I can relate to that so much. The US sounds like its about eight to ten years behind the UK. Its not a good transition you are going to be going through. The government get more and more control, and they squeeze harder and harder, and the skilled working class/lower middle class just gets destroyed. Pay rises stop. Bonuses stop. Your savings are ground away. Big firms undercut your small business. Even if you occupy a niche you go under because no one can afford your products.

It just goes to prove time and circumstance happen to us all. When you add the poison of "progressive" socialism the odds are stacked against "success". Its possible, but its getting harder and harder.

See my post #30.

Apparently people aren’t even allowed to name the cause of their ‘failure’, now.

Sure wish I could find a news source for what happened but so far, only the locals are speaking of it in hushed tones.

Things just got very bad, very fast, if what they’re saying is true.

There is zero tolerance for criticizing 0.
