They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

    The same. You can even get wood for free sometimes if someone in your area cuts down a tree in their yard and curbsides the refuse.

    It’s not difficult. You just want to make it seem difficult to justify not having to put thought and effort into solving problems. You can’t just buy your way out of everything.

      Free wood that you have to store in a dry area for year or so to season then mill and plane it?

      You can literally buy your way out of anything.

      Look at the Kardashians, they bought themselves famous.

        Then why are you here instead of buying stuff like a good corporate shill?

        Sounds like we better wall the whAaAAaAmbulance because you have a fatal case of that shit.

        In general:

        Any difficulties a problem may have is our responsibility to come up with solutions for and overcome. That can never happen if people adopt the self-serving, cynical, negative attitude you are determined to pose on others here.

        Now since you don’t want to talk about the subject in good faith, you can go elsewhere.

          You like quadrupled the length of this comment with your edit so I figured I’d respond again.

          You can build your mattress out of people’s curbside garbage and I’ll keep answering however I’d like to.

            What you are is being sent outside.

            Go touch some grass and then you’ll see it’s possible to actually do for yourself. You won’t discourage us from breaking away from your masters.
