How is the average person living paycheck to paycheck not in the streets protesting our sucky president? Every week I can't understand why people continue to put up with it.

Americans think the US will be improved by expanding wars, increasing the debt, and adding more tyranny when the reason the USA is crashing is because the US has wars, is in debt, and has a police state. Americans used to say that they love freedom, but now they turn around and say they need the government to give them free Obamacare, build a wall, protect the US from Yemen, wiretap their phones, arrest people for feeding the homeless, stop farmers from plowing fields, force people to get rid of dogs, ban vaping, and torture suspects.

They were trying to impeach Trump because of mean tweets, ha! I don't see how people are making their rent/mortgages, utilities, insurance, etc. Assuming average rent/mortgage is $2,000 per moment (which may include property taxes and homeowner's insurance), car and insurance payment of $500, $400 health insurance (one person), $500 food ($16 per day), $300 utilities, and $200 gas, and $100 miscellaneous expenses, that is almost $50K per year without calculating any other expenses (credit cards, student loans, gifts, vacations, clothes and shoes, car repair, insurance co-pays). Splitting the rent/mortgage with another person brings it to $40K a year just to survive. One can make $20 per hour and after taxes, it is impossible to live a mid-middle class life without going into more debt. |

Forum Administrator 07/08/2022 11:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It’s the cheap food that makes you fat. Produce and healthy meat are the most expensive groceries per calorie. Dollar menu McDonalds is for poor people. Honestly, for half the price of 4 people eating McDs crap, I can put a health meal on the table of chicken or roast, and 2 vegetables. In the summer, with my veggie garden, make that steak (bought on special) and 2 veggies, for the price of McD junk. I cook pretty much every evening. Granted, it does require some planning and some work. Tonight is roast chicken with purple hulls from my garden, and mashed potatoes.

Probably around August. Truckers are already struggling to make a profit. Big agro can't afford ammonium nitrate, etc. Most people have no idea what's coming. Boris Johnson and those 50 some prime minsters (probably Abe too) don't want to be in the public eye when things go nuts. They're all trying not to end up like the "rich people" in SriLanka that are being killed by mobs. They're leaving the cities, and it's a smart move. Probably futile, but better than staying in the middle of all those pissed off citizens. When peoples kids are hungry, and social services non-existent, people will go nuts. Take away the grocery, electric, heating, cooling, water, liquid fuel, etc and cities will become nightmares in short order. |

The question isn't "where will they get their wealth", it's "where will they get the hydrocarbons their citizens require to continue generating their wealth". Honestly, I don't think they're concerned at all. There will be plenty of people to subjugate even after a 50-70% die-off. I don't think a lack of "workers" is even on their radar. |
