America's Broken Dreams

  • The poor bore the brunt of the subprime and credit crisis in 2008. Today, it's the middle class's turn. The impoverishment of the American middle class is stark. In a country that has embraced liberalism as a creed, there is no safety net to speak of. For those who lose their jobs, the consequences are immediate and devastating.
    Larry Dodson, 52 years old, used to lead a major customer service department. But two years ago, he lost his job and his home. Today, he lives in a motel room with his wife and two children, making just $820 a month by hosting tourists at Disney World. After paying the motel fees, he's left with only $70 for food and other necessities.
    Terry was a sales director and enjoyed a comfortable life until he was laid off. He ended up moving from one motel to another in his car and was eventually deemed "economically unfit" to care for his six children. The three oldest were placed in foster care. Currently, there are 1,800 children growing up in motels around Disney World. They constantly change schools because their parents are forced to find cheaper housing.

      in the USA (per the 2018 largest study of American millionaires for the book "everyday millionaire") 90% of millionaires are self made.
      another 5% received some inheritance, but not enough to make them a millionaire. so only 5% of actual total millionaires are from inheritance as a single source.
      also, in america the wealthy pay all the taxes. another lie of the left is that the wealthy dont pay fair shares of taxes. 25% of the wealthiest earners in the USA pay 85% of the total federal tax bill.

    At the very beginning of Covid both my wife and I lost our jobs after working at the same place for 23 years. No severance pay ... company declared bankruptcy and that was that. Within a month I was diagnosed with kidney cancer and needed surgery and treatment. No more work benefits so all our years of savings went into my treatment and paying our mortgage. 3 years later I sold our house and moved 1200 miles away and bought a small 2 bedroom bungalow. If wasn't for our savings and that our mortgage was paid off in 2021 we would be in the same situation. It is terrifying when you almost lose everything you worked so hard for.

    In March 2024, an Atlanta news station did an investigation into who was buying up all the houses in the area. They found 3 companies own 19,000 homes. None of the houses are for sale, all are for rent only. There is no law in Georgia that prevents this from happening. Home rental prices in the Atlanta area are going up. The American dream of owning a home is over. Corporations in California and New York are doing the same thing. The rich are getting richer and creating more low income people.

I‘m solid middle class, and I only have one kid, as to provide a solid foundation to a child is about 250,000$ - and that’s not even counting college/university! Love is a great thing, but it doesn’t feed you and it doesn’t provide you education etc. Children growing up with adult worries are in a lot of cases not ideally equipped to be successful individuals. Kids should be able to have a childhood, a puberty in which they revolt and test boundaries, and through that learn the responsibilities of an adult. None of these children shown here has that path ahead of them. It’s just sad! Don’t have kids if you can’t provide for them!

Yes if you buy a tiny house upfront that can be expensive. Having said that it's common to start in an old RV, travel trailer, van life van or bus. After that you can learn to build your own tiny house or save money for help in building it or save money to buy one new or used. You can also opt to purchase a tiny house workable shed , these come in many sizes, shapes, price ranges and you can over time build it out into a tiny house. You can build a dustcrete house, an earthship house, a sandbag house, a straw bale house, or a wood house. The options are many... You can again do it over time. When you've completed the set up and building you will own it free and clear, no rent, no mortgage, etc and only have to concern yourself with the property taxes. If you buy the property wisely the property taxes will be low .... Etc.. So no it's not insanely expensive to go off grid though of course it can be if you just run to a tiny house manufacturer and buy a luxury model tiny home first thing... Needless to say even if you do that, as long as you can pay it off quickly, you will never throw money down the toilet again forever paying mortgage or rent - every month for average 30 years on mortgage regardless of whether your income stops or not. If income reduces or stops you can't pay that mortgage and you lose that house.. With rent it's endless, the landlord can raise the rent, and if income reduces you get evicted . So pick an option.....

