They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.
Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.
What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.
Yes please! Please please not from locally owned businesses. It’s fucking hard rn!! When you have the ability to, please consider small over big businesses. Treat yourself to that local butcher’s bacon one month…or take a class at a local studio. Just anything helps. I can tell you, from a group of us small lil guys, we are trying so hard to NOT pass the buck on to you. We are doing anything we can to keep shit affordable, slowly increasing prices (because we literally have to). Omg I fucking hate it!! My goal was to start paying myself this year…I can’t. It’s complicated, but what I’m doing is so important to me, I will sacrifice until I can’t. Do I have a roof? Food? My meds, am I living safely…yes. Am I thriving? No.
Our community is struggling with Gen Z/Alpha Gen being the biggest culprit of thieft. Might be different else where. But please teach your kids to be respectful of AT LEAST small businesses. Fuck big corps!!! Set them loose at a Walmart, team up with them to raid an Amazon Warehouse…I saw nothing. But not us.
Ps: if someone wealthy out there wants to take pitty on me and my situation…will send feet pics for $$$. (+_+)
