    Yes I saw some shit the other day about, “such and such reporting that sales are drastically down since blah blah blah. Where did it all go wrong?”

    Or “Gen whatever is choosing to part ways with blah blah blah. Here’s our guesses as to why!”

    And it’s just, NOBODY HAS FUCKING MONEY!!! That’s it. That’s all it is. There’s no preference. There’s no secret wokeness. There’s no underlying meaning. We are all just fucking broke!

    They took all the money, they refuse to give it back in wages, they jacked up the price, and we are tapping out. HOW THE FUCK IS THIS STILL A GODDAMN MYSTERY?!?!?!

    The only way someone can still be confused about what’s going on is if they’re on purpose being ignorant about it because, “mah market indicators!”

    We are all broke. That’s it, that’s the answer. Media needs to stop with the bullshit. The headline every day needs to be “The world is on fire by rich asshats and the rest of us are too fucking broke to do anything. We are all going to die painfully because of those rich asshats.” And that should be all that’s on the news every hour on the hour. The end.

      Who do you think owns the media?

      The funniest headline I saw the other day was “millenials ditching the guest bedroom”. No asshole, they just can’t afford it, provided they could even afford a house at all.

        The guest bedroom in our millennial home was my room until we got a kid now it’s the couch. Which we found on the side of the road

          Also, in a post covid world I imagine a lot of guest bedrooms are home offices now. As in a dedicated office.

      You need to understand that the media is not your friend. They aren’t legitimately curious, they aren’t truth seekers. They are the propaganda machine at its finest.
