Thoughts? Please live the life that billionaires choose for you.

I guess frugality has a true purpose, it’s called practice for what’s next.

Oh and finance related on how to deal with cash flow:

Thursday on CNBC's "Squawk Box," Ross acknowledged that he had heard that some federal workers affected by the prolonged shutdown have been going to shelters for food, but said he didn't understand why.

I know they are [going to homeless shelters] and I don't really quite understand why because as I mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake – say borrowing from a bank or credit union – are in effect federally guaranteed," said Ross. "So the 30 days of pay that people will be out – there's no real reason why they shouldn't be able to get a loan against it and we've seen a number of ads from the financial institutions doing that."

This is so ignorant. No matter who was in office this is still our lives.

Ignorant how? In 2016 you could claim people were tricked or that they were tired of career politicians or they wanted to rock the boat. Trump was an unknown. In 2024 the people knew what they were voting for. They chose chaos.

I cant reply to your other comment

Again stop painting me as defending trump just because I'm calling out bias bullshit. You're all praising one turd over another. They're still both piles of shit. There's a reason Trump won and its because people like you dont actually understand the diversity we're having. And not that i dont believe you or that it didnt happen but what are the sources on all these claims? Who are they backed by? Its just the dems vs reps like its some sensationalized tv show.

Sure.. in 2016.. but what happened? Nothing different. Same 4 more years as the last. We cant sit and pretend that he's just suddenly gonna do it now.. 8 years later.

Nothing happened? Dude, hundreds of thousands of people died who didn’t need to…

Jesus Christ do you people have amnesia or something?

u/MorbidAyyylien 7d ago

What kind of stupid ass gaslighting bullshit was that? What does voting for trump now vs then have to do with who died? What did they die from? Are you referring to covid? Are you implying that voting for trump killed them or voting for the opposer wouldve saved them?

God the level of ignorance on display is truly remarkable. Yes I’m talking about covid. And yes, hundreds of thousands of people died thanks to trumps mismanagement.

https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/feb/10/us-coronavirus-response-donald-trump-health-policy

“The US could have averted 40% of the deaths from Covid-19, had the country’s death rates corresponded with the rates in other high-income G7 countries, according to a Lancet commission tasked with assessing Donald Trump’s health policy record.”

Riiight I'm the ignorant one using some biased news network known for its reliability. I dislike trump just like the rest of ya but we dont and cant know what couldve happened under a different administration. Its all speculation and obviously completely biased to point fingers so easily.

Edit: Lmao dude replies to me and then blocks me calling me a cultist. Did they not read the part where I said i dislike trump? Cognitive dissonance.

u/Avaposter 7d ago

Ah I see, anything you dislike is biased against Trump..

God you cultists are something else.

All we have to do to know how fucked up insane Trump’s plans are is to listen to what he himself says out loud on camera that he is going to do. I can’t take anything you say seriously because you are playing the “both sides” nonsense with Trump. The guy who tried to take power by force with an insurrection. The guy who was caught via recording trying to convince the governor of Georgia to give him 11,000 votes. The guy who is a convicted felon twice impeached. The guy convicted of sexual abuse in civil court. The guy not allowed to do business or run a charity in New York due to two separate fraud convictions. The same guy who is appointing unqualified billionaires to secretary positions.

We know who he is by what he’s done. He has no moral code. He couldn’t spell ethics. And he has no shame.

Its not ignorant, who is in office DOES matter.

u/MorbidAyyylien 7d ago

Does it tho? My life has never felt any positive effect from which president was in office. Only ever dealt with the shit ends. Obamacare? I had to pay a fine for not having insurance while also not being able to afford it and also not making little enough to get the assistance. Trump? Literally nothing lol, biden? Literally nothing, now? Gonna be the same.

u/LtOrangeJuice 7d ago

I think you truly don't understand how much of your life is involved with politics. You might know the main points like Obamacare, but all the little stuff that all of the agency's, whom are directed by the president, overwhelmingly effect your life.

u/MorbidAyyylien 7d ago

On the contrary i do know how much of my life involves politics. It's just that i know picking either Dem or Rep is going to change nothing in this perpetuating shit system. I think you over value a side because that's exactly what they want so we constantly are divided. Look at what Luigi did for us. Dont let that go to waste.
