@MatrixMysteries They obviously checked your social media accounts and realized you didn't have the mental competence they required for cashiers.

“I got denied by Walmart to be a cashier — and I’ve got a MASTER’S degree.” “I applied to 300 jobs. ONLY eleven even responded.” A generation sold the college ticket. Now the ticket doesn’t even get you in the door.

@_adamdoug @CompletedStreet They probably quit selling it because noone use the gas station as a fruit stand. I also don't go to a fresh meat market and expect to be able to buy a quart of oil and a gallon of antifreeze.

@CompletedStreet correct - 15 years ago in England, local grocery stores partnered with gas stations to provide super fresh produce at the small stores. Here in 2026 in the USA, you get a crappy, soft tuna salad sandwich if you are lucky.

Other countries: Fresh, affordable food available within walking distance of every neighborhood. U.S.: 15 brands of genetically modified hyper-processed ice cream that requires a $35,000 vehicle to access.

@CompletedStreet Such a lie. There's not a grocery store every mile in Mexico or Canada or anywhere else.

@the_transit_guy Are the two largest metro areas in Alberta connected by train? How about in Saskatchewan?

Only in the USA would you have the two biggest metros in a state, 80 minutes away from each other, with no train service.

@NoNameGirl8686 @jrzygrl719 If you're Gen-X, I guarantee at no point in your life did you spend 1/4 of your food budget on food delivery. Maybe the occasional pizza, but not 2 or 3 nights per week.

@jrzygrl719 I’m Gen X. I have lived experience of what was and was not affordable when I was late teens and early 20s. Inflation, corporate greed, and inept government has priced them out of the things we easily had access to.

What else is there to do? They can’t afford concerts, movies, bowling, amusement parks, sports games, clubs, etc. Is the American dream now to sit in your house eating PB&J except for when you are at work?

@NoNameGirl8686 Gen Z spending 22% of their food budget on delivery means they don't mind eating at home, they're just too lazy (or too dumb) to cook.

@LorrieBoca @MatrixMysteries If its one thing we need in this country, its more homeless type-2 diabetics.

@MatrixMysteries They could donate them to a homeless shelter. This is pathetic.

An American filmed what his local Krispy Kreme does with unsold donuts. Straight into the trash. After private equity took over, the price of a dozen climbed to $22. And instead of selling them at a discount… They’d rather WASTE the food than lower the profit margin.

@fawfulfan @dannhave Isn't that a parody/satire site.

@dannhave Strong Towns.

The urban core generates almost all of a typical U.S. city's tax revenue but most of it goes to fund roads, sewer lines, power lines et al in suburbs. If suburbs paid for themselves, rather than leaching off the city, I think a lot more people would be live and let live on this.

@Gantzz32 @ClownWorld So what if the dog gets killed. Yard mutts are easily replaced out in the country. If one gets sick or injured, you shoot it in the head and find a neighbor with free puppies.

@ClownWorld Fuck those dogs and owners, they shouldn't own a dog. Why the fuck would anyone let their untrained dog roam oh i know why cause their entitled fuckin morons. That's how you get your dog killed

@Euthenos_ When you say "cultural desert", do you mean low crime area thanks to fewer residents of a certain racial demographic?

American suburbia would be acceptable if: - Bike infrastructure connected it to local train stations - It had frequent commercial areas - It wasn’t a cultural desert - It didn’t represent 80% of the urban footprint

@WallStreetApes Americans need to consume less "soda". It will lead to us having to provide fewer people with insulin.

This is one of the reasons many Americans stopped buying sodas, the prices are outrageous One 12 pack at this grocery store is $11.99 Sodas used to be 4 of these boxes for $12 bucks or buy 2 get 3 free Name brand 12 packs of soda have seen a 90% increase in price since 2020 at some locations, soda as a whole has seen a 35% price increase according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics There’s actually a reason for this, it’s a new business model for soda. Companies shifted to “price over volume” strategies Meaning instead of giving Americans a lot of for their money, instead they’ll jack up prices and just make more money on selling less Remember when America wasn’t about seeing how much we can all be robbed for

@ClownWorld It's one reason. There are hundreds more reasons to not like them.

@rushicrypto Cut welfare spending, housing and food assistance that is currently going to able bodied individuals to zero and see how many of them suddenly decide they're ready to work.

“People don’t want to work” has always been a weird argument. Offer $350K a year to flip burgers and watch how fast applications start pouring in. The problem isn’t work. It’s pay.

@simongerman600 In 1950, did 50% of the population pay ZERO dollars in federal income tax?

If you have this weird gut feeling that the rich pay little tax in the US, your gut is spot on... Source: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@NotBadgers @Linda__Stevens @MickeyDollens @BobInPascoFl @GovStitt So what happens at the strike of midnight on a person's 18th birthday that they magically transform biologically, physically, mentally, and emotionally into a total different person. According to you, one day they're playing with toy trucks and dolls and the next they're adults.

@JackWalkerFarm @Linda__Stevens @MickeyDollens @BobInPascoFl @GovStitt Your argument for child marriage is that there's child soldiers? Christ, I hope you're a bot.

The bill to ban child marriage in Oklahoma has become law! Despite 36 Republicans voting against & Gov. Stitt declining to sign or veto, SB504 will go into effect without his signature. 18 to marry. No exceptions.

@DrinksInTheAm84 @Linda__Stevens @MickeyDollens @BobInPascoFl @GovStitt "Pedos" are attracted to pre-pubescent children. This law is about the marriage of 16 and 17 year olds with their parent's consent. TEENS. Not children.

@JackWalkerFarm @Linda__Stevens @MickeyDollens @BobInPascoFl @GovStitt Found the pedo in the comments section

@jjjddd5566 @NicholasOKane5 @vlxw8w1 @Linda__Stevens @MickeyDollens @BobInPascoFl @GovStitt According you. Out of the 8 billion people on the planet, I'm betting less than 5% would say marriage between two 20 year olds should be banned.

@NicholasOKane5 @vlxw8w1 @JackWalkerFarm @Linda__Stevens @MickeyDollens @BobInPascoFl @GovStitt 20 is too young to be getting married for almost anybody

@Linda__Stevens @MickeyDollens @BobInPascoFl @GovStitt 17 year olds aren't children. They can join the Marines.

@MickeyDollens @BobInPascoFl Why does @GovStitt want child rape and marriage to be legal? Republicans are the party of sick and deranged pedophiles.

@allenanalysis So end all federal welfare programs and stop sending money to the red states. Red states will vote to do it with you. Then you can fund your liberal social experiments with state tax dollars.

I wish conservatives understood one thing: If it weren’t for blue states, the U.S. would be a third world country with broadband holes, broke schools, and zero innovation. Red states take the federal money. Blue states make it. You don’t fund the country, you drain it. Bad ideas. No revenue. And the loudest voices are always the ones who bring the least to the table.

@Bufo_Machina @SingleMalt1942 @norhloudspeaker @iluminatibot The college has already been paid. Its a loan to pay for college. You act like colleges have LayAWay plans.

@SingleMalt1942 @norhloudspeaker @iluminatibot I want an institution that gives out loans to be punished for not providing value. That’s achieved BY LETTING THE BORROWERS DEFAULT. Punish the colleges for giving out bad degrees that don’t result in jobs. Y’know. Free market capitalism.

American takes out a student loan for $8,645. After years of payments, he’s paid $7,450. His current balance? $8,750. He pays $7,450 — and somehow owes MORE than the original loan. This is usury, and it should be illegal