      @@SiberiaDreams btw as an addition: I live my advice. I have my property paid off free and clear. I have my property taxes paid years into the future. I have a class c RV and travel trailer on site both can be lived in. I built two tiny homes on site. I built a four room barn . I have two more tiny homes that should be completed by the end of this coming summer. The property is fully fenced. I have three garden areas and small livestock. If I lost my job tomorrow I could easily live on the property in decent comfort, eat free, run phone and computer via solar set up I got done last summer. Leisurely apply for a new job ... The only thing that would not be leisurely about it would be the payments on some other parcels I'm working on getting paid off -- like the problem with either rent or mortgage that monthly payment is the killer except with traditional mortgage it let's 30 years on average and with rent it'll NEVER ever end.... I was able to even fight for my minor children for years against a millionaire sociopath because I live off grid like this.. Something I couldn't have done on my income at all if I paid rent or mortgage... So please tell me how on earth teaching others how to do it is stupid and setting them up for a life they cannot afford. It's absolutely not .. People who can't afford mortgage or rent go homeless or throw all their money away on motel rooms. I can pick what spot, home, I want to sleep in any night of the week and I have no payments. It's all paid off except the additional properties I'm paying on for my kids..... In case you're concluding I must be rich, nope. I earn $20 an hour... I did all this between earning $20 an hour for the first year, then a job that paid $13 an hour for two years, and unemployed due to the covid pandemic shutdown.. And also had two jobs , not at the same time, right after the covid shutdown, temporary jobs, that paid only $11 an hour (one job was circle k clerk for a few months and the other was ups warehouse for a few months because other jobs weren't available after the lockdowns,)... That's how rich I was and am to get this done... Also I had no savings, no inheritance, etc . I got zero dollars from the millionaire ex , instead I got to pay $300 an hour for lawyers to fight for my kids. I get no spousal support and no child support income.. Clearly what I did anyone can do.. I also have three heart conditions, autoimmune disease and I didn't know how to build anything when I started...... So again anyone can do it...... I started by paying the property off free and clear fast by making as many extra payments as I could. Knocked that out in about a year. The minimum property payment was like $140 a month. I paid more each month. Then I bought an old motor home for $450. I put the motor home on the property and like instant magic I had a reasonably safe, extremely cozy little house to live in off grid.. Next I did the barn. I worked on the fence, and ended up buying a fifth wheel travel trailer for another living unit...I finished the fence and built the first tiny house by the second summer on the property and I just kept going from there.....

It isn't so much the jobs, it is the cost of living, ie housing, food, gas, utilities. No one can afford a house today and next will be a decent vehicle. Apartments have delusions of grander thinking that they are justified charging mortgage rates for an apartment, no garage, no yard, live on top of each other and pay 1800 for a shitty 1 bdrm. I remember in the 1990's you could buy a brand new home for under 100K in Phx, AZ, 2 bedroom apartments were 550 or less, food and utilities were affordable. It is so sad that young couples making 70K a year cannot buy a home, what happened to starter homes, to the American dream.... it is long gone and nobody seems to care.

    It's so weird watching this as a Norwegian... When we grew up, America was a nation we all looked up to. It had such good reputation, and was seen as the ideal state of the whole world. All the movies... the industry... the stnadard of life. It was all American, and we were all inspired by it.
    Now, many years later, it's really sad watching this nation collapse. Not by war, but by greed from it's own inside. It feels very strange that such a strong nation is actually going under, even though it's downfall is somewhat slow.
    Bets of luck to you, now that China and the East is taking over.

    I'm recovering from my 4th spinal surgery , medical bills are piling up , an unexpected $1000 trip to an avian vet ( parrot Dr), was banged over the head for 1500 bucks today to keep my Cobra health insurance ,and watch every nickel I spend and this video puts it into perspective. I still have a home , we don't eat at a shelter, I have health coverage , I didn't loose my beloved pet, I have a tablet to watch this on and so on.
    Moral of the story , stay humble. God can provide all of us but at the blink of an eye , it can all disappear and mankind can struggle overnight. I donate to a lot of shelters and to those whom have less then I do even when I have just enough to get by. Help others who need it people. It's a feeling you can't buy. Mom told me as a kid that if I found a dollar to to buy another kid who is less fortunate a Chocolate milk at lunch. If I didn't have money I would share my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and half of my apple. I hope the kids I've helped passed that on as an adult.

