I LOVE THE COMMODIFICATION OF NECESSITIES AND THE WATERING DOWN OF WAGES! I NEED MY CEO TO EARN 600, NO, 6000 TIMES AS MUCH AS ME!

Ah gotcha. Is it very rural or are you near a city? Never been so genuinely cuisine.

i mean i live in the most liberal county in the state that the big state university is in ~1 hr from kc. parts of it are super rural but i’d say that’s that way anywhere. it’s pretty developed here and we have a legit metro area in kc and topeka is like 30 min the other way and they’re the same. more dense than our city

yeah, i mean tbh kc is developing fast as shit and it’s now turned my college town into a feeder/commuter city and it’s just fucked the rent here. like it’s pretty well doubled across the board in the last 4 years. idk how anyone in entry level jobs or service industry workers is supposed to afford it

yeah, so i said an overnight security guard making $11.50/hr wasn’t insane in 2006. i then said i make $15.25

idk if he blocked me or something but #1 posted a meme and said that it’s my own fault and he doesn’t give a shit bc KS is a red state and voted for Trump. like bro the rent started being insane a few years ago, and it’s not like i personally voted for the political happenings that led us to this moment anyway 😭
