Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.

I didn’t know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn’t discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could’ve been better and the food selection could’ve been better, but they were there for me and others who’re strapped on budgets.

And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could’ve been worse.

    So much this. Please let politics be boring again.

    Instead of trying to make idiocracy happen faster than previously believed to be possible.

    I really miss having the delusion that MOST people were good, just more susceptible to media influence and bullshit.

    Fuck, I really miss that. What a good response, thx!

      There’s a reason “may you live in interesting times” is a curse.

      Though I’m not sure the current times are really that interesting. More like terminally stupid.
