| Anyone tried to buy paint recently? $611 for 2x 5 gallon buckets just to do my garage. |

| You just discovered why your gdp is so high... American prices make no fucking sense to me, some of your double car garages are more expensive than a full high end house in central Europe |

This is an extremely HN specific and tech industry specific comment. Go for a day-long drive through middle America, like from Nebraska to Wyoming or something, and 95%+ of the people you will see are living on less than $60,000 total family income per year. A very small selection of very specific jobs start at $200k a year. | |

| God bless the Trump administration. Sounds like that’s a bunch of my summer task list checked off as No Longer Viable. |

| Dunno, it depends on what brand that is. $60 per gallon sounds about where Sherwin Williams paint has been for a while. |
