So? What’s the problem with that being the goal?

There are options for letting even single parents raise their own children that do not require that parent to work.

There is always hope.

Money is far more important than principles. -Modern Christianity

Why does everyone want dual-parent working households?

Why not let parents raise their own kids?

Better? Define better…

There was still plenty of poverty in the 90s, and the violence situation was actually worse than it is currently.

Are you saying that Monkeys aren’t monkeys? Or that we aren’t greedy? Or that Monkeys aren’t greedy?

It’s absolutely accurate, go walk through a mall, see how many people buying shit they don’t need just to show off to their friends.

These companies are going to “announce” that they’re reshoring to the US, then drag every single heel they have until Trump leaves office.

There’s no way they actually bring the factories back, just to get screwed over completely when the tariffs are lifted by the next president.

I mean, good for having some staples, but that’s not really planning for a recession. That’s more planning for an extended natural disaster or full on collapse of society.

You’re far better off spending your money on things that will improve your likelihood of staying employed (or getting new employment) through the recession, the price of those staples will be affordable as long as you have any income.

Getting a secondary job in a less-likely to be impacted industry and getting trained up now, or taking specific courses at a local college focused on a secondary skillset will be the most useful.

No. Get help.

The hilarious part of this is that Orson Scott Card is extremely Homo phobic to the point of wanting it to be a crime and jailing people.

He’s one of the hateful groups that would need to be culled under your proposed action.

May is doing a lot of heavy lifting, it’s more about how many at this point.

Not really, the formula they used to generate the percentages for each country means its not really intentional, the 10% is just countries the US import almost nothing from.

Publicity, awareness, and political capital which do matter in politics

It’s a good thing Trump didn’t pay attention in high school then.
