My son works full time here in Florida. Let me run his numbers.
State minimum wage is $14/hour. He's at $15.
40 hours a week = $600/week
That's about $2,600/month before taxes.
Florida has no state income tax the thing they sell you on. So after federal and FICA he takes home roughly $2,200.
Average one-bedroom in our area runs about $1,600.
That's 73% of his entire paycheck gone to rent before he eats a single meal.
Leaves him around $600 a month for:
- groceries
- gas
- car insurance
- health insurance
- phone
- emergencies
- savings
Car insurance alone eats a third of that in this state.
He works 40 hours a week and cannot save a dollar. Not because he's careless because there's nothing left to be careless with.
I spent thirty years paying off a house here. He's doing the same job I did at his age and he can't afford a one-bedroom.
That's not a discipline problem. That's not avocado toast.
The floor moved and nobody lowered the ceiling.
Working full time should cover a roof. In Florida it barely covers the rent on one.
We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise.
But he’s betrayed us all.
Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center.
The movement has begun.
So let me get this straight:
The Ai companies are buying up all of our books, scanning them into their software and then destroying the books so that the only place to get that information is through
them And without hard copies they can literally alter any information they want and thus rewrite history to control the future.
The "knowledge is power" war has officially started and we are just .. watching..
They’re destroying the books.
They’re destroying the museums.
They’re prosecuting the scientists.
They’re cutting down the forests.
They’re destroying the planet.
Nobody in America voted for data centers.
Nobody in America voted for AI.
Nobody in America voted for surveillance capitalism.
The entire fabric of our society is being changed without the will of the people.
Without a vote.
I served on the Covid Select Committee on Oversight under Republican leadership.
It was one of most frustrating experiences. I’m pretty sure I was the only unvaccinated member on the committee.
Republicans will never hold Fauci accountable, nor Big Pharma or anyone else, for all the horrific crimes done against the American people during Covid.
It’s all a show.
Just like Trump mocking Joe Biden with the autopen.
Trump will never undo any of Biden’s pardons because he knows he needs to use them later for family and staff, and likely himself.
Trump loves the Covid vaccines and most Republican members of congress got vaccinated. There were very few of us who refused.
It takes 218 members of congress (or a majority) to do anything in congress and most refuse to do anything courageous, which is why nothing ever changes.
Stop looking to your elected leaders to fix things, haven’t you realized yet they lie to you claiming they will and then literally refuse to do it.
Everyday, I wonder when the American people will stop tolerating their government screwing them over.
People who reach a high level of awareness become unsociable. Crowds drain them. Noise overwhelms them. Small talk feels like work. They chill different. A cozy room. Two people they trust. Good food. Music. Conversations that actually mean something. That’s where they feel alive. Depth over noise. Because for them... peace feels like home.
Zionist Republicans: “It’s the Chinese! It’s the Cubans! It’s the Muslims!”
Zionist Democrats: “It’s the Russians! It’s the white nationalists! It’s the racists!”
Normal people: “We know who it is and you both work for them”
It's 2026 and we're getting Flock cameras & data centers & biometric tracking & all the rest of the total digital surveillance state right now.
It doesn't matter whether we voted for Trump or Biden.
Politics is irrelevant.
The end of America.
