It must suck to have worked their entire life moving up to such a respectable position only for a measly infantry officer and shitty alcoholic tv personality to swoop in, be your boss, and fire you for doing the right thing. Life really does just favor some of us.

Everything about this is incredible.

I'm confused why the obvious can't be stated. Market manipulation to make the rich richer.

I'm confused. Why is this not allowed? Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

I wouldn't last more than 45 min with a setup like that. I'm falling asleep immediately.

I am over 40, and I still do stuff like that. I always wondered where the line of crossing over from child to adult would be, but I haven't found it still.

I guess trump is the only one allowed to make disrespectful comments about other people that almost die and it is just ok.

I am not even 44 yet... this guy has been in prison 4 more years than I have been alive. That's just insane to even try to comprehend.

As someone who falls into this category, yes I have a mortgage, yes I have kids, yes it's insanely hard to juggle it all and keep your head above water... I have worked hard since 15 years old with only 2 times since having longer than 2 weeks off consecutively and I just turned 40. My job is fair, but can have long hours, on call, and work on weekends. The salary seems great, but where I live, plus being 2023 it just barely cuts it. As it is now I can get by, but my future for retirement looks pretty bleak right now. My wife has a decade old student loan that's $500 a month and interest has basically kept it there and I have no way to afford paying over that amount which even if I did would still take 10 more years to possibly pay it off so this loan is for life.

So stagnant wages, student loan debt, rising costs on everything, no programs to help middle class, and finally the need for services or certifications that appear to be needed more and more for everything which also takes your money. If I can barely get by I don't want to see how people less fortunate seem to do it... I honestly think about what if I didn't have kids probably weekly because it seems like the better decision for survival. It's messed up that you can do everything right yet still feel so close to failure at any given emergency. So screw her and her so called "hard life". People our age do deserve better and more needs to be done to help. You know how much of a difference it would make if we had free daycare like some other countries? That's just one thing and it would turn my life around tremendously. There is so much that can be done, but it never does.

Sold out... remarks saying pre-order for next batches to ship in Dec or later. Yay...

I love that I never hear a out Hillary at all, except for when the GOP constantly bring her up... it would be years of not knowing she exists anymore otherwise.

As great as this sounds it is still incredibly sad that we have to create bandaids to allow it to continue instead of actually fixing the problem... it will only get worse.

Idk about everyone else but dam does Lemmy have some of the most brutal posts over and over... between these messed up news stories, brutal cop stories, and the constant politics posts is there even anything else to see? I think I've had enough internet tonight.
