    There’s a thing called lifestyle creep. You may not necessarily be living paycheck to paycheck on the bare minimum. Going out with friends, having the latest phone, having hobbies, if you cut out all fun you may be able to save up significantly. You can also live like a bum in the least accommodating space you can stand. Being comfortable is expensive, but not everybody wants to be uncomfortable for long stretches just to fuck off to the Bahamas for a month every few years. That or credit card debt.
















  • And yet an American is an American. We’re not all that different, but then you go into some enclave of immigrants who came here only to earn more money or possibly escape crimes they’ve committed. They want nothing to do with contributing to the US. They take for sure, but they are at their core, in their heart, not American. They’re Guatemalan, or Venezuelan, or Mexican. That is the core issue. I was just remembering about how Kamala Harris. The Vice President told people not to come. This is NOT a minority opinion. This isn’t just me.
