"If Everything Is So Great, Why Are Millions Of Americans Sleeping In Their Vehicles?"
You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who says "everything is so great" right now. Not even the most optimistic are making such a claim. HOWEVER, if you take the time to compare America's bounceback from 2020 to the bouncebacks of other countries, you'll see that the U.S. is doing much, much, MUCH better than every other nation. Many nations are still struggling horribly from the Coronavirus aftermath because of poor leadership.
Don't forget, just like the Spanish Flu pandemic 100 years ago, society can't just jump back to the way everything was after so much changed. But America's staying the course and we've overcome so much more than other nations have been able to. This should be celebrated! We should enjoy the bouncebacks we've accomplished without sarcastically claiming that anyone's saying "everything's so great".
As for people sleeping in their cars and living in vans and sharing apartments with tons of strangers... society changes throughout generations. Our grandparents would be shocked and dismayed that we spent time at a computer rather than being outside living life! Looking at weird porn rather than caring for our elders, and so on.
An elderly tenant of mine passed away. She had antique furniture from the 1800s, no doubt inherited. Her rental agreement said she had no relatives, no next of kin, and her emergency contact was ME. I tried to get rid of her classic antiques and nobody was interested. They were in nearly pristine condition. The only buyers for such items are *also* elderly, because young people don't have any appreciation for these things in the least. Why own a nine foot tall grandfather clock with brass inlays when your phone can tell you what time it is? Why own an ivory-keyed organ when your phone can play anything you want to hear? And so on.
And another weird thing about today's youth is that they don't place much value on dating, on sex, or especially on marriage. I read an article posing the question if anyone else had noticed how sex and "naughty stuff" was disappearing from TV shows and movies. They blamed young people's lack of interest in it. Young people today would rather choose entertainment with no focus on sexy stuff. I never would've seen that coming.
Social Security just announced a 3.5% increase for next year. That's the type of raise expected in a "normal" year. How did these folks come up with this figure? Inflation is about that much each and everymonth! And, this is without an expected increase in MediCare premiums? Homeowners and auto insurances have taken a big jump. I have a strong feeling that millions of seniors, who worked all their lives, paid their taxes and their bills, will be joining those living in vans. This is the United States of America? Time for a revolution?
I virtually lived in my cargo van (few amenities) about 8-9 months every year for 10 years when I was working as a driver. The liberals want everyone living in a shoe box so they can steal all the homes and sell them to the Chinese and blackrock or let the migrationists live in them for free. Too many people are living in their own little digital or virtual worlds and when reality comes crashing down they are lost. Buck up and fight back. You don't have to let the shitheads of the world win.
they aren't "liberals". They are globo homo communists who want to destroy legacy and traditional America and replace them with third world illegal aliens, who are more compliant and have no knowledge of or interest in American history, traditions, culture, religion and language.
Face it we are quickly becoming if not already are a Third World Country - it was all deliberate - the unbated crime and illegal immigration solidified it. NYC, San Francisco, Nashville, Denver and the list goes on and on and on - has all been intentionally and systematically destroyed. There was no reason whatsoever not to b e able to staunch and abate the crime - look how quickly they handled the innocent and peaceful college protesters - the magnitude of manpower and money spent to eliminate them. You would have to be deaf dumb and blind not to notice how glaringly obvious this all is.
The United States lost 675,000 people to the Spanish flu in 1918-more casualties than World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War combined. Pharmaceutical companies worked around the clock to come up with a vaccine to fight the Spanish flu, but they were too late, most had died and the flu had run its course before they came up with a vaccine.
The Flu virus causes fluid accumulation in the lungs that can turn into pneumonia, and that is what kills patients. This is where the idea there are no such thing as viruses since a virus never killed anyone. Today's typical intensive care unit (ICU) ventilator did not begin to be developed until the 1940s. There were many trial of multiple vaccines during the pandemic of 1918 and all of them had mixed, inconsistant or unreliable results and had no real impact of the progression of the virus.
There’s something positive to be said for living in a van. Being able to get out of some town that is being run into the ground is something to thing about. Not great, but if riots break out, or something disaster happens because morons run your city, then you aren’t sitting there watching your home get looted or burn to the ground. Again, not the ideal situation, but not completely without positives.
Have you looked at any of the routes out of the city? There is now no way to cross the grassy median to do a U turn... drivers are forced to drive in the direction they want you to go because there are metal barriers. You'll start to notice everywhere after you first see it.
I was taken out of my family home pretty young but I do remember my father saying if he hadn't become a parent he would've wanted to get a van (back in the 70s) and be a happy vagabond. Of course that mindset was popular back then too, but he wanted to travel the continent and do odd jobs in exchange for a day's pay, and that became impossible once he got married and had a baby.
If I hadn't fallen into my current line of income I might've opted for van life too. You're right, you can pick up and leave the second you want a change of scenery.
When I was in 8th grade (I am 67 now) we had Career Day and they talked about becoming a stewardess as a career. I thought that would be such a fun glamorous job! LOL...Never happened and I don't want to fly these days. Oh and I loved Chris Farley on SNL (back when it was funny) : "You wanna live in a van????.....DOWN BY THE RIVERRRRR?????" As he hiked up his pants....
I was a flight attendant for Delta Airlines about 25 years ago. I quit right after 9-11 to stay home with our infant son. Back then, it was a nice job but definitely not particularly glamorous as you spend quite a bit of time collecting people’s used snot rags while cruising the aisles with a trash bag. I cannot believe how far Delta has sunk. They were considered the top US business carrier decades ago and now they want to eliminate “sir and m’am” from the PA announcements?? I considered going back right before the plandemic and am soooo glad I came to my senses and didn’t follow through!
“If you can believe it, our government is even spending up to a quarter million tax payer dollars to teach Iraqi kids how to be climate activists…”
I can’t believe it. WHY? Because they don’t spend tax payer dollars at the federal level for ANYTHING. They are just there to make you THINK they need them and to impart value to a valueless monetary system.
For you see…
"The Federal Government, with the cooperation of the Federal Reserve, has the inherent power to create money--almost any amount of it."
~ The National Debt, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, p. 8
ALMOST? Why only ALMOST? What keeps them from creating ALL they want? You? Me? Your dog? A full moon?
Federal Reserve Notes are not federal, represent no monetary reserves and no longer conform to the definition of notes. Failing to state who, will pay what, when or to whom - they ceased to be legal tender notes, (offers of money) almost 60 years ago. They are in fact instruments of legalized THEFT.
"...Keynes argues that inflation is a 'method of taxation' which the government uses to 'secure the command over real resources, resources just as real as those obtained by [ordinary] taxation'. 'What is raised by printing notes, ' he writes, is just as much taken from the public as is a beer duty or an income tax.' "
- 1980 Annual Report, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, pg 10
"All the paper money issued today is Federal Reserve notes. The real backing for the nation's money is faith in the strength, soundness and stability of the American economy."
~ The Hats the Federal Reserve Wears, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, pg 4
Faith is what backs our monetary system. YOUR faith. Do you still have faith?
"When plunder has become a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it."
~ Frederic Bastiat in "The Law"
"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation,
governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens."

