People are going to be judging me more, the more vocal I may become, so I'll just provide some perspective. The 1st 2 years of my public education, we regularly hid in the basement under the old, unused desks, in case the USSR decided to bomb us. At that time I was also. 1/

the woods, pissing and shitting like a hobo, stealing archway cookies from their delivery trucks while Mom worked. Remember surplus powdered eggs anyone? Looong before gubment cheese. By 10 I was rolling with my wagon(actually a chopped off shopping cart), gathering papers, 2/

bottles for the recyclers, 12 was 'paperboy' time, Office gopher, hay baler, hospital kitchen, followed before Robot Ronny arrived as my graduation present. I've been a saute chef, a wall washer, retail hell, photo driver, and data processing/IT flunky. I consider myself quite 3/

lucky, I wish I could claim the same for many folks I don't know. What I do know is that financially, everyone I know is stuck in the 70s regardless of which party is in power. Said from my 60'x150' plot of America..

Just going to end this thread here, the link is really more for my daughter, but may explain some things to others I've known, and those that like to rubberneck at car crashes. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QsEsIBBY8JWxL2vdjPCUa5OW8mhSfnna/view?usp=drivesdk
