Call me a communist, becuase I think if you work a full-time job and still can’t afford a studio apartment, the problem isn’t your morning iced covfee


It’s not the avocado toast.
It’s not Netflix.
It’s not “not working hard enough.”
It’s wages that haven’t kept up with exploding rent, healthcare, groceries, and student debt. It’s corporations posting record profits while paying workers poverty wages. It’s a system where a full paycheck barely covers a roof over your head. Blaming iced lattes is cheap scapegoating so we don’t talk about the real issues: stagnant wages, skyrocketing housing costs, and an economy rigged for the top 1%. If personal responsibility means choosing between eating and having shelter while working 40+ hours, maybe the system is the one that needs fixing.
You’re not lazy. The math is just broken.
