I like that.
Well said.
The cost of living (at least where I live) can be blamed on generations of political con artists on both sides of the isle. They slowly but surely gave away our entire nation away to the billionaire class while using wedge issues to make half of the country hate the other half. . They own the courts, the lawmakers, and set the prices however they like. Now they are far too powerful to get that level of control back away from them. Luckily, I remember better times.....and ain't got that many years left to watch it all be destroyed.
