3The financial underclassmen hanging on by the atoms of the tips of their fingernails, stubbornly refusing to die I guess. Insane. Things are so cooked now.

I just want to point out, even in my position I've thought twice about buying cigarettes. I don't know how the rest of everybody else is doing this. I don't think people should, everybody deserves better than this. We've seen other countries siphon off our wealth in the most vulnerable of American times, we wrecked our economy over the coughies, everybody got greedy and decided they'd lift the prices of everything and keep them that way.
I don't know what the solution to this is at this point.
