        They’re gonna happen eventually if nothing improves. There’s a breaking point to this all that we are on a collision course with.

        They wouldnt be trying to throw trans people, women’s rights, immigrants etc. under the bus so hard if they weren’t desperate for the distraction. Genocide is the last gasp of empires as they fail. And we will fall if trump wins or further damages democracy.

      Garnish your wages, tank your credit (which usually only matters when you decide to borrow more money, but it also comes up whenever you apply to rent a new apartment, for instance), continue to make 3% of every transaction you make even with a debit card.

      Most corporations run on debt at one time or another. The difference is that regular people can’t get enough debt to trick investors into thinking they’re succeeding.
