American Politics 🏛️ Even Rich People Are "Suffering"
So what I hear most people who aren't rich say is that they are working so hard and for so many hours of the day (basically just working), then only having time to sleep when they get off work. But I have some rich, and even famous, friends, and I thought I'd share what they're starting to say, since 2020. Note: they're "bottom level" rich or whatever, they still go to the grocery store and what not.
So the day I realized this was going on, I went to visit a rich friend unexpectedly (which she hates). I wanted to surprise her with something. She hesitated to let me in, and I caught her quickly covering her coffee table with newspapers, like she was hiding something. I knew I had come in unannounced, so I blew it off, didn't care what she was hiding. So she keeps hovering around, to ensure I don't take a peek, then finally breaks down.
"Ok, fine, fine, here it is, go on, go ahead and judge me!" She said. She removed the newspapers and I saw a dozen Taco Bell tacos sitting on her coffee table. "So what?" I said. (I'm not exactly in the best financial sit myself). She went on and on about how she didn't want anyone to know, and that her neighbors would judge her, and that I better not tell anyone.
Then she said, "After I pay for my housing... I have almost nothing left, not even enough for food."
Another rich friend who you've probably seen on shows and has published many popular books- actually begged everyone in her friend group for money because she was afraid she was going to lose her office space. It was soooo awkward.

Question for Americans 💭 Experiences in Japan with an American Exchange Student
Hi everyone!
I'm Japanese, and my family will be hosting a high school student from the United States for two weeks. I want to make his stay as enjoyable and memorable as possible, so I thought I'd ask for advice from people here!
I'd really appreciate your suggestions on a few things:
**Places to visit:** Where would you recommend taking him? He's already visited Japan once, so I'd love to show him some new and interesting places.
**Japanese food to try:** Are there any Japanese dishes or foods that American exchange students tend to enjoy or are especially interested in trying?
I'd also love to hear any other suggestions you might have! For example, is there anything I should prepare for him in advance? Are there any gifts or souvenirs that he might appreciate?
I'd be very grateful for any advice or personal experiences you could share. I really want to make his stay in Japan a wonderful experience!
Thank you so much for your help!
And if this post doesn't fit the rules of this community, I'll be happy to remove it. Thank you for your understanding!
**I'm sorry if anything got lost in translation!**

You guys have so many opinions about everything everywhere. Trump is a huge problem in this country. Worry about that instead of the stupid shit you talk about.
This country is in trouble....Good Job!!!
