It's been a year since that yeet.
My after tax savings are way up, my pre-tax 401k deduction has been increased, I've canceled MAGA-supporting services.
I've not been as diligent in slashing spending to the bone, but I'm continuing to prepare for what's already upon us.
Be safe out there!

If you aren't paying down debt and slashing non-discretionary spending, you won't survive the upcoming depression.
Yet they’ll wonder why the economy collapsed into the Great Trump Recession.

No, it's an utterly horrible example of a Universal BASIC INCOME.
It is, about $1,000 per person.
Do you know how long an average American can live on $1,000?
PER YEAR.
That is what they get a YEAR. It amounts to a $0.50 or so raise per hour.
And it makes everyone else pay more for gasoline.

If anyone believes for one second that Hunter would not be EXTRA punished when the new administration takes over, you're absolutely deaf to everything the GOP and Project 2025 had said. Joe did the right thing.

The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

I expect a lot of older illnesses to become prevalent enough I’m going to ask my doctor to recommend what boosters I should consider, given many of the shots I had were 50+ years ago.
I’m too older for boosters. Dear god, why didn’t people stop that man from becoming #NotMyPresident .

The current Surgeon General under President Biden has a BA from Harvard and an MD from Yale.
The orange convicted felon picked a Fox Propagandist who has a medical degree from the Caribbean School of Medicine to be Surgeon General.
Please get your vaccines before it’s too late.
