    I’m honestly pretty upset about having to report “income” on reselling random old used shit out of my closet and garage on ebay all of the sudden.

    Taxes have fucking been paid. This shit is not the same as wages and shouldn’t be treated the same.

    As someone who has to pay back half of my COVID relief but so many rich people and corporations don’t- I feel this deep in my black soul.

    $7000 on top of my student loans👍

    That ‘we don’t know where 2 trillion went’ is a myth–that number represents accounting reconciliations between their myriad of different archaic and highly secured systems. It doesn’t mean that actual resources are missing or can’t be accounted for.
