And we all have to make at least 5 posts in a political thread. Basically your 20% memory has to sit back and watch your 80% majority make the posts.
That next day reading would be awesome.
I've watched way too many Twilight Zone episodes recently.

This isnt the same but similar.
This weekend I had to go to a coin laundry mat to wash my $500 goose down comforter bc the cat pissed on it. So its 90% latinos, suspicious korean owner ladies. You had families, woman lugging these huge bags of laundry, these people would spend their whole sunday washing their clothes. And it was a pain in the ass for them to lug all these things around, kids getting bored. just washing clothes would take up the most of your sunday.
the cost. it was $6.25 for me to use the big washer, then like $4 for the dryer.
being poor costs a lot of money.
it was somewhat eye opening to experience the coin laundry life. Ive lived this life in baltimore, lugging huge bags 2 blocks to the coin machine, rats in my apartment, broken glass everywhere so i get it but even then i was poor-rich if that makes sense.
but it was a noticeable difference from my life now. it probably costs me less than $1 to wash some clothes. I just walk down to my basement.
my mortgage is 1.4k when they probably pay more than that for a 2 bedroom apartment.
its hard to get ahead if youre on the bottom.
everything costs more. deck is stacked against them. $10 to wash 1 load of laundry here. $5 for a daily bus pass there.
