@miles_commodore It is an accounting term. It is not racist. When accounting shows the bottom line in red, the business is losing money. When bottom line is in black, the business is making money. Black Friday is the day stores are expected to start showing a profit for the year.

As a woke hardcore leftist I feel the urge to complain about something. Why is it called Black Friday? I’m offended and demand an immediate name change and apology.

Not investing is how you end up on Walmart floors in your 60s. Start now.

@JustAMomNamedMM If you are paying rent, it is not your house. Your landlord might be experiencing higher property taxes or higher insurance costs.

I won’t be able to stay in my house after this year because the landlord has raised the rent every year for the 6 years I’ve lived here. I can’t afford my house anymore. This is not the way.

My 9 year old and I were talking about taxes while we were out shopping. I told him taxes help pay for things like roads and basic services. He looked at me and said, “Then why are the roads so bad here in Michigan? Sounds like they’re not doing their job… so why should we pay?” Out of the mouths of kids.

“My paycheck goes straight to rent — and there’s nothing left.” Ten years of higher education. A “good” job. No splurges. No safety net. Still dead broke after rent. “I paid rent this morning. I have $47 left. This is what ‘doing everything right’ gets you.”

@james_xond Retirement sucks.. let people enjoy working if they want. If their skills and knowledge have a value to an employer, let them work.

Should retirement be mandatory at 50 so people finally have real time to enjoy life?

@Simon_Ingari You can not possibly be in the USA. Nobody gets a $50,000 a month job without knowing what is expected if them or what the job entails.

Boss Salary: 450,000/month Employee Salary: 50,000/month Boss sends a three-word email: “Fix this ASAP” Employee drafts a detailed report, stays online till midnight and even joins weekend calls. Still gets told: “You need to be more productive.” Boost: Boss gets a 1.2 million bonus and a 25% salary increase. Employee gets: 4,000 supermarket voucher and a notebook that says “Team Player of the Month.” Corporate Karma 🔁

As a Gen Xer, I can tell you boomers and even my own generation comparing their 20s to today’s 20-30 year-olds needs to stop. I paid $600 for a West Hollywood apartment at 23. Today it’s $3500. Burgers weren’t $20, they were $6 to $8 in a nice restaurant. Life is not comparable. It’s a completely different world now.

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

@Bitcoin_Teddy You were not drafted into the Vietnam War... or live under that cloud. You didn't deliver newspaper on foot because you couldn't afford a bike. You didn't have a job at 14 years old. You didn't live without a cell phone.

My friend was offered a salary of 300,000, a good hike over his previous 200,000 He took it & joined next Monday without even giving a notice in his previous company On Friday, when he bid goodbye to a co-worker & told them to have a good weekend The co-worker laughed at his face & said, 'We work 6 days a week' He was shocked, went home, did not show up on Saturday & did not pick any calls Finally, he came back to office on Monday, to his old office He told then that he had an emergency at home, that's why he was missing for a week Lesson: Be keen when you are joining a new job. Maybe the new employer is worse than your current one

@SenDuckworth Since you have not come up with bill of your own, we can see you want the election process to stay the same.. a process Americans on both sides are losing faith in... A vote No is a vote to save the fraud.

The SAVE Act is not about stopping voter fraud. It was designed to serve the fraud in the White House. Trump knows his policies aren’t popular so he is desperate to stop Americans from having their voices heard. It’s the “Save Trump’s Ass Act.” I will vote no.

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion. For $22.8 billion, we could: • Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids • Build 2.6 million public housing units • Fund Head Start for 1.3 million • Hire 240,000 teachers • Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

@BourbonFreeman0 @Marcabe71 @RossKneeDeep Oh, we should not bad mouth you and expect you to take it but it is okay for Iran to chant "Death to America" for nearly 50 years, to support terror. We are suppose to take those death threats but if other countries get their feeling hurt, that is a problem?

One thing that every American needs to understand is that our allies haven't abandoned us because they don't want to help us. They've abandoned us because of the way Trump has treated them. He is not good for America.

The European Union has rejected President Trump’s call for allied naval support to secure the Strait of Hormuz. The European Union says, “This is not Europe’s war,” and is basically telling the United States, “You’re on your own.” “Nobody wants to go actively into this war.”
