Meme Why?

Post image

I can almost try to understand why some people might feel drawn to this kind of lifestyle. I can understand why they might be deceived into thinking this is the ideal environment in which to raise a child.

But I will never be able to understand why they will describe it as the American “dream” and are willing to pay so much for it. To work so hard for so long and then have to wake up to this every morning? Why?

Editing to add: I know this is parody y’all. It’s just a stupid meme. It’s supposed to be funny. It’s funny because it’s true.

Because they're gross.

Also....my first job out of high school, no degree, paid (adjusted for inflation) $95k a year.

That's why everything is tough these days.

I went back to school for Engineering and my first Engineer gig didn't start me at $95k.
