typo these days

Okay well it seems like you speak Spanish then

Maybe it is a hair on your screen because I’m not seeing what you’re seeing.

Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat, otherwise we get along 🎵

Ok so tell us what parilla means.
