I'm on a hamster wheel, but I tripped, and the wheel is still spinning, and I'm just tumbling over and over and getting trampled by the other hamsters
As someone who has had something large and expensive break with frequent enough regularity lately that it's been keeping me from building up almost any savings for almost a year, I feel this. I feel very behind.
I've never understood why people go and shoot up schools when there's likely a conference for designers of major appliances just ASKING for it. /s
I'd settle for any large gathering of ultra-wealthy ~~profiteers~~ capitalists
