    Ah ... so you want to see an increase in consumerism?

    in order to keep this house of cards a float, that is a must

    the alternative is we become a third world nation

    I also want to reduce excessive foreign outsourcing and excessive foreign imports

    This isn't the 1950s anymore. What a simply ridiculous thing to say.

    I am soooo over this crap. All that law does is codify something that, up until a few months ago, was simply common sense. It shouldn't even have to be said that it's inappropriate material for 5-year-old children, which was (and frankly, still is, except amongst the wokesters and the divisive media) a standard value. Do you think I should go into a classroom and start teaching 5-year-olds about how wonderful it is to be a swinger? No difference.

    Jeebus, get over yourself. There is no such thing as an LGBT 5-year-old. Humans of that age (and similar) are not sexual creatures, they are not just pre-pubescent, but way pre-pubescent, they don't think about sex, they don't even know it exists (or if they do, they find the idea repulsive), hell, they haven't even discovered the joys of masturbation yet, and won't until they've more than doubled their current age. The only thing they think of the opposite gender is that they're gross and have cooties.

    Not to mention that for kids that age, they simply wouldn't get it. It's almost like trying to teach algebra to a child who hasn't yet learned how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

    And as I previously said, the knowledge I just imparted on you was, until only very, very recently, common bloody sense that everyone with more than two brain cells to rub together didn't even have to be told.

    You won't find a bigger proponent of LGBT rights anywhere than you will with me, and I was promoting SSM long before it became cool to do so, even before Obama et al started acting like they had always been in favor of it. I am a sexually adventurous person who is in a consensually non-monogamous marriage, and who endorses such relationships for many, but not all adults, but I'll tell you straight up that, too, is not an appropriate topic for 5-year-olds.

    These ideas are actually not all that controversial, I've seen polls where as much as 80% of the general population would basically agree with every word I just said, but the political-class (on the "woke" lefty side of the aisle) and the MSM have conspired to make it yet another wedge issue, when we already have far more of those than we need.

    Its what the RW media would want you to believe. They will also NEVER mention the fact that unemployment is 3.6%. Its election year after all.

    Sure sounds like you are just talking about the housing market. Sure, homeowners are pretty happy at this time. I know I am.

    For someone who hates Trump as much as you do, it's hard not to notice that you are picking up on one of his biggest issues.

    what is that?

    if you're talking about ending foreign outsourcing and imports, I did support him for that, course he did not solve anything either

    Life decisions put you where you are at. I feel bad for your boat, I truly do. Being poor and wondering where your next home will be can’t be fun. But there are jobs everywhere. Why can’t you find one?

    We won’t outlaw being LGBTQFLSMNOP etc etc.. we just don’t care to be forced to bake cakes. We don’t even care if you get married we just don’t want to be forced to wed you. I’m sure someone will but it doesn’t have to be me. We also don’t care to be forced to call you a man when you’re really a woman or a woman when you’re really a man. Outside of that do whatever you want

    When all these people who have bought during the ginned up market go into foreclosure, your children will be able to get deals on houses again. Rinse and repeat.

    The practical solution is to move somewhere cheaper.

    Here’s the problem… it’s called inflation. Americans buying power is worse and worse everyday. The housing market with outlandish prices locked peoples money into their home rather than purchases. It’s all theory until this completely unfolds and economists can look at it closer. But I would argue housing costs will be a large culprit to spending decreases, next will be energy costs dwindling the purchasing power of Americans. Those burdens combined will slow the economy.

    No no. Just wait. Biden's got a food shortage looming. Wait till all the money goes to necessities. How woke will we all become then, ya?

    That is proven to decrease buying power in every instance I have researched. We have living examples of that now. I’m positive that the states with the higher minimum wage have less buying power than the states with lower.

    Energy, housing has everything to do with that as well. When those costs go up it’s more of an incentive for farmers to sell land for housing. I do think a food shortage is likely. Starvation?, no but eating what you may not like may happen.

    You guys won’t also care if I become a teacher and teach kids right? Or if I ask “hey maybe please don’t kill us because we’re trans”? Listen to yourself, you’re literally making the “good minority is a quiet minority” argument. Are you really saying minorities have to be quiet to get political rights?

    Which is the process called gentrification. How do you think gentrification looks?
