  • It’s impossible. I’d have to leave the place I call home to afford a house (which I’ll probably end up doing someday). At this point it’s no family and kids for me, no pets, I got a pension and play the stock market when I can, work per diem, otherwise just try to rent cheap, share a car, live minimally, and save money for seeing the world with my partner. There are acquaintances who tell me they’re jealous of my lifestyle, which I can’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable with comments like that. If they took a closer look, they would see that there are plenty of comforts that I sacrifice.



  • It’s true, not just for the U.S. either. And the biggest topics are always economy and immigration. At the end of the day, people will vote for what’s perceived as safety and security, a return to “the old times when things were better.” They will sacrifice freedoms for it. That trade is of course, a lie. And that’s how fascists get voted in, by preying on that fear.
