      Used to be, you about had to rent. Now it’s cheaper to own both items.

      Just got married last month. Bought my wife’s dress for ~$160 and my (second!) tux set for $110. And we looked fly as fuck.

      Buying clothes ain’t the thing. Capitalism worked great on some fronts! Buying a home is the thing. And capitalism failed hard on others.

      Young people got straight fucked on that, and you should be rioting in the streets.

        You look like an Irish mob boss who runs a 24/7 soup kitchen and sends his enforcers to guard union strikes. I mean this in the best way.

        😍 congratulations! yeah, you look great.

        you should be rioting in the streets.

        The Texas Cox decision pretty much seals we’re too fffn asleep to be in the streets about anything now.
