      If you’re comfortable saying be it publicly or via dm, let me know what pharmacy you’re going to.

      If it’s one of the ones I support I’m more than willing to kick whine and scream to every management individual I know about it violating our company ethics.

      If it’s not, please consider switching to one of the ones I support. I don’t give a shit about your money, I care about you not getting the shit end of the stick.

          I’m in the technology department for any Kroger brand. If your experience violates the company ethics I’m willing to lose the job to point out violatiom of the ethics.

      I don’t want to live anymore.

      I know life is tough right now, and it sure sounds like yours is rougher than most. As somebody who’s been struggling a lot, both with finances and healt, lately as well, I can relate somewhat. I know it’s not much of a comfort and kind of a cliche but: when things are as bad as they are now, they can only get better. It sucks waiting while everything sucks, but unfortunately that’s all we can do. Also, look around you. There’s always something to live for, even if it’s just seeing the sunset again or the smell of freshly cut grass. You’re right though, if only money was distributed more evenly and the super rich were taxed fairly, things would be a lot easier for many of us. In the words of the hardcore band Deez Nuts:

      “money can not buy you happiness it’s true what they say, but a motherfucker’s still got bills to pay”

      holy shit, imagine spending $44 billion just to use a domain you’ve been squatting since the Netscape era

    I don’t give a shit. I wish social media platforms would stop giving attention to these uber rich. Make them pay their fucking taxes and relegate them to their lives. I don’t give a toss.

    That’s some 90s-dot-com-ass thinking from Elon. Nobody wants supercentralized services anymore. We’ve seen how giving one company too much data and too much power over our lives backfires every single time.

    Elon rolled high luck and as emerald mine heir was able to take risks some of which paid off. But he was never a super (stable) genius he (and others like him) would claim to be.

    From reading this article is sounds like Musk was never good at any of the shit that made him money. He surrounded himself with people that were so he seemed good because the group as a whole did good. And by the time people realized all this he had too much power to be removed.

    Sounds like he’s trying to set up his own bank? Who tf would trust him as a bank leader. If he’s trying to give himself loans, launder, etc., then I can see it.
