I'm al
Hi! Like the title says, I am disabled and have no income, so anything helps! ;_; I currently live with my abusive father who abuses me constantly by making me cook and clean for him but doesn't let me eat, so this money also helps me stay fed!
I would like to meet with my therapist and that costs 175$ per session: she is helping me get on disability as I have no help other than her! Please find it in your heart to help me get out of this place <3
tdov is over but I still need help ;~;
please I haven't seen my therapist in months due to lack of funds I want to get out of my rapist home
I sent my inner child to work at a steel cable plant to make some extra cash and it got mangled in an industrial accident and died in the hospital so I really don't have to protect it or whatever anymore. good luck with your self care stuff though
so guys...do we feel "great again" yet?
This is actually an OP time to have gotten a degree in international economics (like me) cause when ignorant idiots start regurgitating the talking points they've been forcefed about tariffs I can look at them and be like "mk so here's all the ways you're wrong..." and if they argue I can be like hm okay where is your economics degree? Do you have any actual idea what the fuck you're talking about or are you letting the stupid ideas they're shoving up your ass fuck you so hard they come all the way back out your mouth?
Actually it's really easy to argue with those fucks and I'm gonna teach you how cause it's fuckin easy.
WE HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE!!!
WE HAVE DONE THIS MASSIVE SWEEPING TARIFF SHIT BEFORE!!!!
AND GUESS WHAT??? IT DIDN'T FUCKING WORK!!!! IT ACTUALLY MADE THE ECONOMY WORSE!!!!!
Let me introduce you to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930. Intended to be a protectionist tariff act to protect American businesses during the Great Depression, it actually WORSENED the depression in America and led to other countries implementing reactionary tariffs that led to both American imports AND EXPORTS dropping by 67%.
I'm going to let this bit from the Wikipedia page speak for itself:
And guess what? Economists have been screaming about how bad these tariffs are going to be too, even before the announcement yesterday, but this administration is going forward with them anyway!!!
This is not 4-D chess, this is not "small hurt in the short run for gains in the long run." It's stupidity and an inability to learn from our history.
To end this thread on a more optimistic note, it's worth pointing out that Hoover lost re-election in 1932 to FDR and we got the New Deal out of it which pulled us out of the depression, established social security, and expanded labor rights. I'm hoping the same sort of thing will happen here.

One weird experience of transitioning is failing at ur assigned gender role the whole time and everyone constantly deriding you for it but then u come out and it's like we lost a beautiful gender conforming warrior today. Must grieve for my wonderful child who pissed me off by being ugly and weird since day 1
