America we grew up in is no longer the same America. At 26 we already had our first nice home 4 years after landing here. To be honest, I don't see 95% of today's young people buying a home by 26. They will likely live with parents until past 30 just break through. Millions of Americans with fixed income and social security would do well outside US, especially in a place like Kenya, Ghana, Portugal etc. $4K monthly for retirees and pension folk is enough to live large in Nairobi, and even bigger in small town Africa. Rich folks here like Black Rock are buying homes, hording and waiting for Democrats to fix economy, so they can rent it high, but in the meantime, they are squeezing folks hard. Biden Booming Econmy is in the rear view

America is super-rich with 90k usd per capita. This is an inequality problem. Oligarchy. Just as in Kenya or Africa - Trump and the politicians promise miracles and then sell the rednecks and working class out. Trump just passed the biggest tax cut for the rich - via the big beautiful bill - while kicking out millions from Medicaid, food stamps and welfare. MAGA is like Ruto bottom-up ponzi - a pure white lie.

In Germany, Sweden and other European states there is much less homelessness and poverty. I know many relatively well-paid folks there whining about steep taxes. A buddy in Gothenburg tells me there is stiff minimum wage (for the nanny) and such rules on top of 50%+ payroll tax. To fund the welfare system.

That's the first: inequality.

Second capitalism is flawed. Buying a house is out of reach for most people here. You need 5x to 10x the income of a Nairobian to have their lifestyle. But Mark Zuckerberg owns an island.

If the US elected Bernie Sanders and progressives most of the inequality problems would be solved in short order. Fat chance.

Oligargy angle has been here since 80s, but it was manageable until Biden left office. Trump has introduced Tourism collapse, FEMA gutting, Medicare & Medicaid cuts, Tarriffs, Visa/Immigration squeeze, and as a result Hurricane that was Cat 1, just became Cat 5. I don't think Crazy Bernie would have done anything meaningful, but for sure would have been better than Trump. America requires Liberal democrat like Gavin Newsome to deliver the usual stellar Economic boom like Clinton, Obama, and Biden delivered! Latin America, Canada is pulling out because of Trump and that is why Florida, Las Vegas, and most towns are slowly turning to ghost towns like Apalachia!

American economy few months ago, I would go to my local Sam's club and wait in line for ever only to check out myself because of no employees to fill positions. I hated spending $500 only to check out myself. This week, I go and am out in few minutes, lines have dwindled. I wonder why? Outside there are people begging, or selling stuff like we are in Uganda lol. A big Sams club can operate with 10 employees at a time. 6 stocking, 2 at register to monitor check out machines and 2 walking around like lost people, zero cashiers. Companies have seriously cut employees while overworking the few like donkeys and if they complain there are 300 aplicants willing to fill the few positions.

Yes Trump is seriously bonkers kidnapping valid greencard and visa holders. Even Canadians. Then deport them to El Salvador! Tourism is dead. Foreign students dead. Anyone who supports Palestine dead. Basically I wouldn't set foot in the US if I was a foreigner planning my holiday. Just go to Paris or Greece.

The economy has not yet taken the hit from deported casual labor from Mexico. Ngoja inakuja. Thousands of California farm fruit pickers have been rounded up and deported - in chains like terrorists - farmers are raging mad.

Trump is crazy.
