if one more person tells me “capitalism is making people starve” i’m going to lose it
the poorest people in America are literally gigantic. like medically unexplainable balloon-shaped and built like refrigerators. we’re not dealing with famine—we’re dealing with doorways having to be widened
have you seen what capitalism gives broke people in this country???
you can wake up at 2pm, take your government-subsidized Ozempic with a 3,000 calorie $9 “coffee” milkshake from Starbucks, get driven to Target in an air-conditioned car you don’t own, buy 40 pounds of seed oils and corn syrup with an EBT card, tap pay on your iPhone, and then go home and watch Netflix while you suck your vape in a recliner until the next time you’re ready to shovel food into that nasty mouth hole
your shampoo has biotin. your snacks come in resealable zip pouches. your cats eat grain-free. your dog wears a thunder shirt. you’ve got twelve $7 body washes for different moods. your teeth are rotting from Mountain Dew. your fridge dispenses crushed ice. you have a bluetooth air fryer that makes chicken nuggets shaped like Paw Patrol characters. you’re on six medications and still have the nerve to say the system is failing you
you don’t cook. you don’t walk. you don’t build. you don’t fix. and yet your lifestyle—degrading as it is—is still propped up by diesel engines, shipping containers, water treatment plants, and a thousand invisible laborers you’ll never meet
capitalism isn’t making you starve. it’s keeping you alive in spite of yourself
it gave you DoorDash. it gave you weed delivery. it gave you plus-size lingerie and mental health apps that send you push notifications like “you’re doing great sweetie” even though you’re a F***ing emotionally unregulated lunatic. it gave you multiple streaming services to distract you from your own shitty choices. and you’re mad because it didn’t also give you meaning???
capitalism didn’t fail you. it cushioned your fall. it wrapped it in cheese, deep fried it, and let you finance it at 17% APR
but the most ungrateful part is: the system is still carrying your a$$ on a reinforced mobility scooter through the Walmart to buy more of that trash you call food
take away profit and by day four of your revolution you’ll be shitting in a bucket and trading hot cheetos for insulin in a parking lot
SHUT THE F**K UP
btt
Day One, I'll set up a bucket-selling business!
tell us how you really feel!
LMAO
loved every word of it!
I like this Tyler girl.
Sounds spunky.
I lose it when I hear the word, “democracy.” Even The Stupid Party refers to “our democracy.” Further proof that they never bothered to read the document they swore an oath to defend and protect.
The lastest is from BONO, BAMA and BUSH. The Three Bees.
We already have too much socialism in the US to consider it a truly free market society. The government is a heavy yoke on the economy. You also have business colluding w/government for favors, which is actually fascist.
So if the free market isn’t working, it’s because of that BS.
“Capitalism” is a pejorative.
In most countries, poor people ar slim, many way to slim from malnutrition.
In our country, the poor are the most obese on the planet, due to free stuff from the government.
Because only a second-grader would be naive enough to put that much uncomfortable and unspeakable truth in one rant ...
Obviously , painted a picture of you eh ?
.if not , why the outburst.?
The Ghettopotami are proof positive of this. They make very bad choices in life, especially regarding food.
They may be malnourished, but they sure as hell aren't "starving".
Sure. Capitalization counts to me. If you don’t respect your reader enough to use it your comments mean nothing. I am not deciphering childish gibberish. Obviously, the writers comments are not respected by the writer.
Posting drunk isn’t pretty for you.
Exactly. Felt I just needed to get the word out.
now i see why you call yourself a toad.
fits
;-)
oh, and i cant drink .
covid gave me chronic COPD.

Yes, “toad” can be used as a derogatory term, often implying that someone is unpleasant, unattractive, or contemptible. It can also be used to describe someone who is obsequious or a sycophant.
Elaboration:
Negative Connotations:
The term “toad” carries negative connotations due to the physical appearance of toads, which are often perceived as having bumpy, warty skin and being less attractive than frogs.
Contemptible Person:
More broadly, “toad” can be used as an insult to describe someone who is considered unpleasant, disgusting, or contemptible.
Sycophant/Toady:
In some contexts, “toad” can be used to describe someone who is overly eager to please and flatter those in power, essentially acting as a “toady” or sycophant.

““Free enterprise,” please.
“Capitalism” is a pejorative.”
You are exactly right. They do not like using the term “free enterprise” because any rule regarding our inalienable right to conduct business or enterprise freely amongst one another is the first step towards socialism.
Free Enterprise it shall be from now on!!
