They keep raising prices, stating that it's due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn't seem to do much since I'm just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

The same. You can even get wood for free sometimes if someone in your area cuts down a tree in their yard and curbsides the refuse.

It's not difficult. You just want to make it seem difficult to justify not having to put thought and effort into solving problems. You can't just buy your way out of everything.

Free wood that you have to store in a dry area for year or so to season then mill and plane it?

You can literally buy your way out of anything.

Look at the Kardashians, they bought themselves famous.

Then why are you here instead of buying stuff like a good corporate shill?

Sounds like we better wall the whAaAAaAmbulance because you have a fatal case of that shit.

In general:

Any difficulties a problem may have is our responsibility to come up with solutions for and overcome. That can never happen if people adopt the self-serving, cynical, negative attitude you are determined to pose on others here.

Now since you don't want to talk about the subject in good faith, you can go elsewhere.

You like quadrupled the length of this comment with your edit so I figured I’d respond again.

You can build your mattress out of people’s curbside garbage and I’ll keep answering however I’d like to.

I’m online shopping while I browse Lemmy, n00b.

What you are is being sent outside.

Go touch some grass and then you'll see it's possible to actually do for yourself. You won't discourage us from breaking away from your masters.

Can’t touch grass, too much snow.

I’m Canadian so we get four days of grass in August.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
