After the election in November I took a snapshot of the current prices of staples in my local supermarket and the average cost of gas in the country. Yesterday I decided to see where we are on prices
I would love to know where Trump shops and gets his gas.

House passes Republican bill requiring voters provide proof of U.S. citizenship The issue is one of President Donald Trump's top election-related priorities.

These 4 democrats just took away married woman’s right to vote: Reps. Ed Case of Hawaii, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Perez of Washington.

Spoiler: It is absolutely market manipulation

Who wants to risk not being able to house and feed a child in this atmosphere?
Not to mention all the future global climate issues and the threat of an authoritarian regime on the horizon.

Steelmaker to lay off 600 employees at Michigan plant due to weak auto demand Steelmaker Cleveland-Cliffs will lay off about 600 workers at its Dearborn Works in Michigan and pause some operations due to weak demand for automotive steel.

So if Elon lays you off, or if the American car manufacturers have to layoff factory workers due to the slow down of sales from high tariffs (www.foxbusiness.com/economy/stee...) or the Travel/Tourism industry layoffs due to US boycotts on travel to the USA continues causing layoffs.

or even having children and basically amount to Anti-Family.
Children cost money (Middle-income parents with two children will spend an average of $310,605 for a child born in 2015 until they turn 17 in 2032. www.investopedia.com/articles/per...)

Not having federally mandated paid Maternity /Paternity leave. Cutting off education funds to public schools to help special needs students, Headstart programs, grants among other child-relate programs. These and a host of other child related issues that are a deterrent from having more children

Laying off tens of thousands of people in the public sector that also reverberates to the private sector. Raising tariffs that affect the economy for working families. Making remote workers return to the office for no real apparent reason making home child-care an issue.

Feeling the need to bring back my Handmaiden 🖕 profile photo for the foreseeable future. The hypocrisy is very strong this week.
I have no issues with people who want to have children or a large family. But you can’t talk pronatalism when your actions and policies are essentially anti family.

I hope you weren’t relying on your 401K retirement funds after they take away your social security

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
