@libertybele

I hear you. Same for me. Just about the time I realized that the healthcare industry was failing us big time, this book, written by a doctor who did a 180 in his practice, caught my eye. My doctor doesn't agree with his approach to good health, but since Big Pharma, Big Food and Big Medicine don't benefit from his approach, I'm all ears.

Yes, it has captured my attention as well. Thanks for the tip.

Never thought about that -- class action lawsuits just waiting to happen!  :beer:

Nah.  All these "new arrivals" will pay into SS and fund it for a hundred more years.

Yep. Wage inflation alone, especially post COVID with a gozillion small businesses gone, is just not enough to keep the tax money rolling in. I always figured that the government would inflate its way out of debt (I have one quadrillion dollars, Zimbwabe bucks, at par that would pay off the debt). That just has not been enough, despite record levels of inflation, so they will need more people kicking into the kitty.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Anyone who is without a job over the last 20 years just does not want to work. I pass help wanted signs every single day-high paying jobs. Gas field, skilled blue collar, health care and I live in a moderate growth area.
The jobs Hispanics took were jobs 99% of Americans would never do.  Field work, landscaping, meatpacking,  restaurant help such as dushwashers and busboys.
Actually, Hispanics have moved heavily into the construction sector, drywall, framing, roofing, concrete, and they are good at and fast. people who know how to work and are not afraid of breaking a sweat. The ones we see are a hard working bunch, and have good family values as well, but we are a ways from the southern border, too.

A nice way of saying that inflation will be bigger than expected next year.

Senior citizens will get an increase in their COLA, but they won’t be able to afford anything with it

I agree. Every business person today talks about how hard working Hispanics are over their white counterparts.  White males have become lazy, drug addicts and worthless and have an attitude.  Not all but many. It truly is sad.

If you want to  see another hard-working group of people, it’s Filipinos. We have several of them work in the hospital and they are the hardest working people I’ve ever seen.

And very socially conservative and family oriented. I believe they are Catholic

Word. Despite the increases in the last 2 years, I have numerous home repair and maintenance projects that I can't afford to have done. The same with my car.

It won't come anywhere close to what it would take to repair the damages it's doing to retired people.

No it won't.  They want to extinguish the retirees.. However, IMNHO they are tougher, smarter and more resourceful than those younger.
