I love my neighborhood. It’s too ghetto to have neighbors who obsess over my lawn. But it’s in a good school zone and adjacent to the rich areas so pot holes get fixed. It’s like porridge. Just right.

If this doesn’t scream shrinkflation, I don’t know what does.

If giving everyone a living wage will raise groceries prices, please tell me why the minimum wage is still $7.25 per hour and nutty bars now look like the manufacturers are snatching them out of the open air cribs in the nursery and selling them? 😭

Hot take Tuesday:

Socialism is not scary. What’s scary is y’all’s willingness to vote against your own interests. Red states are consistently more dependent on federal funding than blue states.

We have a saying in my house. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. MAGA is the definition of that.

The stupid game: voting for this administration.

The stupid prize: Having to couch surf grandma Shirley between all the adults in your family because her health insurance no longer pays for the home health aid at her retirement home in Florida.

Good job, everyone. Great again, indeed. 🫠
