So, friendship here is a noun in the singular form, which calls for the use of the third person singular, is, not are. Friendship between girls is so beautiful. Unless you’re referring to the girls being beautiful, in which case you’re right in both cases.

Thank you for enjoying Pedant’s Grammar Comment.

Fun fact, the Soviets were the real space pioneers. They pretty much were first at everything except the moon landing.

I can back this up with a list from one of Carl Sagan’s books if there are sceptics out there.

I have the ungrateful job of teaching English. I have two types of students. Screenies and non-screenies. The former are like this meme, they pick up a lot from popular culture, games, etc, and are often bored with classes. Then you have the latter group, they have very little exposure to English and usually very little interest as well. A third group exists, and they’re the kids that are in between and do the work in class.

Now one would think that getting everyone into the first group would make my job easy, however, those kids are usually a special subset of kids who will learn independently just from their interests. The other two groups could do hour for hour exactly the same as the Screenies, but they would never reach that proficiency level without other instruction. On the other hand, a lot of screenies do poorly at formal English, like grammar, spelling and word choice, because much of their learning is casual.

So long story short, to the meme, yeah, I know.

Compensating for relative lower income with low cost of consumer products is a bit like pissing your pants to get warm. The underlying issue is declining wages, caused by the loss of labor power. If people had decent wages a rise in prices would not be a problem. But while scraping by a rise in prices is a huge problem.
