Politics Question How did we get to a point where simply surviving feels like a luxury while politicians keep telling us everything is going great?

Seriously, groceries are getting ridiculous, rent takes up most of people's paychecks, and it feels like working full time barely guarantees you a decent life anymore.

Meanwhile, the people running the country act like everything is going perfectly, and millions still defend them like they're their favorite sports team.

At what point did expecting an affordable, normal life become asking for too much?

Politics Question I'd like to see Democrats push for a public health insurance option anyone can join, whether they're employed or not. How many people would leave a bad job or start a business if healthcare wasn't tied to their employer.

Random Question Why do some people think it's normal to go through your comment history before replying?

I mean this is the only social media where some people look at your past activity before responding. It's like they're actively looking for things to upset them. Why's that socially acceptable here? I mean it's called stalking in other platforms
