No, it doesn't. Just seems odd to complain about 2.5/3% inflation after what we just went through.JohnnyYou » 08 Sep 2025, 4:05 am » wrote: ↑ So that justifies making it worse?

How is MAGA a pursuit of happiness?. They thrive on hate, discontent, and divisive dysfunctionality. They do have that right. But taking mine away in the process is unacceptable.
The American Dream is the belief that anyone can achieve success and prosperity through hard work and determination, regardless of their background, rooted in the U.S. Declaration of Independence. While historically often associated with owning a home and achieving social mobility, the definition has evolved to encompass a broader pursuit of happiness, opportunity, and a better life for oneself and one's family.Vegas » 04 Sep 2025, 1:19 pm » wrote: ↑ I have heard that phrase since the day I was born. Yet, I never really heard it defined or understood exactly what that is supposed to be? America is not the only country in the world that is considered free. Supposedly, both Americans and people around the world want to live "The American Dream."
What exactly is that?

- James Truslow Adams:
The phrase "the American Dream" was coined by historian James Truslow Adams in his 1931 book, Epic of America.
- Horatio Alger Jr.:
The rags-to-riches stories of this author further encapsulated the ideal of individual success through hard work.Evolution of the Dream
- Traditional vs. Modern:
While owning a home remains a common desire, recent generations increasingly view other elements, like renting a home or simply achieving financial stability and safety, as integral to the dream.
- Challenges:
Economic downturns, rising costs, and systemic inequalities have made achieving the traditional American Dream, particularly homeownership and upward mobility, more difficult for many.

For many immigrants, the American Dream is a promise of safety, freedom from violence and persecution, and a better, more secure life for their children.

I hear ya on the increases coming down on us. Our homeowners insurance spiked 34% and umbrella policy went up 68%. The first page of the policy is a thank you note for our loyalty, they don't know me very well! I'll be shopping today on principle alone.
Property tax only went up $12.
I'm a cheap bastard when it comes to that sort of stuff.LowIQTrash » 08 Sep 2025, 2:09 pm » wrote: ↑ Insurance companies had better not mess with Fuel “Money” Man
