Be real. Living the American Dream was drummed up by slick advertising networks. Only the DUMB followed their advice and bought new cars,bigger houses,more idiotic foreign vacations,prestige colleges that cost $40,000 per year for junior and freakin show tickets for HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS..* we are are own worst enemy. No one holds a gun to your head forcing you to pay $300.00 for the latest sneaker.*

Let’s shoulder some of the responsibility and not blame this country!!!!

We are the country. If not for us, it would be only dirt, which did not vote for wicked politicians and allow pornography to consume minds and teach their women to become whores and their men to become feminine. It was us. We destroyed ourselves in the name of freedom as if whoredoms, drugs, alcohol, and pornography are freedom. Quite the contrary. It’s captivity for those who imbibe and hell for those who don’t.

Everything is wonderful! "The economy has never been been better!" - Says our glorious Orange potentate and the AI bot.

Time is definitely running out for our culture. If the world lasts for while longer without self destruction, things will definitely be different for those who come after us!

Most of my clients have been selling their 2nd homes and vacation homes. Though most of them are not Christian...I watch the wealthy (not the rich) and ask them questions on what their future plans are. Because of their connections...they know.

Could it be because they think there may be mass deaths, destruction, and economic troubles ahead?

With less people in the future, there will be less need for housing ?

I went to work when I was 18 for $2.25 an hour. Worked all the overtime I could just to get by. Finally got a job welding which I knew nothing about in 110 degrees heat. Management hated hiring me but had to give me a chance. Only woman among about 500 men which didn’t like me there. I needed the money. Not a boyfriend cause I had a husband that worked all he could. Fort Worth, Texas in the 70s wasn’t a big pay town but we made it. I’ve only had one brand new car in my life and still have my 26 year old pickup. I have one house 2000 square feet and it’s plenty. No big retirement. Not much money or 3 houses. I never had time to sit and play games on the Tv all the time. I always shopped at Goodwill stores and buy reduced food when it’s what I want and cook at home even when I worked all the time. So I’m , I a rich Boomer? HELL NO!

On top of that, parents spend $$$$$, blood, sweat, and tears, only to find their college graduate children cannot compete with AI driven computers and machines in the future.

That’s great and you got a great job. Wish I had that one. I welded on railcars.
