    I generally like Biden, but that’s a crock of shit. Anytime news outlets claim that the “economy is strong”, they’re almost always talking about how it is for the investor and owner classes, not for the working class. This economy is absolute dogshit for the proles, how the hell is anybody supposed to survive under these conditions? I make OK money and I’m barely scraping by, I don’t know how the fuck anybody else is still hanging on. Housing and the price of consumer goods needs to seriously come the fuck back down to Earth, it’s squeezing people dry. I kind of wish people in apartment complexes would just start banding together and burn their rental offices down and just refuse to pay rents anymore, because whoever decides what “market rates” are for renting apartments are some of the greediest motherfuckers on the planet.
