Tell me, whats actually going on in your town?
Watching the activity near me, I just see the same ol’, same old.
here? service jobs mostly. paper delivery, "will sit with loved ones" ads, "want fries with that, sir?" just one large company decide to move from nearby city & this place will dry up & blow the fuck away...
40 years ago I was paying $350 a month rent for a townhouse overlooking the Newport Peninsula. Sit in the living room and watch the sailboats.40 years ago - take home for average joes was about 4 times rent.
nowadays, take home = 2 times rent.
then consider the cost of "medical" care, in the US.
The US economy is crumbling, for the middle class.
Almost like watching Habitat destruction, except this is people Habitat.
Perhaps the Middle Class could get protected species protection, like the Spotted Owl ?
