Thinking about going down to Katz's for lunch today, getting their $28.95 pastrami sandwich, and posting "See, even a simple SANDWICH is $28 in today's economy!"

@nobodyknows2322 In my 20s there was WAY too much time spent broke, bored, and dealing with bad jobs and bad relationships. It was also a chore to kick the insufferable, high-drama people in my circle to the curb, a process that often felt like playing whack-a-mole.

Actually ones 20s are usually quite unpleasant. Yes 'even' for the much-vaunted Boomers. It's a myth created by TV and the movies that they're you're best years ever (mostly so they can sell more sex that then sells smartphones, used cars, and hamburgers)

@nobodyknows2322 @GambelerQuail @BarneyFlames @MustacheBob2 @CrankyFed @Dastardlyb247 What's unique about this time period is usually Americans spend with optimism and happiness. But, hilariously, for the first time ever Americans are spending like there's no tomorrow while simultaneously being the most pessimistic ever!

People whining about this "self-sufficiency" like ersatz preppers.

@minervas_muse Ikr? People act like you have to make everything from scratch or something when you just have to go to the grocery store and buy a lot of prepared things cheaper

I see a lot of people getting mugged by reality in the wake of the LIRR strike, and I am pleased.

@BanquoDyar Matt Duss is a vile human being, and as a foreign policy adviser he is the Elbridge Colby of the Left. I'm no doomer, but a 2028 in which Colby still holds sway with the Rs and Duss starts to hold sway with the Ds could mean that's it for the country.

I don't particularly care. The purpose of the LIRR is to move commuters into NYC as quickly, safely, cheaply, and efficiently as possible, not to provide high paying jobs (to what is essentially a hereditary cartel that it's impossible for a random person to apply to).

i’m not opposed to automation on principle, but i genuinely want to know where people who say “automate the LIRR” think those people should work next.

It's terrible but, the "let's punish anyone who isn't getting picked up by Grandpa Bumpkin with an Uber/taxi maze" policy at about 35% of US airports is worse. At my home airport they do it for drop off at 3/4 of the terminals, too. Even at 4 in the morning.

So many ridiculous airport trains in the US. Here we wait to go to the building visible at the right a few hundred feet away, which we are not allowed to walk to. Sacramento airport, but there are many others.

@NickyFrank30 To be fair, SPM doesn't have the brains that God gave a Springer Spaniel. Also, staunch atheist but I kinda miss religious liberals because at least they would never make an idol of "community", an awful tendency that is in vogue on the left now.
