Absolutely NUTS here. The $20 per hour decree for fast food workers (a decent burger, some fries, and some OJ at Carl’s Junior clocks in at around $16 now...) nudged up the entire industry.

You can not have freedom without borders

Without borders you will let people in who will try to enslave you for their own personal gain possibly through the use of a third party

Yes, I spend more on things like gas and entertainment than most people, and yes, I could trim a bit by more careful grocery shopping (and ditching my nightly wine...), but it’s far, far more expensive than it used to be to maintain a standard of living.

The Middle Class, where I live, has been eviscerated. Over the past five years, my monthly expenses have increased nearly $2,000. I’ve not changed anything.

Same house, same car, same pretty much everything. Insurance, groceries, and literally everything else have just skyrocketed. (Example: took a friend to lunch. We both had BLTs. He had water. I had iced tea. The tab, with tip was $54. Going out for lunch used to be fun. Not any more!). That $2K used to be MY money.
