Inflation is regional also.
Where I live the single mom makes $16 an hour, but move in ready 3 bedrooms sell for $100,000.
It’s possible with programs like the one bill clinton signed. In the 90’s, single working, or enrolled in college parents could get free childcare.
It’s rare to hear any politician today speak to working poor people. They speak to every class but the purely economic.

Exactly. Somewhere between 1/3-2/3 of Americans are a missed check away from being homeless.
It's all true what you say. As public education gets shittier, more and more people find themselves in this position as the middle class gets smaller and smaller. Biden addressed this wanting to bring taxes back on billionaires. There's no reason these people shouldn't be paying the lions share so there is money for social programs, infrastructure, and a safety net for the working poor.
Did y'all hear about this little nugget?
Let's see, steal billions of dollars from highly respected world institutions and give everybody a six week course on how to be a real estate mogul. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Hey Donny, America fired you for a reason.

I've been taking a medication for a while and last month the cost went through the roof making it impossible for me to continue using it. I had a Dr apt to discuss other options. The 3 other options were between 4K$-6$k a month. I had to go with a generic medication that was not on the list of best options. Health care is BS and it is purely profit driven. No one can get the best health care if you don't have the money in the USA. Out of the wealthiest countries in the world, the USA is last.
Where are 3 bedroom homes selling for $100,000 these days?
Here's the typical home price in every state — and what you can actually get for that money
With help from Zillow, we found out the median home value in each of the 50 states (plus Washington, DC).

I put 100K as low and high range of prices for 3/2 homes. Plug in 100K to 200K and see what's available.
Many medical insurance plans have a catastrophic zone where you hit your max out of pocket and then they pay most of the cost. I hit it last year.
Out-of-pocket max doesn't help living on a retirement income. I would be homeless having to pay that until the max out of pocket is reached. It's all based on profits. That is not good healthcare.
Oh I get it and pay dearly. Lived in Europe for many years. Max script charge was $15 and my doctor made house calls if I was too sick to go. This corporate rip off has to stop along with the dark money they slip to politicians. Big Pharma and oil are the worst.

It’s not being profit based that destroys it. It’s the regulators coming from within the industry that kills medical care in the us.
Nonsense. The only country that charges such high prices is the USA. The same medication taken in Canada is $200 for me here in the USA it is $1000. THAT IS PURE GREED.

America is not the only country that allows profit in healthcare. But I’m pretty sure we’re the only place selling $50 aspirin in hospitals.

My son was on a medication that our insurance paid $800 a month for. We moved and were in between insurance, so we had to pay cash. The cash price was under $250. It woke me up to how the industry works here in America.
There are few.
I used Tampa with the realtor.com site with $100,000 maximum.
Many of those listed above are mobile/manufactured homes. My wife and I started our married life in a single wide trailer on a dirt road. Good to see there are options available.
i've bumped into this myself. i was enrolled into a "prescription plan" by an employer. my blood pressure meds were $28 a month, not bad, right? pharmacist told me "you know, if you ignore your plan and pay cash, it's $4.00 for a month." i was paying $24 per month for EACH prescription for the "plan" to "manage" things...