    The one thing that most people don’t seem to grasp about poverty is children. Most impoverished people alway have 2+ kids, usually more. I don’t care if you have a degree, the child factor keeps a person from prosperity, for the most part. I wish more folks would understand this. If you can’t take care of yourself, don’t add kids to the equation.

      That’s easy to say, but having children is ALWAYS selfish, no matter how much money you have. Unless you are god(I know many people believe they are god), you cannot control most of what happens in the life of any human you bring into the world. I accept that having children is selfish, and I don’t judge people for doing it. We are not rational creatures; we are emotional ones, particularly when under the type of chronic stress that all modern humans experience. You may believe you wouldn’t have children if you were in the shoes of another person, but if you were them, you’d do exactly what they do.

      lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.)
      lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
      lie: voting matters (fact: politic propaganda)
      lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide, it should be not loved, only used as needed.)
      lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE and 2 members expose their own lies, one is still alive, the other (Wernher Von Braun) place a clear clue on his own gravestone) - you havn´t searched - have you?
      lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal - Georgia Guidestones!)
      lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
      to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid?
      Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
      lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
      lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)
      lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge)
      lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage)
      lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?)
      Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that)
      lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV)
      I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.)
      to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers.
      lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government)

      John 15:13
      Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
      Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more)
      lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will)
      24 lies, should i go on?
      This world ain´t deceived, out there to deceive?
      9 - 5 working industry was created, because masons wants slaves. Schools systems prepared us for our future slavery. Wise ones reject this and seek GOD and start relying on HIM fully. it is unwise to count on the governments of this world. Didn´t they proved in 2020 how badly far are they from reality? slavery turn no soul rich, the price for such slavery is opposite:
      you lost:
      time (1st 20 years = childhood, then comes 40 years for slavery = your 20s, your 30s, your 40s, your 50s, then comes 50 years of being elderly = 60 - 100)
      health = all these vaccines, which slowly turns you a cripple + man made fake food ( we are dust and should consume which comes directly from dust)
      life = no time and no health = early grave
      Each of us shall lose 3 times, gain nothing more then illusions.
      When reading THE BIBLE (KJV) and complaining abut the slavery in the past, know then this, that
      9 - 5 working industry = slavery of our day.

    I’m one of the lucky ones but my life still sucks.
    I’m 45 and have a decent job in tech. But I had to leave a job back in 2008 due to a mental health crisis (something we don’t seem to care about at all in the US), and that permanently ruined my life.
    I had to go into a ton of credit card debt just to pay for massively expensive health insurance for my family.
    Today I make more money than I ever thought possible, yet I can just barely make ends meet to feed my family and pay my bills. Rent keeps increasing about 6-8% every year. credit card companies keep rising the interest. Groceries are absurdly expensive and keep increasing.
    Meanwhile my mental health is deteriorating and forcing me to miss work, to the point where I’m worried I’ll lose my job. When that happens, I’ll be in the next one of these documentaries. Or maybe I’ll just end things. Who knows.
    This country is shit. I’d leave if I had the means but I don’t.

      I am not going to tell you that your feelings do not matter, that would be very uncaring and a horrible thing to say. I will say to you...seek God through His Word and through His son Christ Jesus. He said that He would be with you always, even unto the end of the world. Please start reading the Gospels, start in any order you wish but I recommend starting with the Gospel of St. John. When you read, believe every word is from God our creator, our Father and that every word is true. Trust me, He will fill you with Love and a Strength you never thought was possible for you. He will deliver healing to your spirit and heart and life and His spirit will drive out anything that is encouraging you to "end it". The Lord loves you more that the stars and galaxies in the sky. Why? Because you are His Child, made in His Image. Trust and believe in Him and his word, repent of all things that are not of God and determine in your heart to follow Him daily. Get baptized in the future when you can and be filled with the Holy Spirit my friend. God loves you and so do I. I will keep you in prayer.
      your brother in Christ,
      Paul.
