@LeonMilner@Aella_Girl My husband and I work full time (from home and occasionally onsite), and we homeschool. We aren't even close to rich. We're also traveling around this year, farm sitting, adventuring, among other things. It is entirely doable, though not easy. It just requires a lot of parents.
@esaagar Why are you so vehemently, zealously anti-cannabis? Some of the brightest, most productive and healthy people I know use it with regularity and they would also swear it helped mitigate many of their previous difficulties.
@krystalball Doubt it was the ICE protests. Most folks were for something fair and balanced, they just didn't want a continuation of an open border. They also don't want hard-working immigrants who are contributing to their communities to be rounded up and treated like criminals.
@hisMrs2014@vocaldissent_@logiclives Ah! Good to hear! We are pretty familiar and are hoping for spots a bit closer to the mountains, but my husband is from Georgia, so he's warned me. So sad so many beautiful spots have been taken over!
@stormrobinson YES. Absolutely. It reminds me of how they scoff at RFK in one breath while keeping their kids away from the very food he's working to remove from the shelves. 'Poor folks should have the choice to poison themselves, but get that shit away from my family!'
@krystalball I'm annoyed by their whining too, but you've missed the point. Liberals with wealth who virtue signal about caring for poor people joined forces to have Mamdani elected. Actual poor folks didn't want him, and they're the ones who will have to eat that toxic government cheese.
@realDonaldTrump As someone who despises both CNN and NYT, I can say unequivocally that you are still wrong. The sites are not completely destroyed, and if they were, you wouldn't know about it yet.
@Grand_Ole_Evan Why should the US and Israel have nukes, but not Iran? For many Iranians, a regime change would be applauded, but every time the US gets involved in overthrowing a country's leader, the place devolves into utter chaos. Imagine if someone bombed us to save us from our leaders.
