    Well, it’s what Redneckistans voted for. That’s the world they want to live in.

    She’s like one of those wealthy people from hunger games, who take pills that make you throw up for fun or something.

    This is such a “Let them eat cake” moment. Can’t afford to live? Stop going to the movies

    I would LOVE to have kids one day. It is something my wife and I are looking forward to. We are just wanting to save up a few more moneys and it’s a situation I realize we are fortunate to be in.

    But we have waited so long and are waiting a little bit longer because of money because kids deserve experiences in life.

    I’m sure it’s incredibly easy for this lady to say “kids don’t need nice things” while coming from a household that could afford everything this world has to offer.

    Growing up I was lucky my dad worked extra hours so I could play sports. Up until 3 years ago (I am 29 now) I never was able to travel and never left my own state. Up until 1 and a half year ago I have never left the Country. All that to say there was a lot of anxiety and trauma I had to live with growing up. And I realize even still that some folks might consider me lucky.

    In today’s world, kids should never have to worry about where their food is coming from. What a detached worldview these assholes have if they’re genuine.

    Using MOVIES as an example is hilarious…ticket sales haven’t come close to rebounding after COVID. Seems there are a lot of people who already took it out of their budget to make room for groceries!

          We paid about 3$AUD per banana just over a decade ago. Cyclone Yazi had wiped out a fair portion of the plantations.

          I don’t want to imagine what they’d hit cost wise if that were to happen now.

            I remember when I was visiting Australia back 2009 I think and bananas were about $16 aud/kg. We were paying about $0.90 USD/lb. So if we multiply by 2.2 to convert to kilo and assume $1 AUD = $0.70 USD, it works out to $2.82 AUD/kg.

            Pretty darn close in price before the storm.

      I wish she had gone on a show where the interviewer asked her that. “Given your failure to raise an even somewhat decent human being, why should anyone take your advice on parenthood?”

        American culture dictates that the parent with the most downstream revenue in the family tree is the one with the secret to being awesome.