Bank of Richmond, pg 6
Isn't confiscation of the wealth of the citizens a nice way of saying STEALING?
"Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience." ~ John Locke (1690)
If the money you earn has no value and you are forced through fiat paper legislation to take it for your labor, are you not having your property (labor) destroyed and are you not being reduced to nothing but slavery? Is not the state at war with the people?
5th Plank Communist Manifesto: Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed such a “national bank” and it politically manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely fulfills this plank, another major socialist objective. Yet, most Americans naively believe the U.S. of A. is far from a Marxist or socialist nation.
"The writers of the constitution knew exactly what they were doing when they wrote in Article I Section 10 paragraph 1 'No state shall... make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts. ' People able to barter with gold and silver coin control government and are free. Loss of the right to trade in gold and silver coin enslaves people to the creators of psychological 'money.'":

I didn't have to look far, I watched the DNC :-)
LOL. Well I only read the transcripts, but many speakers there focused on all that was wrong and how to improve the country.
I totally must've skimmed over anyone saying everything was going great.
Still believe in the "corona virus pandemic". That's precious.
People with almost no measurable IQ sure do love to tell me that.
We'll see. Your response was exactly as predicted, a direct insult.
Well, it was an 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵 insult, and only directed at those with exceptionally low IQs.
If you feel as though 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘷𝘦 been insulted, have someone explain to you why that is.

It's been time for a revolution since 1913 with the passage of the 5th plank of the communist manifesto and 1916 with the removal of the first 13 words of the 2nd amendment from use. https://www.courageouslion.us/p/there-is-a-reason-they-dont-listen

The only people that died in the flue epidemic of 1918 were all vaccinated 🤢🤮💉🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦🪦
The United States lost 675,000 people to the Spanish flu in 1918-more casualties than World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War combined. Pharmaceutical companies worked around the clock to come up with a vaccine to fight the Spanish flu, but they were too late, most had died and the flu had run its course before they came up with a vaccine.
the vaccine didn't work and most people died from bacterial pneumonia contracted from breathing while wearing the muzzles aka masks.
The Flu virus causes fluid accumulation in the lungs that can turn into pneumonia, and that is what kills patients. This is where the idea there are no such thing as viruses since a virus never killed anyone. Today's typical intensive care unit (ICU) ventilator did not begin to be developed until the 1940s. There were many trial of multiple vaccines during the pandemic of 1918 and all of them had mixed, inconsistant or unreliable results and had no real impact of the progression of the virus.
Ummm, no. The majority who died did so before any vaccines were created.

I won't be sitting there watching my home being burned or looted. I'll be popping caps. My 150 round drum may go into use.
