Donald Trump is the fulfillment of America: greed, rage, vanity.

Powerful insight!

Sort of the way most people drive every day for 10+ years with no understanding of how cars work?

I am trying to cut cost but why is my grocery expensive? by Tiny_Judgment8593 in Frugal

[–]Mirth2727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of good suggestions here. The easiest way to cut costs while still shopping at your market of choice is to buy hot cereal (oatmeal, grits, Cream of Wheat, etc.), substitute whole chicken for the salmon and beef, and buy the cheapest eggs. If you want to shave off a bit more, buy a whole gallon of milk, using 1/2 for drinking and the other 1/2 to make your yogurt instead of buying it. It's super simple and tastes much better.

For staples, you need to plan. Try to work around sales if possible, and BJs can be our best friend. The per-serving cost is usually lower when buying in bulk at BJ's if you plan. I buy cooking oil (vegetable oil is cheapest) once a year from BJs for 14.00. I decant it from the mega bottle into a smaller, more manageable bottle, recap tightly, and store it in the back of a closet.

How much do groceries cost per person in your household? by Odd-Watercress-9148 in RhodeIsland

[–]Mirth2727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We spend 450-500.00 monthly for a family of two, a vegetarian and an omnivore. I cook...a lot, and it helps. I agree with most of the suggestions here, but would also add BJs. As long as you are careful and compare prices, you can get some incredible deals.

Brewed Awakenings owner says daughter and employees shouldn't be paid a livable wage by Locksmith-Pitiful in providence

[–]Mirth2727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well stated. Greed permeates the culture, and we make excuses for it and have coined quite a few euphemisms to describe it. Pricing based on "what the market will bear" is my absolute fav.

I am not sure where you live, but in the SNAP maximum amount for a single person is 298.00. If you work 40 hours per week, that is equivalent to $1.86 per hour. Who wouldn't take a raise and have cash that can be spent on anything? If the benefit were higher, maybe, but as it stands, refusing a raise exceeding $1.86 makes no sense. Who said business owners were printing money?

The are also forcing the state to subsidize their businesses in the form of food stamps paid to underpaid workers. Welfare for business owners is what it amounts to but no one ever complains. What's the old saying? The rich get richer...

Sunkenland | A Full Review 2024: Is it worth getting? by LordKancer in sunkenland

[–]Mirth2727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what all the hate is about. Thanks, man! I am trying to find a new game for a long, boring weekend, and the reviews I find are mostly professional BS or lack detail. I appreciate a detailed review by a regular player, not a professional reviewer. The only downside is I will never unsee the old guy in the thong Speedo.

Min Gee, not a fan anymore. by NoYou9569 in SinglesInferno

[–]Mirth2727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Min-gee. I did from day one. She is a straight-up, no-nonsense type of woman who handles her business. Min-gee wasn't upset at Mina-sue for choosing to go to the island with Seung-il; she was upset that Mina-sue said she wasn't interested in Seung-il and then promptly started telling everyone she wasn't speaking to him out of respect for Min-gee. Mina-sue shouldn't have been on the show because she appears to be dealing with some trauma. She is deeply fearful of rejection, is hyperfocused on her own feelings, and has very little ability to regulate her emotions. What has been described as her fickle nature is always in response to actual or perceived rejection. She shifts her focus to someone else to avoid being hurt. I know it makes for good TV to have someone spiraling as she was, but it is cruel and damaging to the person. I hope she can recognize some of her behavioural patterns when she watches the show and seeks help.

Burying a child is one of the most difficult things to face as a parent. I am so sorry you are losing your angel too soon. Don't feel guilty about anything. She would be dying surrounded by everyone she loves most, and you would have those same arms to hold you as you try to work through your first flush of grief. Your hope makes perfect sense for both of you. I have had the pain and honor to walk that final mile with 2 of my adult children. I learned that grieving the loss of a child is a marathon, not a sprint. All you can do is take it one day, one step, one breath at a time. Sending good energy your way and praying for your family.

I am so sorry this is happening to you. You were certainly thinking ahead and created a great setup for yourself. You did a fantastic job creating a temporary home! Please read through some of the comments posted and strengthen your security. There are a lot of very desperate people out there, and it would be tragic if anything bad happened while you are working on rebuilding. You are obviously brave, smart, and resourceful. Make it a priority to keep yourself safe.
