Not really. Things are pretty f’d up after 40 years of full bore globalism.
The ‘Pandemic’ Was Easy compared to current times.
We Always had Someone to Tell us
What to Do, Where to Stand and How to
Behave. Big Brother ain’t dead Yet.
Agree. Not to mention these kids spend four years at a university that preaches the evils of capitalism... and charges them top dollar plus interest for the experience. Then they get out and can’t get a job, because no matter how smart they’ve been told they are, AI is smarter and their pricey, politically-soaked degree is worthless. But they still have to pay it back, because those woke, egalitarian, collectivist universities were happy to send them to the nearest bank for a loan, happy to charge them for extra classes they didn’t need for their major, happy to charge them capitalist prices for the text books... no wonder their brains are scrambled.
Thoughtcrime around here.
Yep. (I’m agreeing with you today, central_va!)
Forty years of increasingly undercut wages and rising prices have put too many Americans on the same deep decline that their country is on overall.
Agreed. The value of a dollar has nose-dived. For those at the very high end and very low end of the income spectrum on government support, this is of little consequence. Those of us in the middle pay the freight, and are hit the hardest. I’ve mentioned here before, but my monthly expenses have increased roughly $1,800 in the past four years, with zero changes in lifestyle. Insurance, food, utilities, gas, and everything else skyrocketed. That money used to be my ‘fun’ money for eating out, travel, gifts, etc. Don’t do much of that these days, and it’s hard not to be pissed about it. Worked my ass off all of my life, hoping to enjoy the fruits of my labor at some point, but that just isn’t in the cards any longer. Alot of folks are in the exact same boat.
Dear lord we absolutely agree on something.
