re: #415 theheat

I think the generation (of us) that had to work hard, came from modest or no means, know what it’s like to freakin’ live on Top Ramen and powdered milk and count change for gas - I think there’s enough of us to yell pretty loudly. But if we don’t start throwing temper tantrums with these elected officials, nothing is going to change. Remember: they care about their ass first, and our ass last.

It’s time for temper tantrums. Big ones.

I remember when we were thrilled to have enough money to afford Little Caesar’s “Pizza Pizza” deal — and we paid for it with cash -folks with debit cards have been desensitized to the use of credit cards. —maybe if they had to pay cash for something they would think twice.
