Collected Thoughts

That's why I wanted him to be a serious contender. There are so many issues effecting everyone and I could see it coming. I mean, I'm not a great predictor of anything really but I knew the housing market was going to crash and of course gas keeps going up.

I feel so bad for the people who are caught, those that live in areas without good options for public transportation, who are dealing with rising fuel costs, which means it's more expensive to heat and cool houses and to put food on the table. The current administration is just..beyond inept. It's insane.

Of course consumerism drives our society, I spend more than I should and could cut back on things but I'm very lucky and I know it. I know that plenty of people are stuck in "full time" jobs where they are only scheduled 38 hours a week because benefits kick in if they are scheduled 40 hours. I know that there are people who are working and don't have any kind of decent insurance.

..okay rant over.
