I'm getting pretty sick of this crap, like I'm sure everyone else is too. "Prices went up!" "Why?" "Because prices went up on everything else!"

And yet, no one is rioting. Everyone is simply allowing this robbery to happen unchallenged.

I'm too tired, sick and miserable to riot tbh.

If I were younger I would try.

Our rent has gone up $600 in the last 2 years. We haven't moved, our landlord just keeps raising it.

You're the reason I was charged $40 when I didn't have $10 in my bank account
