If we were president, we’d straight up do away with these 18 ridiculous things….
Hidden Fees
It’s bad enough that the cost of things then creeps up because of tax and VAT – but for the love of God, that’s enough. Most folks budget for things and shouldn’t have to factor in any sneaky (and frankly, unnecessary) hidden fees.
Pop-Up Ads
Those ones that still somehow seem to find a way to creep around our pop-up blockers… and the advertiser belongs in hell if said ad has loud music attached to us that makes us jump so hard we nearly poop ourselves.
Someone’s Life Story On A Recipe
It’s a recipe for lasagna, Carole. We don’t need to know about your neighbor’s uncle’s second cousin twice-removed’s stint in the Vietnam war. Give us the goods, woman.
Medical Bills
Is it us or is the medical industry the biggest con in America right now? Healthcare is a universal right and it should be affordable. Nobody wants to wind up in the ER because of a broken leg – and they sure as heck don’t want to pay thousands of dollars for the ‘privilege’.
Child Beauty Pageants
How have these god-awful things not been banned yet? They’re so creepy, disturbing, and morally bankrupt it’s unreal. Don’t pit kids against each other like that – there’s nothing okay about it. And as for the parents and judges – shame on you all.
Prank Videos
Nine times out of ten, they’re not funny, they’re just mean. Leave the prank vids to the likes of Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O.
Puppy Mills
Another shameful part of our society that we frankly can’t believe is (for the most part) legal is puppy mills/farms. These poor animals are bred and reared in inhumane conditions to then be sold to people of questionable ethics and intent. If you’re thinking of adding a furry friend to your family, please – for the love of God – adopt, don’t shop.
Overpriced Pharmaceuticals
It shouldn’t be this expensive to live. Again, healthcare is a universal right and should be affordable – for everyone. People shouldn’t have to spend their hard-earned money paying unthinkable insulin costs to manage their diabetes.
Scientology
Anyone who ever watched the Louis Theroux documentary on this terrifying cult will know how evil and backwards it is. The sooner the Church of Scientology is disbanded, the better.
The Politics-Religion Overlap
Religion should not bleed into politics and politics should not bleed into religion. These are two very different entities in our society – one we follow by choice and the other because we have to. Non-believing citizens should not have to adhere to rules spurned by religious oppression. Keep Jesus out of Congress!
Megachurches
While we’re on a rant about questionable aspects of religion, there is nothing commendable about the multi-million-dollar enterprises that are megachurches, which are run by grifters and con artists like Joel Osteen who do not need to do the Lord’s work from the comfort of a private jet.
Putin
Pooty is all but committing war crimes and frankly we’ve had enough of him. Leave Ukraine alone and go back under whatever rock you came from.
Pug Breeding
The UK is close to banning pug and bulldog breeding, owing to the cruelty of pure-breeding animals with severe respiratory issues, and we hope the United States is next. These poor pups can’t breathe.
Foods With Words Like “Guilt-free” Or “Skinny”
Food companies who think it’s okay to have this type of wording on their products need to take a moment to realize how outdated and damaging this narrative is. Food shouldn’t have any guilt attached to it and skinny isn’t necessarily synonymous with healthy.
40-Hour Work Week
Boomers seem to be clinging onto this archaic structure for dear life, but younger generations have realized that the cracks have been showing for a long time with the 40-hour work week, and it’s simply not sustainable anymore.
Diet Culture
Anyone else had enough of the word ‘diet’? Because same, fam. We don’t know who needs to hear this but YOU DON’T NEED TO GO ON A DIET. Eat well, drink your water, move your body, enjoy a treat occasionally – it’s as simple as that.
Incel Groups

The rise in the ‘involuntary celibate’ (incel) groups and their damaging rhetoric online is becoming alarming. Talk to the guys in your life; educate them that women are not the enemy and that these groups are extremely harmful – to everyone.
Poor Arms Control
School shootings are the single biggest threat to life in America in 2023 – so much so that kids are being taught a ‘duck & cover’ protocol on what to do if there’s a shooter in their school. Here’s a better idea: ban assault weapons so kids can actually get an education safely.

Each generation has its quirks. Most label it as an “old person thing” when asked why grandpa or grandma does something unusual. The defense from the other side is that “it was the way things were back in our day.”
