Retard?

Just a note: the use of the word 'retard' is frowned upon here and in most of today's society. It's probably considered on par with the n-word.

Oh yeah? Screw you, you LYING progressive piece of crap! Screw you and the Democratic ticket you rode in on!

See how you turn on a dime, Cam? You're nothing but an intellectually dishonest shape shifter! And that's all you'll ever be around here. I've got your number good and proper. I'll bet you LIED about opposing Trump and voting for Biden. That's ALL you do is LIE. You really should have maintained a relationship with the Democrats. After all, their symbol is a jack ass, JACK ASS!

I don't have great answers for the growing inequality problem but here's a start.

stuff is cheap thanks to decades of outsourcing, and anything that can't be readily outsourced: land, education, healthcare is expensive. A pair of Jeans costs more today than when I was a kid (depending somewhat on brand). But a pair of jeans given the massive scale of production should be almost free. Well, in real terms, clothes are almost free.

In addition:

property -- everyone's heard about institutional investors buying up SFH's. 1/3 are foreign investors.
healthcare -- in addition to the real value of healthcare, I think insurance drives costs up higher when in theory, it shouldn't.
education -- beyond real value, not sure about any additional factors.

One option is to move to Mexico. I'm becoming increasingly aware of both left and right wingers moving to Mexico -- I've heard is it's way safer than the press lets on and healthcare is pretty good; great vets.

I have to partially agree with A-Mike's sentiment about college. Even when I went to school, the value was questionable in terms of future income and I paid for everything with a part-time job. Another bad: Since I went to BYU, I was brainwashed with conservative ideas.

A hammer, oversized stapler, and a razor knife with hook blades will run less than 50$ and you'll be in the black the first day. College just might be a really bad choice these days for most kids.

On the other hand, kids may be factoring in the ability to get away with not paying the government back. I can totally support kids taking that risk; assuming they understand it is a risk. Look, I recall many, many years ago, my parents grumbled about some extended family of ours using Medicare benefits. Uber conservative and TBM and the couple both lived over 100, and so that's a lot of years of benefits. Best guess is that they were easily worth over 100M$. If anyone on the rich scale at all can use Medicare to pay for their healthcare, I'm all for giving the thumbs up to kids today with diminishing prospects turning the tables a little, stiffing the government on their education bills if they can get away with it.
