So no cost of living increase for social security recipients this year. The primary reason, gas prices!

That's right. Even though the cost of essentials like food and rent are skyrocketing, the price of gas is down so our government decided no mo money for thee.
While the billionaires rake in millions per second. While the 1% of the world now own more than half of the planet with sights on the other half.
This is good (not). Those that want to wait until the shit really hits the fan before doing something about it, have another brick in their yellow brick road. For those that don't want to wait, it's just another brick in the wall, all in all.
Maybe it will wake some people up.
Or maybe they'll just accept it like the sheeple they are.
Whatever, this news seems surreal when you read things like this:
"China has a Bigger Middle Class than America"

(What the fuck happened? Wasn't I just watching the Communist Chinese all dressed in gray singing praises to Mao? Oh, that was yesterday.)
