    Everything having to turn a profit. We can’t just do things anymore. Also, our society of inconvenience that it leads to.

    The relentless march to the bottom line. The ever worsening quality of products and services, at the same time that sizes are reduced, and prices are raised. The fact that people don’t matter beyond their ability to be squeezed for their last penny.

      Oh bitch of old. Tell me the ways that it must be told. Instill in me the ways of no fucks to give, as you see, we walk like aimlessly ducks with a dull shiv. Ducks without a pond, oh please of please, don’t let me live like a ‘dumb blonde’ without any wings. Teach me the ways to turn my sass to 11, and guide me now towards Sassy Sass Heaven.

    Having to pay for EVERYTHING! Want to not live outside? Gotta pay rent. Want water? Gotta pay the water company. Want to eat? Gotta buy food. Want to go somewhere? Got to pay for vehicle insurance.

    I keep telling my friend that we’re heading to the Cyberpunk society without the cool cybernetics. Hell, Nestle tried to privatise water which FALLS FROM THE SKY.

    Scam attempts. This may be better elsewhere but in the U.S., every phone call I get is either a scam attempt or my mom (who is old enough that I worry about her getting elder scammed like when my grandma paid a stupid amount for silver coins).

    I’ve never gotten scammed (except small stuff like carnival games or whatever) but if I were president I’d make ending scams — even false advertising ones — my top priority. You’ll be able to pick up a call from and unknown number after my first 100 days: that’s my promise to the people of America.

    At this point, presently? People acting like they are experts on Marxism without ever delving into Marxist theory

    The fucking bitches at my work who are so dumb that they don’t even know what they don’t know and too narcissistic to ask, and create unsafe situations for staff and kids which makes teachers quit and destroys any chance for education for students.

    The car behind me or across the intersection’s headlights blinding me making it hard to see the road and also potentially causing a migraine. Ban them from the streets!
