    Was at the store today just buying pasta and sauce, what used to cost me like 2 bucks is now close to $4. ffs, you can't even get dollar items off McDonald's anymore without taxes and inflation driving up the cost. Where's the spoils of empire? Life in the imperial core is miserable if you're poor.

      i wanted to say "at least you weren't born with birth defects because of depleted uranium munitions being used on your town by fascist goons," but given the militarization of the US police that might change soon

      It's not even the dollar menu anymore, it's the "value menu". A McChicken is fucking $3 now
