This is why everyone who isn't a cis hetero white Christian man absolutely needs to buy a gun and learn how to use it. It's your job to defend yourself. (Don't get me wrong, allies are great, and people should be helping each other against the bigots, but end of the day, you're alone, gotta defend yourself)

Edit: also, I'm really sorry that happened, not trying to blame the victim, just advocating for people taking their power back

raising min wage doesn't raise prices... that's conservative bullshit

"we find prices grow by 0.36 percent for every 10 percent increase in the minimum wage."

Fair enough... Not sure what that term would be other than "oligarchs" or 1%... Although it's really more like the richest 1% of the richest 1%

Honestly that's my big fear as far as any "revolution" goes... That people won't recognize the oligarchs separate from just the richest person they know. Like, someone with a big house in your neighborhood, is almost certainly not oligarch levels of destroy society and the world, but they'll be accessable while Elon and the banksters won't be.

"A monopoly is a market structure with a single seller or producer that assumes a dominant position in an industry or a sector. Monopolies are discouraged in free-market economies because they stifle competition, limit consumer substitutes, and thus, limit consumer choice." ~investopedia

Nothing about needing to jack prices up. I'd say Amazon fits the description perfectly

That explains why the oligarchs are trying so hard to get Kamala to fire FTC leadership

No one is pointing the finger at regular people... The problem is that the richest 10% own 93% of all stocks, and the 1% own 54%. The 1% often IS the bankers, and they did create the system, and they paid the politicians to pass it. You're just muddying the waters.

No one is attacking you for your 401k... The problem is that the richest 10% own 93% of all stocks, and the 1% own 54%. Your 401k almost certainly falls into that 7% the peasants "own". When we point a finger at "stock holders" we're talking about the relatively small group that owns everything and would rather kill everyone than share the wealth equitably.

Hey, while I agree with the others that it could be depression, there are a number of things that could be going on, but all of them are mental health related. I hope you're in a country that has at least started to take mental health seriously. Could be codependent attachment, or ADHD, etc... you should definitely get her professional help. You could offer to go to couples counseling to ease her into it without making it feel like you're attacking her. Say you feel like you're struggling with communicating in your relationship and you'd like the two of you to see a counselor to help figure that out. If you find a good therapist they should recognize that's there's an issue with your wife and possibly suggest individual counseling as well. Good luck!
