So what exactly are people marching for? High gas prices for the past decade? Food and housing costs climbing like we’re all secretly tech CEOs? A medical system that’ll hand you a $4,000 bill for breathing in the lobby before your name’s even called?

Maybe it’s the $1,800 rent for a single-bedroom apartment with “community amenities” that are just a locked gym and a broken pool? Or the $200 grocery bill that somehow fits in two plastic bags? $7 eggs? $9 milk? But sure… let’s argue about everything except that.

Are we marching for the education system that loads kids with $150k in student loans just so they can apply for a job paying $19 an hour and be told they “don’t have enough experience”? Or the credit score system that rewards debt and punishes you for paying in cash?

Or maybe we’re protesting $300 monthly car insurance on a used Honda while billion-dollar insurance companies cry about “risk”? Or the wage system where “entry level” requires 5 years experience but pays less than rent?

Maybe it’s the part where we pay taxes for roads that look like warzones, schools that still use textbooks from 1998, and government offices that take 6 months to respond with, “We’re reviewing your request.”

Someone enlighten me on what’s REALLY bothering everyone because apparently it’s not the $12 fast food meal that used to cost $4, the shrinking paychecks, or watching everything get more expensive EXCEPT wages. Oh right… I forgot y’all are millionaires getting free checks in the mail every month while sipping $9 iced coffees talking about “change.” 🤦‍♂️💀

Make. It. Make. Sense.

The actual size of Hawaii when compared to the rest of the United States 😳
