[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is the road go hell always paved with progressive ideas? [/quote] The problem is our current orange dictator has destroyed the local economy thanks to DOGE (all while pillaging citizens’ data, appointing drunkards and tv stars to leadership positions, and making himself and his billionaire buddies even wealthier). And to the extent any jobs have been “gained” in this region, they’re mostly lower paying jobs that do not actually make up for the lost white collar jobs because no one in either party seems to want to reign in private equity, limit H1Bs, or regulate AI in order to salvage decent-paying knowledge jobs. Then add in a stupid war, inflation, spiking gas prices (which makes the cost of transporting food more expensive), and lack of leisure time due to strict RTO and people working multiple gig jobs, and many people just do not have the time nor money to go out to an expensive restaurant on any frequent basis. Also the cost of everything like college, housing, etc. is through the roof. I’d rather add to my kids’ 529s than pay for a sitter to go eat a $200 dinner somewhere nice.[/quote]
