    They shouldn’t have to though.

    Not acknowledging that is just making the problem worse.

    People should work to live not live to work, and if you can’t afford a little entertainment than you aren’t living you are barely surviving.

    But there are people out there who would take what little stress relief you can get and tell you to just tighten up your belt.

    You do realize that phrase comes from people having to take their food money and spend it on other necessities right?

    You have to tighten your belt because you can’t even afford full meals.

        And I feel perfectly safe, cussing, the police officer up one side and down the other for some stupid shit he did.

        A black person probably wouldn’t do that, because different people have different experiences based on their lives.

        You may buy your beer at Costco, the question is also how much do you drink compared to? How much does he drink.

        If he is having an $11 beer every four months and you’re buying a 24 pack every weekend that’s quality versus quantity, but could very well cost the same at the end of the year
