Late Stage Capitalism
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

I've decided to eat out less and cook at home more often. I've been looking up recipes and have taken some inspiration from Great Depression era cooking. I have access to seasonings still so I can take something like a Hoover Stew and flavor it up as well as use slightly better ingredients for more flavor. It's cheap, pretty tasty, filling, and lasts a while.
I'm fortunate I have a regional grocery chain and don't have to shop at Wal-Mart or Target for my groceries and some toiletries. For everything else though, I gauge heavily "Do I need this at all?" I've reached a point where I'm not spending as much as I did and working to pay down debts as well as save.
