    retail therapy is cheaper in the short-term than actual therapy though, and for a country where over half the population lives paycheck to paycheck short-term cheap is all most anyone can think about

      sad but true. therapy will cost you $200/hr or more. it’s really a privilege for those that can afford it to lord over everyone else.

      very few retail items are that costly.

      retail therapy to escape the hellscape of late-stage capitalism is like attending an orgy to get over being SA’ed.
