    GenX here. Is stuff expensive…yes but that’s no reason to give up and want the government to take over. You all cry about capitalism but without it would you be using a smart phone? Or a cell phone at all? Let alone a smart one. There would be no Amazon or shein or Reddit none of it. No designer wigs or nails. We’d all be wearing burlap sacks like a bunch of monks. Sure move to NYC and get free food. You got to stand in lines for hours and then hopefully when it’s your turn there is still something left. Socialism/communism is a death sentence. Capitalism will always reign.

      Buddy, I’m already on board with the collapse of capitalism and the devouring of the 1%, say less baby.
