Just another example of privileged people not realizing how privileged they are. My husband (35) was talking to his sister (32) not too long ago about how life and everything is going when the topic of rent was brought up. My husband tells her how expensive it is in Seattle as we we pay $3000+ every month just in rent and utilities. (He was on speakerphone which is why I heard) I hear her respond, “Why don’t you just start saving money for a house instead of throwing your money down the drain?” I stopped dead in my tracks and felt my head nearly explode from the ignorance. This, coming from a person who’s parents bought her the condo she owns now. This, coming from a person who’s parents subsidize her mortgage payments every month.

I hate job searching
I went to 3 job interviews this week, and 2 of them didn’t even know what the position would pay. Why the fuck am I interviewing for a job and I don’t know the most important stipulation?

Let’s Boycott High Gas Prices
We all know fuel companies are artificially price gouging and blaming recent world events. What if we all stopped driving or drive as little as possible until they come back down? We should be thinking about alternatives for the future anyway. I know most people would say bUt WhAt AbOuT tHeIr JoBs. But seriously they under pay us already, now they except us to buy $5 gas to to it?! Enough is enough. May day is coming up too!
