    Or IT equipment.
    Or (looking at the current draught during our 6th heat wave this year) water.

    Already have. Do you think it's a singular event to attend? No, it's many small things that eventually grow into big things if they have to.

    Look at all the flock cameras destruction. See how that's happening cross country will minimal repercussion? People are learning they can become ungovernable.

    My guess is never, but let's see what happens in November. Cancelling the elections or obvious tampering or outright disregard of the outcome will probably spark mass protests. Things can happen from that. There will be heavy military presence, but if millions show up... who knows? Still, we tough and independent Americans will likely just bend over and take it in the ass. It looks like the home of the brave was the easiest country for the wealthy elite to take.

    When being lazy finally becomes too difficult

    While people are willing to pay for some poor bastard to bring a milkshake to their door in 115° heat without thinking about the slave doing their bidding just to survive, 'Murica will keep doing what' Murica does

    Exploiting people. Being a collective example of every single thing that people can do to treat others badly

    And they will be pissy when they are called out for it

    Gas prices have been higher, both in a relative and absolute sense, if you're looking at the USA's national average. The biggest issue now is that these prices are due specifically and directly to Donald Trump, his administration, and the complicity of the courts and congress. They were avoidable and unnecessary.

    This is in DIRECT contrast to his campaign promises: Lower prices, Day One. He's going to immediately lower prices.

    Average intelligence people and above knew that this was a lie from the get go. That millions upon millions of American voters believed it, is a shame.

    Things are great, but I live in the UK where minimum wage is high, food is cheap and I couldn't afford to learn to drive in my teens/early 20s so I don't need fuel!

    Housing is painful, but at least inflation is reducing the number of hours I need to work to cover my mortgage payments each year. Very approximated, my monthly housing costs each year since I bought would be 105, 95, 87, 81, 78 hours of work to pay for at minimum wage. I would love to see house prices continue to stagnate so that buying a house gets easier with inflation dropping their price relative to wages.
