3.5% credit card fee if you have to charge it!

"Convenience fee"

I'm getting pretty sick of this crap, like I'm sure everyone else is too. "Prices went up!" "Why?" "Because prices went up on everything else!"

"why did my rent go up by 400 dollars?" "Because my favorite bagel spot raised prices by a dollar"

Eat your local monopoly man?

And yet, no one is rioting. Everyone is simply allowing this robbery to happen unchallenged.

I remember when they did the math and average pay today is lower than it was in the Great Depression. I see videos on YouTube about surviving on 1 dollar a day and it has millions of views. People are eating nettle soup the stuff people starved on in the English created famines in Ireland

It's cool though could be worse. Still slightly better than Slave or Serf

I'm too tired, sick and miserable to riot tbh.

If I were younger I would try.

And thats the secret. The weaker and more hopeless we are, the more complacent we are.

Can't miss work, that's my healthcare.

Good thing we're back in the office.

I feel this. I make really good money and me and my spouse both work and we can barely get by.

[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same I’m a computer engineer and she’s a nurse and we barely get by

Our rent has gone up $600 in the last 2 years. We haven't moved, our landlord just keeps raising it.

[–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago

Think like Mao

[–] Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

I just spent $300 USD for food. A thing which I need to live. Existing is dumbass expensive.

There is a German proverb: Only death is free and it will cost your life.

Oh, you don't have $70? That'll be $80 then.

[–] ilost7489@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

You're the reason I was charged $40 when I didn't have $10 in my bank account

[–] QubaXR@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

And I'll scream and spit curses at you if the tip is any lower than 25%
