It's not "everything," though.

Only the things everyone needs.

Teslas and yachts and private planes aren't any more expensive. Enormous multi-million dollar mansions haven't gone up anywhere near as much as single-family ramblers on cul de sacs.

The elite don't think prices have gone up because theirs mostly didn't. Only ours did. Our food and rent and gas and insurance have skyrocketed, but even though that's the biggest part of the budget for the biggest part of the population, it's only a tiny little slice of the economy. The market is doing fine.

#kind of reminds me of when the film society changed their tiers a few years ago#and all the smallest tiers went up in price but the upper tiers didn't change at all#which meant that all of their absolute poorest members were being charged more but the rich millionaires weren't seeing any change#and I sent them just -- the most INCANDESCENT email honestly#and they sent back an email (SO offended) about how they did tons of charity so I was just being unreasonable#and it's like... but this still upholds the power structures I'm complaining about#you're still removing poor people from positions of actual control here#and making it so poor people will simply have to make do with what the rich have deigned to give them when it comes to experiencing art#poor people won't get to choose which movies are shown when and which they get discounted tickets to#they won't get any of the benefits of being actual members#and when I think about the fact that if the rich had had their prices raised by even one percent#it probably would have paid the difference that was being put on the shoulders of the poorest of their membership#KIND OF LIKE TAXES.....#they had a rough few years in there and some massive changes of leadership#but they seem to be doing better which is also why I'm a member again now#but boyyyyyyy I was mad#and I guess my email did actually ruffle some feathers because I heard some elderly rich members complaining about me! lmao#they didn't know it was me! they were just loudly bitching outside one of the theaters right next to me! crazy

having heartburn so frequently that my dr decided to medicate me for it has a silver lining in that now when i forget to take my depression meds i get a reminder in the form of acid eating my esophagus because I take them at the same time

I did not expect this post to be relatable but LETS GOOOOO ACID REFLUX GANG

OK BUT THIS FOR REAL like if youre reading this and u get heartburn on the reg that is NOT NORMAL AND REALLY BAD FOR YOU and TUMS ARENT GOING TO CUT IT. Talk to ur doctor if you can please.

Abt two years ago the chest pain I'd been feeling started to get worse, and scary. The entire front of my ribcage ached like it was bruised. I wondered if I had an infection. If something was wrong with my bones. Or my heart. I called my Drs office, they said to go to the hospital. So I did! They didn't find anything wrong with me (besides elevated calcium due to all the tums I was eating) but sent me to a Gastro, who prescribed me heartburn medication.

That scary pain? GONE. I dont get it any more. I had it for YEARS. It was SCARY. It didn't FEEL like heartburn, I never would have guessed my heartburn was inflaming my WHOLE chest and making my fuckin BONES hurt.

can confirm, after years of going through Tums like tissue paper - at least a decade here - I finally had an endoscopy (doctors shoving a camera on a tube down your throat to see what's goin on in there) and turns out my acid reflux was so horrible I had severe burns from stomach acid all up and down my throat/esophagus - they said not the *worst* they'd seen, but pretty up there. now I'm on a med that combats it and I haven't needed to chow down rolaids like candy in like three years now. my throat doesn't burn 24/7 now. I don't feel like acid is bubbling up to my mouth every time I try to speak anymore. It's fucking fantastic!

I'm begging anyone that has issues with this kind of stuff to find a gastroenterologist on your insurance (I'm on medicare and the closest one was twenty minutes away, and my visit only cost a 25USD co-pay) - the last thing you need is to be treated for a hole in your throat from the chemical burns some of this can lead to. You deserve to not live in pain all the time.

Taking antacids regularly can actually worsen heartburn, because your stomach will ramp up acid production in response. They're fine to use once in a while, but they won't work to manage chronic heartburn.
