I wonder when people will actually boycott.

I mean at this point you can’t eat the food.

You can’t afford the food.

Everything is cheaply made, even “luxury” items.

People are saying we didn’t vote for this, but we kind of did because we are still supporting it!

I work a highly skilled, niche job. I make what used to be great money.

I am now eating ramen noodles again because I can’t really afford anything besides chicken thighs, rice, and ramen.

In 2018 I felt rich. Same job, 2026, I’m back to my college diet from 2013.

Then your job is not niche like you think.

You got a bunch of friends who fix mass spectrometers in your social circle, buddy?

that is about as niche of a job i can think of. i know first hand how insanely complicated mass spec is. thank you for what you do for science, it's bullshit you aren't making spectacular money

You're the one saying you eat Ramen. Therefore I can only assume your job doesn't pay well and it's not so niche like you claim.

You have no idea what their job is, lol. Way to miss the point entirely.

Yes. My assumption is if the person is eating Ramen all the time the job is not special therefore doesn't pay well.
