What a crock!

When folk stop burning five dollar a gallon gas waiting in double lines to buy a five dollar plus of cup of joe which isn’t even a Starbucks, then I might buy into the affordability crisis.

Not to mention Uber, Lyft, Doordash et al.

If you can afford to have Mickey D’s delivered, then you are doing well enough to squander your discretionary income.

And I forgot folk are still sending their kids to college for a four year education with unimaginable costs.

Went to the grocery store yesterday.

There were two aloha snackbar women, traditionally dressed and head covered in the mouth.

They pulled out the ‘ol gubmint card which I don’t even know what they call it now.

If I spoke their language, I might have been able to ask them about the affordabilty crisis, but it looks like they were doing well.

If I wasn’t concerned about elevating my blood pressure, I might have scoped them out leaving the store and seen what year and model of car they were driving which I would have bet was newer and better than what I’m driving.

“And I forgot folk are still sending their kids to college for a four year education with unimaginable costs.”

To get a degree in an absolutely useless subject like “African studies” or “Grievance studies.”
