So continuing to let millions upon tens of millions illegal aliens into the United States while using your tax dollars to support them through NGO's funded by USAID(YOUR TAXDOLLARS), Medicare(YOUR TAXDOLLARS) and Social Security benefits they have not earned(YOUR TAX DOLLARS) while continuing printing money out of thin air at the rate of 1 Trillion dollars every 100 DAYs and letting the trade deficits go unchallenged while continuing to offshore what remaining jobs the USA does have as President Autopen was doing was a better solution for America???????Only fools think any of this is good
Another example of someone who did what they needed to do rather than doing the bare minimum and bitching about how the world owes you something. You should be commended. I commend you. Nice job.Yes, it is nice, if by "nice" you mean growing up in a single parent working-class household in a neighborhood I thought was fun, but realized as I got older it's what people generally refer to as "government projects." Then self-funding college working shitty jobs, then working 50+ hours a week for a large employer for the past 3 decades while cultivating a consulting biz on the side that sucks up another 20 hours a week. Yeah, it's been nice.

Right on man and congratulations on hard earned success in life, this is what it's supposed to be about and IMO more people deserve those opportunities as well and not as a hand out either.......Yes, it is nice, if by "nice" you mean growing up in a single parent working-class household in a neighborhood I thought was fun, but realized as I got older it's what people generally refer to as "government projects."

I hear ya. Most of my co-workers make similar money to me. I work a lot of OT when I can, so for instance I made an extra 30k on top of my straight time last year, but basically we all make pretty good money. Most of them, especially the young ones, live beyond their means. I mean I guess not really, but they carry big debt. $80,000 trucks, $350,000 mortgages. I live in the same house I bought for about 60k 25 years ago, I bought the house next to me for cash about 5 years ago. My shit is paid off. I don't even have a car payment. Recently They turned off the OT spigot. For those morons it means they have to scramble and spend savings or use credit cards to sustain their life. For me it means I probably have to wait a few months before I buy the HK AP5 I have my eye on.I work with 40 or so people that can't break the poverty cycle, yet 5 or 6 of us are doing well.
It's the choices people make. The choice to have skills or not, to live week to week or not, to pay too much for a house or not, to vape or buy weed or not, to have another kid or not, to eat out twice a day or not...
Most folks are their own worst enemy.
OT spigot got cut where I'm at also, although I work 50hrs+ regardless. I can still work as much as I need because I have 45 yrs of welding/millwright/mechanic experience. General laborers moan about it cause they made shit choices years ago as far as skills required to survive, and the company doesn't need stoned line workers on OT riding the clock.I hear ya.

It's all about priorities. That is, choices. Most people make poor ones.
