This is a completely valid point, but my comment above was mostly about people who know what time it is and that we're not getting out of this without some hard times (though how hard remains to be seen).

Unpopular opinion, but he's right (though maybe for the wrong reasons). People in this corner seem willing to acknowledge that fixing things long term will necessitate some short term suffering, which is why I found it particularly absurd that people who cheer on the collapse were so upset about gas prices. Maybe Iran was a bad place to start (I oppose it, but I don't think there are no positives), but thinking we're going to fix things without negatively affecting you is childish.
Remember, Lindsey Graham's support played a significant role in getting the BBB passed, which provided funding for ICE. Many said at the time that bombing Iran was probably on the table for his support. This is how politics works.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum blames the midterm results on selfish voters who were unwilling to "suffer financially for a higher good": "Nobody likes to do it, but we all suffer." https://t.co/Ud8BGiHvaZ
When we moved from AL (67 counties) to GA (159 counties) my Dad thought it was crazy. But I quite like the idea of trying to keep local politics small (and local). I live in one of the more populated counties in GA, and I'd like to see it broken up.
One downside of marrying an immigrant is that you never get "I'm taking the kids to my parents' house for the weekend." I need 24 hours of not having to worry about anything every now and then.
Today is the 17 year anniversary of meeting my wife. Within
- 1 mo we were dating
- 1 yr we were living together
- 18 mos we were engaged
- 2 yrs we were married
We knew pretty quick we were in love and probably could've married sooner. Don't waste time. If you've found someone, make her your wife and start a family.
The even blacker pill is that boomers no longer have it either and theyโre maybe even down worse than kids. My dad has a whole basement + a small barn full of books and all he consumes now is quick-hit libtard rage bait on Facebook
<puts on tinfoil hat> They had to keep gas prices artificially high to push the "Dems turned out big time because of prices" narrative otherwise this insane turnout would've looked too insane.
