This picture I show you right here, that little picture there's popcorn, a little bit of fruit, celery, potatoes. It was $25. And everything fit in one bag. Now, as someone who lives alone, I can't say single, but my significant other does not live with me. Does not eat from my fridge. Nobody eats from my food but me. I am still spending $100 a week. And I'm a minimalist. Granted, I'm up north
But the point of keeping us in poverty and struggling is to keep us maybe feeling inferior. Maybe that's a way that we have come to think now. It's almost like, who cares? I don't care if you succeed. And I feel like that's what the world around us is showing us right now, is that it's a me me thing. And our own government has maybe gotten a little me based

But it's going to have everything in there, your bathroom, it's for a single person. And that's what I think is where this is headed for the poverty reduction is the fact that at some point a capitalist and it's not going to be considered low income housing because they don't want the government assistance
And I think that's what a lot of the kids are kind of gravitating to, is they're talking about not renting. Some are still buying the houses and doing the things. But I think what you just said makes a lot of sense

So, yeah, we're starting to see this sharp increase in inflation. And like you said, the debt addiction, when you're raised in a situation where you've always been taught that debt is the way you acquire things, you have to go into debt to buy a house. You have to go into debt to buy a car. You have to go into debt to get everything, then that debt addiction seed is planted. When you are taught that this is the way you acquire everything

It's getting harder and harder to find certain foods in grocery stores. And so, yeah, it's a crazy time we're living in, but I agree with you. I wonder what's lying beneath? What is the real root cause for all of this? Rising gas prices, rising house prices, rising food prices? What is the underlying cause for all of this? What's the purpose and the goal that they're trying to obtain by allowing these prices to remain as high as they are?

But they were $200. And that was with my coupon, because they would have been 250. I had a $50 off coupon. I didn't have $250, but I knew by getting that, that would feed me for a long time, and with the different flavors, I won't get bored of it, hopefully. So I ended up putting it on my low rent credit card with only a $500 balance or a $500 limit. That's how we're surviving
Hey, Brian. Listening to your reply on this, I had a question, and I thought of having you ponder it. I have friends in Florida who said that recently, when there's been, like, a drug bust inside of a home, no matter how nice the home is or how condemned the home is, that once there's, like, a major drug bust in these homes. They condemn them and they no longer allow them to be used as rental properties or any type of property
