    Well, over the last four years I’ve only received a 3-4% annual raise. This means that, because of inflation, I’ve seen an effective pay cut of ~10%. Meanwhile the CEO of the company I work for just bought his third condo/apartment (or whatever) overlooking Manhattan’s Central Park while full on doubling his take-home in 2022. That’d be a huge reason as to why I feel like shit Uncle Joe. Not like Trump and the Republicans would make things any better or do anything about it… they’re more on the billionaire take than the Democrats only plus the GOP apparently is just openly talking about wanting to overthrow the government. I’ll hold my nose once again to vote for a Democrat, but they’ve seriously got to pull their heads out of their asses.

      When they said “wants to know” what they really mean is “want them to shut the fuck up about it so we can continue to fuck them harder next time!”
