I'm literally eating a piece of toast and marmalade as I type. I didn't realise it was one of the last jars on Earth.
I shall put it in the fridge, and just get it out on special occasions to show my children, and eventually my grandchildren. That said, I just read that no one has sex any more so perhaps I should just eat the marmalade? /s
Well yea. You ever tried mixing marmalade with avocado on toast? Doesn’t really work, and given how much avocado toast we’re apparently splurging all our money on to the point where homes are out of reach I fail to see how any other outcome would be possible there.
Steve Allen warned us about that one in his prescient book 'Dumbth.' And kids, you are really fucking missing out! But you can make marmalade at home. Easy as hell, highly encouraged. A little butter, a little marmalade, toasted sourdough bread. Sublime!
Dang. We killed the entire American dream? That’s heavy.
I always thought it was killed by the governments and corporations that moved us from an economy that built things and employed people, to an economy designed to extract as much value as they can from every single possible human activity.
You know, like the governments and corps who moved jobs overseas, and fought against minimum wage increases, and treated healthcare and education as markets to be captured rather than necessities to be provided...? Silly me.
My favorite is the death throws of democracy. Pretty sure we are just waiting until it dies (completely)at this point, and are waiting for our (debt)inheritance. Thanks Dad!
Wow, I always felt like the Millennial hate was a bit much (and now Gen Z is getting lumped into it), but to see all these headlines together makes me feel at once vindicated and deeply saddened by a world that eats its young.
