Just observations based on everyday life. I work in an industry that IMO acts as a canary in the coal mine for all sorts of broader societal issues. People aren’t spending money like they did even last year. And these are people with money.

Shouldn’t means nothing. People shouldn’t own other people and yet gestures broadly at history
Calling someone what they want to be called is just being decent. Like your name is Thomas but you’d like to be called Tommy. Neopronouns aren’t names, they’re an attempt to force speech to fit the unique desires of the person demanding use of said neopronouns. Using they/them is a perfectly reasonable compromise.
We’re going into an economic downturn regardless of who holds the political football
I honestly don’t think trump will make it to 2028 alive. He’s old he’s got a terrible diet and being president (no matter how shitty at it) is a high stress job. I’m betting on natural causes taking him out before 2028.
You need to get the fuck away from him and let this man child grow up and take care of himself.
Love seeing defrenestrated out in the wild

I don’t think I ever use you as a plural ever, except maybe as a generalization.
I brought up y’all and yous because those are current slang terms that are close to the plural use of you.
You as plural blows my mind. I’ve heard y’all and yous as slang….
I’m in the too silly to be taken seriously boat. They/them works perfectly fine.
Yeah idk. I work in tourism (skiing) that’s mainly for wealthy people who don’t blink at paying $8.50USD for a fucking Gatorade. That same Gatorade at the store would cost ~$2-3 as a single, or even less as part of a pack.
And yeah, it’s a captive audience like a baseball game, but even still, $8.50 for a fucking gatorade?! I think even the well off are tired of being fleeced.
Business is way down. Occupancy at my workplace is like 60% rn when it should be 90+ as all the school kids are out this week. The ski trails aren’t crowded, normally the beginner slopes are a zoo but it just looks like a mild Saturday rather than a holiday week. It’s unsettling since my job depends on tips if we don’t have business I don’t have $. Some of the pass products are blacked out for this week because of overcrowding but it doesn’t seem necessary.
I wonder if rich people are taking their money elsewhere (a ski vacation, with everything included even airfare, is way cheaper in Europe than the US without airfare and the quality is way better). Or if they’re nervous and just not spending it. Is it the administration change? Are they going to the beach instead? Idk. I’m nervous though. I have a lot of expenses coming up and I’m counting on my $ coming in after having a very difficult year in my personal life caring for a parent and taking a massive financial and mental health hit.
