it's somewhere in the middle.
Yes they are complaining and don't realize how bad their predecessors had it.
But, if you look, wages definitely have not kept up with inflation. Rent has far outpaced wages, college tuition has outpaced even inflation, etc.
I work with a guy who is 30, he's young enough to be my kid. He is a professional, worked his way into a position through his skill and hustle that he isn't really qualified for on paper but excels.
His wife has a government job that pays decent but she doesn't really like.
They have 2 small kids and the wife would rather stay home with them.
They are renting a small house from a relative, and would love to get something bigger.
They were looking for properties before covid and decided to save for another year or 2.
Bam. Now they're screwed. Anything suitable is about 100g too high.
Are they screwed though? yes, in a way.
Is it self inflicted? In a way- timing, being too picky, maybe not thrifty enough? Perhaps.
Is it also due to circumstances beyond their control? I would say so.
50 years ago a young family in their situation would be able own property that suits them by now, IMO.
hard to say exactly how those things were done. I like the concept of previous civilizations lost to cataclysm.
From a Christian perspective you could suppose that the world before the flood was a lot different than we are led to believe, for instance who knows what the fallen angels and giants were up to.
But I'm sure it wasn't all done with copper tools and sweat. They were forming stone somehow. Pouring stone like we pour concrete, imo.
It's probably a good thing, and the "Trump effect" has been in play for some time.
The campaigning for these new senators was RELENTLESS. The highest spend I've ever seen for state candidates, ever. The RINOs never had a chance, period.
To the point it was disgusting.
Let me explain. I don't have a problem with replacing dead wood. I don't want RINOs. These guys were probably compromised in some way.
I think we probably would have been better off if they hadn't pussied out and killed the redistricting.
But this nobody candidate coming out of nowhere with huge amounts of money forcing him through? Gives one pause...
I guess you don't want to see how the sausage is made.
I'm sure the new blood will be fine.
article is from 2 days ago but data cited is from 23.
Interesting that they're not showing data from at least the last 6 months which might have started showing effects if tariff deals and the Trump effect.
Some red states are in the negative which I would have thought would be doing better by now.
pretty sure trafficking happens via air travel, on a 1x1 scale, like a grown ass man traveling with a young kid, meeting up with another grown ass man, making the sale AT the airport, kid traveling on with the buyer.
You wouldn't think twice, you're trying to make your flight, trying to find your stupid gate, trying to keep track of your shiz, but when you see 2 grown ass men standing there with a small girl who looks scared, and you know how sick these people are, it COULD be trafficking in plain sight.
TSA wouldn't notice anything they have a hard time seeing knives and bombs in bags WITH an x-ray machine, but ICE might notice something like that.
They wouldn't want to take away the opportunity for the working class underling to have a satisfying time at work handling the trash produced by the elites.
Besides, it's part of the communist work program, you wouldn't want the underling to have no work, after all.
2 party system is an illusion. the repubs and demos are on the same page. few congress critters are genuine maga.
the repubs dont want to win. they campaign and operate as the underdog. they make rousing speeches and fundraise on "we'll get them next time!" but that's all they do.
again: they do not want to win. that's why they played along with Trump in 2016 but when he won they were shellshocked.
they've had majority multiple times but still have passed very little maga agenda.
meanwhile the dems get stuff done whether majority or minority. this should tell you all you need to know.
the repubs are dems who feed off the conservatives because someone has to.
the genuine conservatives get sidelined smeared blackballed blackmailed killed or compromised.
most trafficking is NOT for sex slave or other slavery. Most is for medical experimentation and, I would imagine, body parts along with that.
A lot of normies are having to come to grips with what's come out in the epstein files, and having to accept that the things conspiracy theorists have been saying are true.
But I don't think anyone has been so shocked to need to seek medical care, and these normies are confronting the idea of the elite LITERALLY EATING CHILDREN.
So, what kind of shocking information is still out there?
My thoughts are that it is information about shocking things that have been done to everyone such as covert implants, nano-scale tech, such as for spying, mind control, kill switches, toxic drips to keep people sick, etc.
If people hear the elites have been eating children, thats "over there" but if they find out they've been literally hijacked in their own bodies, they're going to go get help.
so PB said theres nasty cp type stuff in there, and this trick lets people see content that missed the compilation script and likely wasn't censored or removed?
Interesting, but super risky, no? I use VPN and such but still, don't want that shiz on my machines.
the @SpookdBlog guy has been adamant that Bidan was dead even before being sworn in.
I really like his blog posts, very entertaining. He also is in the camp that says HRC was executed, and others. Rampant use of doubles, CGI, masks, even androids according to this guy.
The vid of Bidan walking in the sand at the beach that shows the atlas droid at the same time is pretty convincing.
wait, is it only going to allow sodomy or will it also allow scissoring and ordinary straight sex?
