@MatrixMysteries Who still goes to places like that? If you are spending your hard earn money on this, that says more about you than it does the thing you bought.

An American woman went to Cold Stone Creamery. This tiny ice cream cost her $9. Inflation is becoming humiliation. How much more expensive can life in America get?

@loonlake55 People dont want truth like that. I too am a fiscal, constitutional conservative, which means both the elephants and the jackasses hate me! LOL! I believe in doing it the right way, with accountability and spending money wisely.

I am not a Republican. That's a party. I am a conservative. I believe people can shape their own destiny, government can't solve all our problems, faith in God is good, family is everything. Seems like an easy sell but Dems pretty much oppose all those beliefs.

@Jt_town_clown @loonlake55 For normal people, all of this was true, at least for me it was. Our yearly vacation was a camping trip in a tent and we drove there (no AC either). We sat in the way way back (no seatbelts required) harassing drivers behind us. Dad always left the back window open.

@loonlake55 None of this is true. You must have some pretty severe childhood trauma to make up this bullshit take.

Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!

@NoncompliantJM @loonlake55 Even in 1980 when I graduated, college was too expensive for me. Parents were not wealthy and did not save up for our education, there were no special funds available for parents to do that. Parents would not sign the student loan paperwork. So I worked to pay for local college.

@loonlake55 Houses went up $100,000 in the last five years. Every young person is told to go to college and incur $50,000-$100,000 in debt before they even start adulthood. While everything you said is true, you have no idea what this generation is facing.

@loonlake55 This is spot on.

@lady_valor_07 You did not eat.

Be honest because I’m proving a point When you were a child if you didn’t want to eat what your mother made for dinner What happened?

@Nithya_Shrii That all depends on the person though. I have a co-worker retiring at 50, but her and her husband worked their arses off every year. Paid off their home, funded a retirement account to overflowing, sacrificed all those wants of the current generation and looked forward.

Retirement at 55 has never made sense to me. People should be able to retire around 40-45 and still have enough life left to enjoy it.

@WorldVideo49043 No He left a narrow path to follow that leads to eternal life with Him. The church is supposed to be those who believe in Him, in the sacrifice He made for our sins and be His Hands and Feet in this fallen world. No where did He say He was leaving us the "Catholic Church".

Jesus didn’t leave us the Bible. He left the Catholic Church.

@DnaroseIvy @WifeFinance @TGrammie2 those property taxes pay for so much more in your community. Roads, emergency services, and we have a community hospital that is funded by property taxes. Would you rather not have those things? Go wild wild west?

@WifeFinance @TGrammie2 Why should people with no kids have to pay the school portion of taxes their whole life? I find this unfair.

My house will be paid off in a few years, but I just calculated when my property tax and home insurance and I will still be paying nearly $500 a month for something I’ve already paid for

@ronsterd89 That is a slippery slope. People take advantage of things like this, its why we cannot have nice things.

VOTE: Should a child born on US soil automatically be a US citizen?

@rhombus10 @InezFeltscher The Student Loan program started out as something positive, but unfortunately it did not take long for the loan sharks to come into play and the govt allowing them to succeed.

@InezFeltscher Boomer: Blame the federal student loan program for out of control tuition.

Boomer Republicans: “just work your way through college like I did” Cost: $400,000k in four years. Sir, if you can pull that off at 18, you don’t need the degree.

@InezFeltscher Well in 1980, my parents could not afford to send me off to college and would not sign the student loan paperwork because they saw the scam embedded with in. I had no option but to go to work and hopefully save up enough to go to community college. Worked 2 jobs too.

@ronsterd89 I had to. As soon as I started working (16) I was paying for my own insurance to my parents and bought my own gas. Once I was out of school, if I chose to not continue my education, I was expected to contribute to the household.

Should Adult Children have to pay rent if they live at home wit their parents

@NewswirePatriot They dont have to eat there. Plenty of other burger places around that wont hurt your feelings.

Atheists are DEMANDING In-n-Out Burger, remove the Bible verses from their packaging. Owner, Lynsi Snyder, refuses and says the verses reflect her family's Christian values. Critics call the verses "exclusionary." Is Snyder being "exclusionary" or do you support her? ✝️

@dragodimitrov Because it does not exist. Believers are the church, period. No denomination, no religiosity. Just believers in Jesus and doing as He commanded us to do.

Why can't we find the concept of Christian denominations anywhere in the Bible or in Church history?

@pimomormon @Caleb2854126899 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die. I dont see a specific day mentioned there, but I do know they started dying immediately after eating it and we all start dying the day we are born.

@Caleb2854126899 Yes he did. Genesis 2:17

God said Adam and Eve would “surely die” the same day they ate the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve almost lived (according to the Bible) for a thousand years. And we’re told that god tells the truth?

@ShemekaMichelle Hate is a strong word. Wariness? Maybe. Any organized religion based on tons of religiosity should be examined by the scriptures. That goes for any religious organization. If it is not scripture based, Jesus led, walk away as soon as possible. Dont follow the wide path.

Why is there such hate for the Catholic religion?

@GigaBasedDad Its not for me to judge. Your relationship with Jesus is not based on organized religion or religiosity. Believers are the church. It has nothing to do with all the made up stuff man adds. Be a Philippians 3 person.

Genuine Curiosity Question here (lets try to be civil) Catholics, do you think Protestants are real Christians? Protestants, do you think Catholics are real Christian? Why do you believe what you believe?

@Maga4liberty I would say because we dont have kings in America? What is there to protest? Let the clown show continue while the rest of us go to work and be normal.

How would you respond to her question?

@ewarren You live in an absolute dream world. You should check with some of your ultra wealthy compadres who know how to hide money better than anyone else.

The Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act would generate over $6 trillion over the next decade—without raising taxes on 99.85% of American households. This wealth tax for millionaires and billionaires could pay for universal child care, free community college, Medicare expansion, and more.
