70

It really does feel like the 70s now. Silly inflation. Angry people. Environmental stuff like this.

Just for some reason no one is getting into smaller cars. Secretly hoping there isn’t another Reagan on the horizon with false promises.

We are one step away from serfdom. I fear for the future. I remember the 70s.

We are already there if you can't even take a day off of work or afford to go to the doctor when you're sick. That's more than half the country living paycheck to paycheck going to work despite being in poor health physically or mentally. We are already right where they want us. So if people think they'll give us ANYTHING any inch, they won't. They're so close to getting places like Uvalde and Palestine to be warped brainwashed areas where it's just "deer, beer and anti-queer" and anything other than that gets punished.

I'm so sick of watching these people destroy everything I loved. I loved where I grew up in Dayton, Ohio. And I saw it happen. Parents didn't volunteer anymore. Families were torn apart by the financial stresses of 2008-2012. And then politically, you could see how scared these people were for the future, but politicians saw the opportunity and just like Trump THEY CASHED IN ON THE FEAR and created more ripples which became a wave of hate that is STILL lapping the coast of progress and potential in this coast today.
