When I first started working at minimum wage, you could buy 3 packs of decent cigarettes for an hour’s worth of labor

For the last few years the places I have lived, one pack of cigarettes is about $17. So over 2 hours worth of work at the minimum wage just for one pack of smokes

Now, this may sound like an old fogey story, but perhaps the point is that I entered the workforce when minimum wage was like $7.35 an hour less than 15 years ago, and I already have old fogey economic stories

Fast food is a similar story. It’s something bad for our health but was more excusable back when it was cheaper relative to wages. The fuck would I work myself to death just to be able to smoke a dart or eat a garbage hamburger?

If anything Im honestly kind of pissed that Temu and these garbage companies found a way to keep funneling this shit here. Id be perfectly happy if we somehow banned this shit entirely from being sold.

Just ban all the 10¢ junk companies across the board. The shit isnt worth the exhaust gasses of the ships it sails in on. Force US consumers to buy half-decent products from local stores or non-junk companies

I just wanted some McDonalds, but they said I’d tried to flee!

This mysterious pipe inside my bags’ for whackin’ turtles, see?

Manhattan on a Monday morning is a place I’d never be

If they try me by a jury then you know surely I’ll go free

According to his math, around seven-eighths of all Albertans who just voted for the federal Conservatives would have to back sovereignty for a "Yes" side to win.

7 out of 8 people who vote conservative would have to vote for something stupid?

Welcome to America, Alberta, I guess

In the military, doing something to surprise a commanding officer is among the highest displays of respect. Especially if you can make it costs tens of millions of dollars
