I mean, I didn't know any of that about you

Didn’t say you did.

I just want you to realize there are still a ton of us struggling, regardless of what the official numbers say. For a lot of us, or pay has not caught up with inflation, and there is no sign of it happening soon. Necessities continue to go up faster than inflation. I don’t care that TVs are cheaper, I don’t need a new tv, but I do need to eat.

It is more dangerous this November than people realize.
