The biggest problem we're facing today is the malicious manipulation of the news and events. Instead of truth, the agenda is driving the way everything's being presented in a way specifically designed to accomplish their goals. Just the phraseology alone tells you exactly what they WANT you to think. Instead of "reporting" that there are going to be 22,000 evictions by landlords "flocking" to the courts for evictions in Charlotte alone, why not report there are 22,000 people that haven't been paying rent? I know of several landlords who've lost everything they had due to repossessions of ALL collateral including their personal domiciles, vehicles, and summary judgements. Instead, the networks put people on the news in fine clothes, wearing jewelry, expensive nail treatments, and hairdos griping about the evil landlord who themselves are now homeless. Yet, they received the same stimulus money, and the unemployment that allowed them to make more money than they did at their jobs previously. They were also offered free rent assistance, but thought they had more time to request it. On the same broadcast, they interviewed several people waiting in line for virus testing. In their newer vehicles, wearing their finery, waiting in line with their air conditioners running, complaining about the wait. Over 1,000 of them. In the middle of a workday. Folks, there's something BAD wrong with a society that must believe they have the right to live wherever they want for as long as they want without paying for it. That they can drive new cars to the food pantry lines and wait in line for free food. That they expect others to pay for everything including electricity and water yet do nothing to earn it. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to pay higher taxes, and the consumer index is rising faster than a rocket as we're blamed for everything from soup to nuts. Since a lot of us don't agree with their agendas, and we're making noise about it, they feel free to eviscerate us for pointing out that the past 240 years weren't perfect, but they were a darn sight better than the way things are going today. Any half educated person should agree with that. I'm sure we'll see. The coming wealth transference is going to be the rubber band snap nobody else sees coming. By necessity, rents WILL go up, as landlords have to offset losses. Properties will have to be refurbished. Taxes are going up. Reserves must be put in place to insulate owners of the NEXT government overreach. The new minimum wage will be an actual loss in income after increased taxes and insurance premiums. The deductibles on insurances will increase, and medical co-pays will, too. If you'll recall the old adage "There's no free lunch anymore", and you see so much being given away, you know it's coming from somewhere. Now, we have illegal immigrants and refugees to add to the mix. Our system wasn't designed to handle this, and the milquetoast MBA's only have theories, but it doesn't involve THEM working. Just look at the tax increases contained in the upcoming budget bill. Astounding. Then again, it DOES include over $3BILLION for Afghanistan. On top of the BILLIONS of equipment left over there which now makes the Tollieband the 26th largest military in the world. Yet, there are still those of you that think we're fine. Wait'll the ones doing the actual work quit. They've been ridden too hard for too long ! What then? Forced labor? Labor camps? Like China, Venezuela, and North Korea? Hmmmmmm........
