    I hate both sides. How’s the economy doing good when my wife and I work 40+ hours a week, both have college degrees, and can barely afford a 2 bedroom rental apartment in a shit part of the country let alone ever think about owning a house?? Btw second bedrooms for our son.

      Economy’s doing good for the wealthy.

      Meanwhile the rest of us gotta make due with weakened spending power and income, COVID era social benefits being rolled back, etc etc

        It’s not even doing good for the wealthy. Lots of corporate bankruptcies are occurring right now. Any business operating off cheap debt is getting fucking railed. It could be worse but it’s not like they aren’t taking losses right now. Some of them are fucked.

        You wanna hear something really fucked? Every state has a standard of rooms per child at X age. Basically you can only stick two boys or two girls in a bedroom once they’re teenagers. Some states work with the parents and some states (it’s the red ones) charge the parents with child neglect for not meeting this standard. So as this standard becomes completely unattainable what do you think the party of no abortions is going to do? Change the standard, or leverage it to break up minority families?
