You lost me at "save". Save what? Pocket lint? Nobody has the funds for savings anymore. I used to put aside a few hundred bucks a month 10 years ago. Now I can't even afford my entire month's expenses, let alone save any money.

I have a buddy in his late 30s who just became a grandpa. He had his kid in high school when he was like 17. His son is now like 19 and just had a kid of his own. That shit is crazy

I still remember the Toronto g20. Police assigned a park as a free speech zone, surrounded it, put on masks, took off their name tags and went in to beat the shit out of everyone in sight. Men, women, children, the disabled. Hundreds of people tossed into coed massive cells with a shared bucket for a toilet, sexual assaults happened etc. That day Canadian police proved without a doubt that they're every bit as bad as American cops, and I've hated them ever since.

I was getting ready for morning class when I saw the first plane hitting the news. I didn't go to school that day. Just sat there watching, especially after the second plane that came out of nowhere and was perfectly framed by the news cameras.

I still remember that lame sketch that Metallica did on like the MTV awards to defend their stance

Remember when there was the morning News, and then the 6pm and 11pm news. That's it. Now it's news channels running 24/7

I was part of my city's biggest indoor crowd "WrestleMania 18" and was part of my city's largest outdoor crowd "Toronto rocks SARS benefit". There's really nothing like being front row while AC/DC belts out Thunderstruck, with over 600,000+ jumping and singing along. The crowd at Skydome when the Rock and Hulk Hogan wrestled was insane too, the whole building shook

The economy.

I'm a laborer. When the economy is bad, my cost of living goes up and the price of food goes up.

When the economy is great, my cost of living goes up and the price of food goes up.

The only people affected by a positive economy seem to be the people wealthy enough to have stock portfolios and large shares in corporations. It doesn't affect me as a laborer in any positive way ever.

I think you just invented an issue to complain about. Literally have never heard of this aside from the regular "I don't get young people clothing" argument

Insults are a sure sign that your argument was destroyed and you can't handle it

I'm not being impoverished by universal health care, I'm being impoverished by corporation and those "free market" fucks who are anti union, anti workers, and pro fascism.
