A couple of errors I need to point out here.

There’s no such thing as an “undocumented immigrant“, there are only illegal aliens who must be expelled. We must never confuse the phrases. Regardless of the connotation.

The “American dream” has absolutely nothing to do with owning a house. That would be the Realtor’s dream. The real “American dream” is government restrained by and constrained by the unalienable rights of its legitimate citizens.

Period.

“Criminal Alien” is actually the legal term.

Do you own your house?

Of course. Along with a lot of other properties.

That’s not the point. Because the “American dream” is not owning a house or property, it is about a government restrained by and constrained by the unalienable rights of the citizens..

Period.

> Because the “American dream” is not owning a house or property

Easy for you to say when you own so many. Imagine being homeless and having that attitude. Classic boomer mentality.

😂 You totally missed the point! The real American dream is government restrained by the rights of its citizens. Everything else evolves from that.

None of you “own” property. Even if you avoid or satisfy a mortgage [ death-gauge ], if you quit paying taxes etc. on it, the goober-mint will repossess and rent it out to someone willing to pay the extortion.

The love of money [ usury ] is the root of all evil.

You are correct of course, Larry, because of property taxes we do not ever truly “own” our property. This is why it cannot be “the American Dream”. Property ownership is one direct consequence of a legitimate government That is limited by the unalienable rights of its citizens. Unfortunately, there still remains a dream in the US, as we have let the federal government become a monster

There are basically two americas.

Those that owned a house before 2020/2022, and those that don’t.

The former live in a world where things are affordable.

The latter will never own a house.

Housing increased in price 43% since 2020 and interest rates went from 3% to 7%.

The Panda Express Rufo talks about is in an area where the median price of a single family home is $800k. The Panda Express manager will never own a home.

Perhaps they need to home grow the white supremacy threat Joe Biden said was the greatest danger facing America. What better way than to lock young white men out of gainful employment in favor of cheap foreign labor

I, for one, do not wish that I was young in these times. Life used to be simple growing up. We didn't even have to lock our doors. I am 80 years old and have seen so many changes over the years and many not for the better.

Simple,but important are honesty and morals. People in government obviously lying under oath is a terrible example to our youth.

I do wish them well but do not hold out much hope.

I want young people to set one goal. Get .1 [ point one ] bitcoin. One-tenth - doable! You will need to study this for a hundred hours before you “get it”. Max Kaiser calls this the Singularity. Do not wait for the Redundant Singularity [ 1=1] .

I’ll simply suggest leadership that provides solutions does not allow for “slack”.

This is part of our cohort’s (Millennials) problem.

Harden the fuck up in all ways. That’s what Zoomers need to SEE.
