When items I use regularly come on special, I'll buy several (if use by date permits). I also check out the meat section every time to see if a close to use by date has been marked down for a quick sale, then I'll pop it in the freezer if I can't use it that night

Corporate greed. Companies like Armour meats have had record shattering profits, which they don't pass on the consumers OR their employees.

The cost of groceries have grown so much my daily meal budget it $8 a day... I've lost so much weight that I'm lightweight embarrassed...

If I ever write a will, I'm going to be ask for my body to be left out for the scavengers of the woods and high deserts I was born in. Circle of life.

Ooph! This one stings

But it’s weird why. I think social interaction with strangers has become so guarded with negative expectations in totally mundane interactions , you just sort of expect poor outcomes.

I agree 100%

fr like did i ask to be born? no.

Are you OK?

The fact that these companies have the audacity to boast about it to the public...

And Biden has nothing to do with causing all this inflation. COVID supply side got messed up to cause the inflated prices, but plain greed prevents the prices from returning to normal again. In fact Biden tried to enact an inflation fighting program that the Republicans blocked.

This is why I use public transit when possible - or walk. Maybe I should acquire a bicycle. I hope that my next car will be all-electric, or at least hybrid-electric. (Please spare me the crud about how electric vehicles are bad because of blah, blah, blah.)

Just like the power companies! It disgusts me!!! I'm from the uk. No matter where you are in the modern world, it's exactly the same.

the world would be so much better if we used airport moving sidewalks to go places, change my mind

Because they can.

Usually, Ticketmaster also owns the venue, too. They're a monopoly.

Just concerts in general. I nearly panicked during my first concert. I couldn't hear myself talk and didn't think anyone could hear me at all. I could sort of make out what they were saying but not quite. Which made it very difficult to find myself. I was sitting in a short row of 8 other people but ended up having to get up for them 30 times during the whole show because of how much they drank. Then they were getting pissed off with me sitting in my paid seat. The lights were blinding and made it impossible to see any of the band members on stage. I have to say it was an experience, though. Just never again and I didn't feel the $120 ticket was worth it.

Ticketmaster is a huge scam.

Because ticket master f*****g sucks.

Blame Debiers. They've had the monopoly since slavery was still legal.

The values of everything is technically artificial. Diamonds are not really that interesting. They're clear, colourless and more like the baby's breath of jewellery.

And they still look like a piece of glass. If you need a an expert with a magnifier to tell if the rock you wear is real - no one else will. I get using diamonds for cutting, but if you need one of the hardest substances we know of to avoid wear and tear of the a regular jewelry you wear - what life are you living???

True that... Russia has so much that if put on market = total crash

Our rule is sign up for one subscription until we're done with that one. But lately we're trying to go the free route. Tubi has some of my favourite shows and zoechip has That 70s Show I'm binging on with my daughter. That plus youtube, and the 200 movies we have at home is a lot of media to last us a long while. I'm often busy working or doing other things anyways.

Several years back I got on the Sling bandwagon. It had the channels I really wanted to watch (unlike the 20+ shopping channels on cable) for $15. 6 months in and Fox Sports is dropped (my baseball games) then Nat Geo is dropped, pretty soon (and 1 or 2 increases later) over half of the channels I bought are gone, but the price keeps going up. Screw them.

And they all keep going up in price. I signed up for youtube tv for $50/mo, in two years it became $72. Cancelled.

10 you "have to use"?
