Indeed. The aroma is starting to fill the entire house.

Oh absolutely. I wasn’t even raised on them because my American parents turned down their noses at them. As an adult, however, a coworker introduced me to the brown sugar cinnamon ones…and they happen to be sold at my place of employment, so when I roll out of bed too late to make breakfast….

They are objectively awful, and I experience a mild self-repulsion every time I eat a pack. But the sugar is addicting.

Fuck. I hate that you’re absolutely right.

quickly hides the wrappers for the pop tarts and candy bar I had for breakfast

Honestly, a nutrient-rich breakfast sounds amazing right now. Obviously, the sugar didn’t satisfy.

Society will just reorganize to provide. There are a ton of bullshit jobs out there that don’t need to be filled. The higher pay (specifically designed to be high to attract workers) will attract people to work the homes.

Nah, tax the billionaires to bring money back to the working class and to fund the nursing homes. There are enough resources to support an elderly population, it’s all just being hoarded by assholes.

Because that worked so well before.

Oh definitely. I think they’re being offered a horrible deal. But I can see how some might be inclined to take the shitty deal if their current financial situation is in fact one of desperation. I hope their citizens are in better shape than Americans.

Desperate is the right word, and I think they’re intending to make people more desperate in order to exert control.

I’m not saying a $10k gift would be life-changing, but it would pay off a significant amount of my debt, freeing up a lot of my monthly cash flow.

Is it “coke” or “cock”?

I wonder how fast and much daily fashion will change. Like, no more knitted or crocheted items, or their resale value will go way up.

What the hell kind of country are we becoming. Without fears of consequences for ruining water and land, the environmental systems that support all life around the world are at risk. Regarding being pardoned for financial crimes, all Americans and anyone who interacts with the American financial system are at risk of losing everything. Becoming debtor slaves or serfs with hardly a dollar to their name.
