I know her parents didn’t name her Mexican scientist. Tf be up with these headlines? It’s 2026.

The U.S. economy basically works like this: Get paid $5,200. Pay $2,200 in rent. $650 for groceries. $550 for your car payment, insurance, and gas. $450 for health insurance and medical bills. $350 for utilities and internet. Stretch whatever’s left until the next paycheck. Then get a lecture from someone who bought their house for $95,000 in the early ’90s about how skipping lattes and Netflix is the key to building wealth.

Meanwhile the average American still can’t afford a full tank of gas.

We have this, but kids cancer research was deemed wasteful spending.

i used to fear mamdani was too young to oversee a city like new york and now i realize our politicians should ... have energy? and stamina?

BOOMER: “Just buy a house instead of renting.” ME: “Average house is $420,000.” BOOMER: “Get a mortgage then.” ME: “Rates are at 7%. That’s $2,800 a month.” BOOMER: “Cut back on expenses.” ME: “I don’t eat out. I don’t travel. I drive a 2015 Civic.” BOOMER: “Maybe get a second job.” Funny how every solution means working more for a system that keeps making the finish line further away. But nobody ever tells the banks to lower the rates.

Remember when they got mad about how Michelle Obama planting a vegetable garden would ruin the landscaping.

Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks. daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs. college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars. everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.

youngsters don't know this but twitter used to be bird themed. the bird icon. bird house for home. egg for new account. never forget what they took from us

A little girl in Boston went home one day and asked her Nigerian mother if she could change her name to Zoe. Nobody at school could say Uzoamaka. Her mother was cooking. She didn't even turn around. "If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky, Michelangelo, and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka." That girl kept her name. Then she went to Hollywood and won three Emmy Awards. And now the whole world knows exactly how to say Uzoamaka Aduba. Your name is not a burden. It's a prophecy.

90 years later, people r still in the exact same place

My wife and I were talking last night about groceries. I went back into my Walmart app and pulled up an order from January 2020. 30 items. $70.20. I added every single one back to the cart today. $165.42. Same 30 items. Same store. Same cart. $95 more, In six years. They told us inflation was temporary. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was recovering. My grocery bill didn’t get the memo. 135% increase in six years and nobody in Washington has missed a single meal.

you don’t understand how refreshing it is to see a 58-year-old woman on my screen that has lines and wrinkles and a full life lived written across her face ruth gemmell, you are fine as fuck

I lived in an apartment for five years. 2018-2023 Rent went from $900 to $1800. Five years.

A Dollar General employee with diabetes started feeling the symptoms of a hypoglycemic episode while working at the cash register. She grabbed a $1.69 orange juice from the store and drank it to stabilize her blood sugar, then paid for it after the medical emergency passed. She did pay for it. But the company fired her anyway, calling it “grazing” because she consumed the item before purchase. Later, a jury sided with her and awarded her $277,565 total, including $27,565 in back pay and $250,000 in compensatory damages.

Zohran Mamdani is 34 years old. YOUNG PEOPLE CAN LEAD EFFECTIVELY. You don't have to be 70 with "life experience" to do a good job.
