  1. As a mental math whiz, I've been trying to describe this problem to my parents for years. At 18 year old, I figured out this problem pretty quickly just by looking at my first tax stub. Btw, I'm 29 now; married, home, children etc. People wonder why I'm a minimalist in my personal habits; this is one of the primary reasons. Every DIME you can save now is a DOLLAR that won't be robbed from you in the future. Every cheap/healthy habit you can form NOW is going to be a lifestyle that affords you a good living in the economy that we are creating right now! For every dollar YOU put into Social Security that is matched by employer, you will receive 50 cents before you die. For the average American, that is a mathematical fact! Not only that, but we have a demographic crisis that is going to further bankrupt to ability to even pay for the current mandatory spending. Boomers and Gen X did NOT have enough children to pay for their retirement habits. You want to know why we're having labor shortages? It's not due to laziness, nor even unemployment insurance. The savings, the stimulus money, and the insurance money has been exhausted. There's a labor shortage because we don't have enough people to take over for retirees. Covid jump started this inevitability. Those 7 Millions men you keep hearing about in the news that are unemployed; they're not kids. They're 50-65 year old men that have retired early. Once you understand the financial and demographic disaster we are facing, the faster everything else starts to make sense. This is all about the numbers folks.

  2. "You've expressed some illogical and dangerous positions; just about everything under the sun. But, I will only bring up a few points today." As someone who grew up with an NPD mother, I can tell you for sure that this woman is a narcissist. This is a classic example of gaslighting.

  3. Actually, I think it's really smart. It attracts the eye and many people are a bit drowsy from the white/red hats. A new look draws new attention in many ways.

  4. Unfortunately, they are your neighbors and their teenage kids. Never underestimate how contemptuous and envious normal people can become when they are given the illusion that everybody outside of their sphere is evil. This is exactly what happened during the beginning of the Soviet Union. A major rise in morally broken and disenfranchised citizens can easily put 'evil' people into power.

  5. She sounds like a narcissist, she gaslighted him from the start.

  6. These corporations and politicians are jerking us all around; then laughing while we fight each other.

  7. My wife and I made the same income in 2020 that we did in 2023. Our expenses on the same items are up 40-75% between insurance, food, etc. The economy sucks because everybody got taxed an additional 30% under the guise of 'inflation'.

  8. It was 14 months old and put down for killing a chicken... No such thing as a 'violent' 14 month old dog that was shown love and raised correctly. Sounds like they beat and neglected the dog into craziness and then used him for target practice.

  9. He was asked to leave as a condition of the FOX v. Dominion settlement. Tucker Carlson's testimony also prove that he was fully aware of Fox's intentionally misleading and false reporting.

  10. She started with gaslighting; he should of ignored her in all honesty.

  11. She's a narcissist, notice how to poses her question at the start by (basically) insulting his intelligence.

  12. This is truly the stuff that makes me want to leave this country and reinvest my assets and cash overseas. Doesn't matter where you go; Montana, Florida, California, Iowa, etc. 1. The fields and their air are contaminated with glyphosate. 2. The water-sheds are all poisoned with hormones, PFA's, drug and chemical traces. 3. The land is largely contaminated with industry chemicals and polys. Even 3rd world countries don't have these problems.

  13.  @YourForkSave  Well, that's just the crux of it. People can't do what they want AND demand free healthcare at the same time. Not that you are saying that, but many Americans are. There needs to be a standard.

  14. She's not clueless; she's a narcissistic. She doesn't actually care about the question. She came out of the gates by gaslighting him. I grew up with an NPD mom; she is just trying to make herself look good in front of people. That's all she cares about.

  15.  @mattkrell726  Does your family support you?

  16. There's a lot of people in the US that love to think that the debt doesn't matter. Here's the problem, that debt have to grow linear with GDP. (This hasn't happened consistently since the 1980s). As long as debt outperforms GDP; prices will rise and your wages will stagnate. Eventually, the debt crisis will force most people into poverty.

  17. The illegal immigrants are not the ones I blame. They are being given opportunities to escape their situations world-wide. I blame the corporations and politicians who have paid these international organizations to bring them here via plane, boat, and bus.

  20.  @TomBarbashev  Not very adult-like attitude if you ask me. Perhaps you should make more logical statements with more decency.

  21.  @RobertJara-m3k  Is was a perfect answer to a dumb question.

  22. Seems to be the case. A large number of people duped by social media companies and a number of Congressional officials that pulled strings to make it as theatrical and dramatic as possible.

