I was planning on retiring in 15 years, I just lost about 3 years worth of 401K contributions in 48hrs. Yes I will recover but that loss just added time on because it's not going to magically reappear.

Compounding insult to injury you come on here and tell me I made mistakes. I know mistakes were made, but not by me but by Trump. He doesn't give a shit about anyone else, this isn't going to help us in the long run.

For every month Trump has been in office I've had to add a year+ to my estimated retirement goal and I'm YEARS away from it

I think Sen Booker would be a great candidate. His dedication to the people is evident after his filibuster.

This is the kind of history I want to live through. He's right - this is a moral issue not a D vs R. The oligarchs are trying to destroy the USA.

I still have years to go but my losses in February and March have added about a year onto my estimated retirement at this point.

This bares repeating...There is one small problem with other states taking on counties, money. I live in the middle of the state, even our county is bolstered by the taxes Chicago pays. Those counties in Southern Illinois GET more money from the Chicago area then they pay. Other states can/will not take on counties that are poor and will drain state resources.

He's putting people in charge that will lead the military inward to control us. I fear for our country. We're a month in and at this rate, I starting to doubt the USA will have a 250th birthday.

Elon has control now so anyone due a refund - doubtful your getting one.

I've seen a lot of posts with Feb 5 at each state capitol. Show up and demonstrate peacefully for the rights our ancestors fought for.

I hope its a case of the Dems not wasting time and money fighting every little thing, they are waiting to fight all the above. Think playing checkers vs chess.

I live smack dab in the middle of the state in a red county. We have both red and blue in our county sometime next door to each other but go an hour south and you are in red territory. For downstate Illinois, Macon County also has one of the highest property taxes in Illinois. Mine is about 9k before homestead exemption on a roughly 100K 3 bedroom home. Do I want to move out of Illinois? Nah, I'm happy here. I can afford my home and it's upkeep. My neighbors are nice and my commuted is under 10 minutes (if there isn't a train on the tracks, lol).

My ex answered the door in his Halloween costume once, mad scientist with blood splatter all over him. We never had them come to the door again.

They are doing what they always do when there is a disaster, they're sending "thoughts and prayers".

Someone on Tictok made the point that Canada would get reps, and they are left leaning so it would take control of Congress.

5 years ago, I had a toy poodle that walked out the back door to snow up to her snout. She about faced, into the porch and immediately went to the box of puppy pads and pawed at them. I put her a pad down and shoveled her a spot in the yard. She waited but I always gave her the option if the snow got too deep. Miss that furball everyday.

"pledges" Sorry but until that money clears is firmly in the pockets of the charity, he's not given shit. Pay his people and treat them humanly and I bet there would be a lot less need for charity in the areas Amazon employees work.

I don't know if this counts. I have been with my hubby 20 yrs, around the 15 yr mark he turns to me says "Why don't we go ahead and get married?" 1.5 weeks later my parents met us at the courthouse and it was done.

My Silent Gen Father is a union guy so a conservative lefty, my boomer mom is a hippy lefty and me Gen X a lefty. Every day I get more fed up, it's time for the masses to rise up and join forces against the rich.

The wage gap in the USA is greater then it was right before the French Rev. As the USA creeps toward it's 250th bday...it's almost like it's time. Look at what S Korea has been doing, if only we could all unite, we're in the same boat. Its not a left right issue it's a rich/poor. The rich get richer and can pay their buddies to keep them rich. I look at other leading countries and what they offer their people for their taxes and then look at my taxes and groan. Where's the tea to dump in the harbor?

Former coworker came to work tipsy and had alcohol door-dashed.

Time for that reset.

My first thought was, "Oh look, the garbage took itself out." second was "Wait mom was wrong, the garbage WILL take itself out!"

My hubby answers 2 ways, waste their time so they aren't out scamming someone else or something like "Myrtles Meathouse, You kill it and We'll grill it". Or "Tony's Tampon emporium, Do I need to tell you where to stick it?" my fav will always be him dropping his voice an octave and answering "Gertrude's Whore House, Gertrude speaking."
