Does the United States have a spending problem? Obviously, but I really wanted to talk about how the cost of living crisis is presenting itself in your community. That relates to this article because you can’t squeeze blood from a stone. If all of you have no disposable income, no savings, and a job market that can’t support your current cost of living… What happens if you lose your job? Do you default on loan obligations along with America because we are stretched to the edge. Should we vote in members of congress to pass more tax breaks for private jets?Are mods whack? Let me know in the comments.

Mods don’t want us discussing what our back up plans are for job loss. But if you lost your job today, what job would you apply to on indeed, and would there be enough money from that job to pay your current bills? Do you think there is security in your job market if you lose your job?

Mods also don’t want us talking about assassinating the entire Trump administration

If you’re talking about your “Vote like you will be competing against me for $16 an hour jobs.” post getting removed, it’s because this community only allows links to articles. It’s the first rule listed. If you want to self-post try something like [email protected] instead. You can check the modlog for moderation actions taken on comments and posts btw (on the webui there’s a link at the bottom of the page)

fair enough. I’d argue that news articles really fail to capture some of the real politics and worthwhile discussions. There’s a reason why the rightwing media bought up all the local news agencies.
