    Has he actually explained a plan to even "cut our taxes" because if I recall every tax proposal that's come up raises the taxes on people living paycheck to paycheck.

    Even people who were once poor and struck it rich usually quickly lose touch with what it feels like to be poor

    I'm not sure about that one. If you've been poor you're semi-terrified of ever being poor again. It can make you do strange things which sometimes causes you to end up poor again.

    Welp, time for him to suffer similarly. As a public employee, his salary should be $7.25/hr, and have $10 in his checking account.

    Republicans and Trump Admin Will Garnish Struggling Borrowers' Wages as Student Loan Payments Resume

    The Trump administration on Monday announced that it will resume involuntary collection measures against defaulted federal student loan recipients, including garnishing wages, tax refunds, and Social Security benefits and "other actions to help borrowers get back into repayment," as the U.S. Department of Education euphemistically said.

    "Resuming collections protects taxpayers from shouldering the cost of federal student loans that borrowers willingly undertook to finance their postsecondary education," DOE said in a statement notifying the public that collections will resume May 5. "This initiative will be paired with a comprehensive communications and outreach campaign to ensure borrowers understand how to return to repayment or get out of default."

    three missed meals

    I thought it was 9, but I guess with intermittent fasting, it could be the same time frame

    The first president of Estonia after regaining our independence, was once quoted saying "The situation is shit, but it's the fertilizer of our future."

    The meaning is very similar, in that he was saying that the hard times need to be suffered for things to get better, but what's different between him and the current American administration? Well, for one, the situation wasn't shit because of his personal ego trade war, it was shit because the economy was shit in every ex-soviet nation for a time. It took time to accustom to independence and free markets. But most of all, he spoke from a place of respect, not one of disrespect. Him saying that was his honesty to the Estonian people. He didn't lie and say everything would get good quickly. This was also a man you could simply approach publicly and he'd answer your questions. Didn't need to be a press release and you didn't need to be a journalist or a celebrity.

    What I'm saying is that dear Americans, your current president and vice president simply don't respect you.

    So what is the actual strategy at this point? They are being way too bold about this. Like I'm worried they have an escape pod that they're planning to hop on/fly away while they flip us all off and leave us stranded on a smoldering earth.

    [if] we pursue those energy cost reducing policies...

    I see only energy cost increasing policies, the recent forced shutdown of that 800 MW offshore wind farm, no more land leasing for renewables, policies to increase water pressure (=more energy required for pumps and for treating the water), and so on
