Yeah this is the truth.
Bartender friend I knew bragged about how he always underpaid taxes. Guy was a UFO/lizard people run banks/illuminati kinda guy and even bought crypto and NFTs.
Well, he made big bank and quit bartending. Big show of it and bought everyone drinks for the whole night because he was practically a millionaire. (Assuming. Didn't really ask)
But came back last year because he needed to make money and constantly blames the IRS for taking everything.
Grew up in the ghetto of the US.
Would watch Fresh Prince and Family Matters and like "WOW look at that. Their house is so pristine. Everything looks new. Everyone has their own room. People sit at a dining table."
My house was dark, smelled funny, full of random junk and we'd have mattresses on the floor to fit a large family.
All my hood friends had the same experience. I had friends whose bedroom also their living rooms.
Now I have friends who have a lot of money. 6 figure incomes and everything. Their house is slightly better looking, but that's about it. Still full of stuff. Messy if you surprise them on a off day.
Average American is no longer the standard for quality living.
They closed like half the Starbucks in my city. Every single one that considered Unionizing was shut down.
But out came a LOT of new local coffee shops, and more are opening.
Looks like you fucked up real good, Starbucks.
Awful taste? Yeah.
Great execution? I mean the lines are kinda straight so yeah I'll accept that
What's hilarious is the tariffs appear in their "Haul" storefront, which is just their version of Temu. It's pretty new like a few months old and an attempt at stealing business from those other apps.
So you're telling me that a online shopper would stumble on Amazon Haul, never ever knowing about the many other discount e-commerce stores, and won't quickly piece together WHY things are priced that way?
They read the first answer the AI gives them.
This is why Im terrified of my parents learning how to use ChatGPT.
My dad still falls for satire. It took us years to convince him the tabloids in supermarkets about Bigfoot weren't real.
He's not a smart guy. But He's still my dad though.
I watched some of the newer episodes out of boredom. I was really surprised! They're pretty good.
They're not all incredible or anything. But they have a lot more soul to them than a lot of the obvious celebrity circle jerk episodes of the mid 2000s.
My wife and I have had fights where we were so angry at each other that we leave the area.
But after we make up, we cry about how much we miss each other.
That is my life.
And one time, I saw a blimp!
It's hilarious. There's a bunch of reviews on Yelp/Google maps calling those businesses out in my city.
Want to support MAGA? Tough.
Two funny things that happened to me.
I shared a link to a friend about an event based on their hobby. They said "See you at 9am". We then spent a strange hour texting back and forth, trying to clear up the "mixed messages" that I am not attending the event.
At a co-working space, a guy spends 10 minutes talking about a YouTube video he saw. He then proceeds to go to the white board, and in detail, write the ENTIRE URL of the YouTube video, and whatever extra stuff. I'm talking about a 60 character link, handwritten, and requested everyone watch it themselves, so there's no confusion.
Gotta love it.
Doubt it.
Trump presidency #1, he removed disability insurance, food stamps, Affordable Care Act work. A lot of it was rolled back.
But you know what? The Maga cucks still went to every god damn live event praising this numskull.
They don't care.
