- Normalize getting rid of the 40hr work week. Abolish it.
- Why the hell are movies so dark now? What’s going on with the lighting? All these shadows makes it difficult to watch.
- I’ve never seen a headline more relatable in my life. Word for word.Hiker lost for 24 hours ignored calls from rescuers because of unknown number trib.al/1JeUr9S
- Not do I only believe working 40hrs is too much, I also believe kids being in school all day is absurd. That’s too much. 25 hrs should be full time work, 30 max. Kids are in school all damn day because parents are at work. No one is effective 40+ hrs a week.
- I don’t ever want to hear “poor people need to learn financial literacy, learn how to save and invest” again in my life. The past 48hrs has proven that’s a lie, the market is fake, and the game is rigged.
- I’ve been saying “who’s that?” to every White person who asks me if I heard about Charlie Kirk, so they have to explain to me who he is, why I would know him, watching them explain in detail the situation and standing in silence as they do so. It’s been an interesting experiment.
- Too many of you are confused about your class status. If you can’t afford to miss a paycheck, you’re the working poor, and part of the 80% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck. If you HAVE to work to survive, you’re working class.
- The battery for my key fob died and I was quoted $150 to replace it. I was NOT paying that. Thanks to YouTube University, and 2 minutes of my time, I was able to replace both for $5.79! They sell these damn CR2032 batteries everywhere. I’m Brenda the Builder bitch!
- The truth is, tickets have priced people out. They’re even more expensive than Renaissance, and people were complaining about those prices. I’m not going because I’m not paying $300-600 for a single ticket.Several media outlets are reporting the massive FAILURE of Beyoncé's vastly UNSOLD "Cowboy Carter Tour". The tour has barely sold out 3/30 shows, with 27 shows still having a lot of unsold tickets. A music industry insider said "Sometimes you don’t retire. The fans retire you."
- Missing on paycheck and immediately needing to go to a food bank says a lot, and we should pause and focus on that. This is a very bad sign as to what’s really going on in this economy. People are down bad.A food bank lined up with military members who didn’t receive a paycheck this week:
- We don’t talk about janitors, cafeteria workers, bus drivers, guidance counselor’s and school administration secretaries enough. They TOO will be at risk when schools start. The pay is already shit for these positions, now we’re asking them to also risk their lives. Unacceptable
- Unpopular opinion: I don’t even want Harriet Tubman on the 20 dollar bill. Honestly I think there’s some sort of perversion in doing so. A woman who was traded as capital becoming the face of capital doesn’t sit right with my spirit.
- Random, but airlines really should people board back to front, not front to back. From an efficiency, an organized standpoint, it would cause less congestion and less chaos. The way it’s done now is stupid and I’ve always thought so.