  23. As much as I like Vivek, there are two major problems that he is not addressing in his campaign. 1. The elephant in the room 'inflation'. Expanding the energy sector back up is not going to get America back to where it was in the 1980s. 2. The subject everyone loves to ignore; labor shortages and rapidly changing demographics. Social Security is now projected to be cut by 23% in 2034 in order to continue functioning. Retirees are piling up and there aren't enough young people to pay forward their social safety nets. We do not have enough cops to properly police cities, we don't have enough correctional officers to maintain the prisons. Let alone military personal and border security that can do the same job in volume that they did 20 years ago. None of these things are being addressed! You can talk policy and law all day long, but until you address the employment shortages in these key areas, nothing is going to change.

  24. Not a fan of the man whatsoever! I'll give him a bit of credit on foreign policy, but he was a freaking disaster regarding domestic economics. This man appointed Jerome Powell and tried to get the federal funds rate under 0.25% in 2020. Which gave us ridiculous inflation in the markets. Everybody and their brother jumped onto cheap mortgages to push rent and got new cars. It drove demand sky high and prices increased with it. We created nothing along the way, which is why wages stayed stagnant. Now the American dream is practically dead for the next generation. Explain to the average 18 year old how he is going to afford a $427,000 home (average price). On top of high energy costs, student loans, or even basic amenities. Republicans have NO plan for any of this and it will cost them in the election.

  25. It's not going to raise GDP enough to bring wages back to where they were. Money printing under his administration was so damaging that it will take something of 10-15 years of progress to bring back what we had.

  26. Nothing we can do about it; everything is tied to USD. I say let it burn...

  27. She probably did; she's a very noticeable narcissistic. All she cared about was getting 'clapped' for in a crowd. She doesn't care about the question or the answer. She gaslighted him from the start.

  28. Posting online after 4pm isn't the same as spending an entire day (let alone week) at a political convention. Given the current economic crisis, how on earth can people afford to go and protest when prices are high and work is scarce?

  29.  @cynthj796  Well, the ones that are actually homeschooling. There's a large majority of homeschooling parents that yanked their kids over political jargon they saw on the news. Those same parents are completely neglecting their kids and are falling behind now.

  30. Same!

  31.  @joelspring6201  I don't see how this fits the context at all. You people make excuses for Trump going nuts when you shouldn't. I know you wouldn't give Biden a pass if he made these statements.
    4
  32.  @TomBarbashev  Elaborate using your extensive reasoning skills.

  33. "Trump says mean things, he's Hitler!" "Biden does mean things, he's Jesus!" At this point, I'm starting to think American complacency gives it a much deserved death.

  34. You're forgetting that poll worker shortages are still causing many issues in recent elections.

  35.  @jeffryblackmon4846  Where are you deducting racism from? Maybe he is just cold about low-lives and stupid people?

  36.  @jnananinja7436  So based on a slow motion video and the logic that (ALL front ends of vehicles) stopped or not are an immediate danger; you make judgement on this premise? I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm an extremely rational person. Your comment doesn't make any sense. Should of, would of, could of etc doesn't count as "I had knowledge of the dangers before-hand and dictation that this was indeed murder." It's arrogant....

  37. We have a serious problem with stupidity in this country. There's either something in the water or the screens are making kids (now adults) beyond dumb. Perhaps ID's and permits for social media use? Some 90% of the users don't even know reality from fantasy. They see a cop shoot someone online and then they go to Kroger thinking that cops are 'hunting' black people.

  38.  @kodykendall  Buddy, don't virtue signal on here; that's poor taste. If you don't like the comment; object from a position of logic, not credentials and power smh

  39. This is the problem, there are a total of 5 people that select WHEN and HOW hearings and votes are going to be conducted. They manipulate the process by screwing anybody that doesn't play ball and adjourn everyone when someone starts talking common sense.

  40. Same!

  41. That truly is a dumb quote lol

  42.  @TomBarbashev  I live in reality; perhaps you should return to it. What's your obsession with (Mr. Potato-head Biden) in reference to insulting me?

  43. What are you talking about? What does getting Trump out of office have to do with surviving?

  44. From what I heard, the barbed wire that was setup impeded officers from accessing a large number of migrants in an area down by the Rio. They cut the wire in order to get to the migrants and send them to the nearby encampment.

  45. Because they are trying to fool people into thinking it was 10,000 people, when in reality it was more like 6000.

  46. "I'm a woman; therefore I exude competence and held back potential." Some context for young people! People that use victimhood to gain power ALWAYS abuse it.

  47.  @Flash3-22  Term limits (meaning) you can't run 12 times for Congressional Rep.
    3
  48.  @vagabondwastrel2361  I recall that the Proud Boys were being brought up on Federal charges for storing a cache of firearms near the Congressional building to use (had Trump said that they needed to invoke a militia to overthrow the government).

  49. Oh she does alright! Has what it takes to get us into WW3.

  50. Yeah, it was roughly 6000 people. Nearly a quarter of the entire stadium was vacant.
