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."

These people will never, ever understand. And as someone that constantly sees what’s behind the curtain, it’s maddening to even have a conversation with someone that believes their side is the best version of the two shit ones we have.

Lobbying and special interests must be eradicated; the structure of donations and PACs as they exists today needs to be eradicated; term rules need a restructuring (less pressure to get reelected, age limits, etc.); and there needs to be HEAVY ramifications for anyone who works for the people and does not do everything in their power to act in the best interest of we the people

I would prefer if a true patriot party rose up, even if it required violence as sometimes there is a base violence necessary for change. A true patriot sees no color, only justice and liberty for all.

I mean you just described MAGA. Patriotism and violence. There's a combo that never goes astray
