      Leftist (Marxist/Socialist) policies ALWAYS hurt the poor the most. This is all part of the plan to create a larger underclass wholly dependent upon government largesse that middle class taxpayers will have to pay for. That is until there is no more middle class people to tax, then the entire system crashes.

      Not to mention they lie to us at every turn. If they measured inflation the way it was measured back in the '90s, last year inflation was actually 18%. Time to realize that it does not matter at all if the Republicans or Democrats are in control, the average person is worse off year after year.

    A huge 371 store chain that has been providing cheap, affordable every-day items and groceries is closing every SINGLE one of their stores. People were hurting before
    financially, and now with these stores closing, many Americans are going to go over the financial cliff, but the government, it don't care!

    My partners mom was a hoarder. We cleaned her property. 3 HUGE dumpsters filled to the brim. One year later, she had accumulated just as much junk as we had cleared once again.🤬 Dealing with the mental dysfunction of a hoarder is the most frustrating, infuriating thing I have ever done.

      You can’t expect people to survive on 40k or less in todays world, with outrageous rent, mortgages, food, gas, insurance, utilities, daily living expenses, automobiles, drs. Visits, unexpected expenses, I’m not just talking LA, I mean even the rural areas of this country. Factor in inflation which is caused by the capitalist employer class raising prices at will for any reason they like, or what excuse they make up for doing it!
      And, then they are made to share the profits by paying their employees and adequate wage, they throw a hissy fit. It was fine when the workers we’re taking it on the chin ; but when equal compensation time comes, capitalism cries and says, “We can’t make it. The real truth is, they can make it; it’s just not a big enough profit margin for them like they were used to. They rather take their money and go milk someone else.
      Truth is they need their employees. They don’t make money with out their employees. No workers, no profits. They love INFLATION, it’s money in their pocket. They set the prices, only them. They have board meetings to raise prices. I don’t do it, you don’t do it. Even politicians don’t do it. The FED doesn’t even do it. Only the Company, CEO, shareholders, have the power to do it.
      The politicians and employers will try to blame the Fed. They’ll try to say the Fed pumped to much money in the economy that caused it. Wrong. The money supply has nothing ti do with it. In 1999-2023 the Fed has pumped money into the economy all these years solid. And, the quantitative easing. From 99-21 there was no inflation. Then, suddenly we had inflation? Why? Well, 99-21 proves that money supply has nothing to do with inflation. What happened from ‘21 onward? The Capitalist. Normally, in the preceding years, they would keep inventories full! Hire lots of people to flood the inventories. Supply and demand were meet. Warehouses full. No problems. BUT, this time around after the pandemic, and the presidental election, the barons of capitalism decided “we are going to not hire people, deplete the warehouses, inventories, and create SCARCITY! Thus, we shall have raise prices and create Inflation!! And, then we kick our boots up in the desk, and make excuses why it’s happening. LIES, we tell the American public lies like supply lines, logistics, a ship sank, weather etc etc We don’t want them angry at us!
      So, now they just raise prices! Inflation. Greed flation. Shrink flation. Everything across the board.
      So, they blame Biden. So, that’s why MBS and Putin are raising gas prices. The Saudis have cut crud oil production down, and Trump allowed the Saudis to buy the oil refineries down in Galveston TX that turns oil to gas. Putin and MBS want Biden out this fall. They dictator Trumo back in to destroy democracy.
      And, that’s what all this inflation is about! Make a Democrat look bad. The fed never works on the side of democrats. That was just proved the other day on the news. Fed always leans towards republicans. Powell was appointed by Trump. Historically has been true through all presidents.

I stocked up big time on these items! Back in the day this store would have huge boxes of clothes mens, womens and kids and every item was only 99 cents. Every time I saw these boxes in the stores I was looking through the entire huge box everything was just mixed together. I found some really cool vintage 1980s clothing in these boxes and still have some of the items to this day. The clothes looked like brand new and some of them still had the original manufacture hang tags on them.🎆
