They keep raising prices, stating that it’s due to inflation, but then they keep having record profits.

Meanwhile, the average American can barely afford rent or food nowadays.

What are we to do? Vote? I have been but that doesn’t seem to do much since I’m just voting for a representative that makes the actual decisions.

    Not to promote violence, but I’m afraid nothing is likely to change until people are pushed far enough to do more than hope.

        That’s why the media pushes every news about shootings to the top of the front page, they want you to be scared of guns, so they can trick you into giving up your gun rights.

        Never give up any rights, period. Rights are not something we get handed out on a frequent basis.
