This is one of the things that's often missing from online discussions of anti-capitalist theory. The question that actually determines our socioeconomic status and fate is this:
Do you live off what you're paid for your own labor, or off the profits you draw from the labor of others?

I can’t believe you idiots are still arguing with me about this. Idc what your job is paying you now, you still have to labor for your money. You’re working class.
All it takes is an unfortunate accident or illness for you to be in the poor house. Medical debt and fallout would cripple you. Stfu.

All of you are poor. These hypothetical poor people everyone is discussing are us. We’re poor. Idc if you make 6 figures or not. You’re poor too.

Also Bill Murray’s monologue at the end … gets me every gd time. It’s the best version of A Christmas Carol.
Watching Scrooged, remembered Carol Kane’s manic pixie BDSM ghost was part of my sexual awakening.

So this is a thing you'll see a lot about immigration. The process is incredibly slow, the systems are overworked. If you have applied you will overstay before your decision is made. The system is designed such that you will be breaking the law, by their own design. This is arguably on purpose.
They overstayed their visas. That's not remotely a legal way.

Again, turkeys are 70-80% off from today onwards and last a year in the freezer.
If you’ve got a chest freezer in the garage that’s good soup, stew, and smoker meat for the whole winter for a really good price.

A couple of friends in MS asked me to sing “Ode to my Family” by the Cranberries at their wedding. During the service. 👀
Fleetwood Mac 's "Silver Springs" is a trending sound right now at least on Insta, and people are using it for ... their wedding videos and getting brunch with friends.
they hear "you won't forget me" and go "awww 🥹"
🫠 You don't even need to know the background, just actually listen to the song
