The mental gymnastics around expenses is at an all time high. Went to check on prices for an item I was planning to rent and it’s > $200 cheaper than it was when I first looked up the prices four weeks ago. We need more transparency in how prices are set, for everything. #Capitalism sucks! It was never about #inflation but all about #greed #budgeting #money #life

While it’s always been on my mind, the sexual abuse allegations have brought back the same questions of years ago, is there any correlation between the multiple name changes of #SeanCombs #PDiddy #Puffy #PuffDaddy and his behaviour? Was this a way for him to distance himself from his deplorable actions?

When someone starts with “I’m American” you best believe they’re about to exaggerate their station in life, ask you if you know who they are, make stuff up/lie, or threaten to call the police on you.
