You know, I am starting to think this feller doesn't like to follow convention.

Gonna have to go earlier than that; or at least very early gen-Xers. Wife and I (born 80 and 77, respectively) were paycheck to paycheck until we were in our late 30s. Consider until like '98 or 2000, I was making 4.35 an hour (in San Diego, no less) . We are good now, but only because I am in the tech field and we live in a sorta low cost-of-life area. But even now, saving for retirement and my kids college funds doesn't leave a whole hell of a lot sitting around. Mind that we budget like mad. Know what every bill will be a year out and have buckets for those.
Point of that cool story is that there have been many generations of people living check-to-check. Boomers are probably the closest thing to maybe working a service job, but still having enough to pay mortgage on a little ranch-style house or at least covering rent and other bills.
Sounds like they are doing far worse than they would like there. Here in Oregon, we have people setting drop boxes on fire. You think he gives a shit about that? I haven't heard him mention it. Come to think of it, I haven't heard Kamala say anything about it either, but that's beside the point.
They are slipping in PA and the only recourse, since a viable message and sustainable platform isn't available, is to sow the seeds of doubt. I don't know what his base of PA voters might think about wasting their time voting if its all rigged, like he claims; Perhaps his plan might blow up in his face. No harm for the democrats to keep letting him run his mouth. I mean, apart from the stochastic terrorism thing.
He is full of shit, for sure. But let's say we take his claim at face value, that level of stupidity has no business in political power. So, lose-lose.
That is on par with most of political scandals and the defenses given, they are either clearly in on the fuckery, or so monumentally stupid that they were unaware of it happening around them or that it was illegal/immoral. There is no answer that gets them off the hook and provides confidence in their abilities.
Manage your finances. Know where every penny goes. Budget as best as you can - plan for all of the things you know you spend money on through a year. It doesn't mean you can't spend money on things you like, but it does mean that you know when you can afford it. It gives you confidence and control no matter how much you are making.
Hey look, a foreigner actively engaging in voter fraud!
Sage advice
The department is working tirelessly to apprehend the criminals.
My wife works in a higher-end memory care center as a caregiver, and I can confirm they don't pay nearly enough.
Exactly. 20 years of samey power in a porkier, blander, body. What's not to love? I just can't imagine a 22b would appreciate the glance into the future.
Just my snarky, subjective take.
Throw the WRX up there too

Yeah, I really like Polygondwanaland and Flying Microtonal Banana. The rest, save for one other album (don't recall which one) I just can't get into. They have cranked out so many albums exploring, but not mastering, so many genres that it's not surprising to be underwater on the K/D ratio.
