Thank you both for this conversation. I was watching on TCM a documentary about the murder of Harvey Milk ! They had crisis in the city until Mayor Diane Feinstein took over. I remember, in 2016 Trump said sure Carlin Jenner can use my bathroom anytime, none of this current situation makes any sense whatsoever!
When it comes to who is to blame for the affordability issue in the US, Americans want answers Is it the Nazi Republicans led by the incompetent Cheeto regime who buries their head in the sand when there’s a problem hoping that it will go away Remember COVID? Every day it was it will “be gone by summer” or “we’ll let the states handle it” This complete lack of leadership is now obvious and head in the sand Cheeto is just hoping it will go away since he has no answers…his forte is vengeance not problem solving
A Cheeto policy that has worsened the affordability crisis is the imposed taxation in the form of tariffs This taxation is being passed onto consumers from companies that can ill afford a cut into their margins Executive orders have also hampered Federal legislatively appropriated state funding to target blue states that pay in more than they get back in taxpayer dollars passing this cost to states and ultimately to state residents
As an article in TNR(The New Republic) the public would like to blame corporate greed(https://bit.ly/46QRjjN) believing that large companies are simply price gouging the American public Of course Cheeto is complicit since he and his Nazi aligned party favor $$ for themselves over helping the country’s citizens overcome an affordability issue
But the loss of the purchasing power of the dollar is another more menacing and unreported problem that is clearly part of the issue of affordability In terms of gold which is a Constitutionally mandated metallic standard(Article 1 Section 8 and 10) the dollar is worth 6 pennies as to what it was in 1971 when Nixon took the country off a metallic standard How past administrations have let this loss of purchasing power become a now economic disaster is due to misdirected macroeconomists
So in the end the affordability crisis is multifactorial: incompetent leadership, greed which led to poor economic direction by many administrations over 50y with eventual economic collapse The ides of March is approaching and ghosts of the 1930’s are appearing
Susan you are right about the Gen Z accepting LGBTQ better than other generations. But being a baby boomer, what happened was when I met gay people when I was in college, I realized that they weren't all that different from anyone else. Some of my best friends were gay and a lot of fun to be around. Then I've met more in my lifetime and I understand that there are people that are afraid of LGBTQ people and I scratch my head. But seeing how this administration is it truly makes sense that they don't like a lot of things. Why? I haven't a clue. I've met lots of people in my lifetime and I guess I have my mother to thank for not living in fear and embracing all people. Totally agree that there should be equality for everyone in our country.

Affordability: Everyone Needs A Scapegoat

This year will be the worst example of freedom from government tyranny in Americas history that began 250 years ago.
