I pay my lot rent through an app. The app gives you an option of paying it in installments, with interest of course.

The One Percenter Owned Congress will never make Corporations pay a Living Wage; were they to do so, there would be less profits for Billionaires, and we can't have that.

Everything Trump and republicans are doing will exacerbate this.

The destruction of America is a sad thing to witness.

I complain about who's in office or republicans did this or that.

That's the way it's supposed to be, stability.

Until Trump.

Always spend less than you earn. Support your country and your friends and neighbors and charity. Disclose what demographic elements in society do oddly hate neighbors and country and promote criminality and anarchy. Common sense becomes sense. Lack of it is a danger to all.
