You can thank George w Bush for getting Americans perpetually at war, which gives the president the power to attack any time as commander-in-chief. No war? No commander-in-chief power.

Henceforth why the USA did an oil embargo on Japan. Then Japan sneaked attacked the USA for doing that (pearl harbor). Sucks what happened to China, but not everything is America’s fault.

Remember when the USA stopped supplying the Japanese with oil during world War 2? The USA has a gigantic military presence in Japan and laws governing their military, you want them to just leave and let Japan “do their thing”?

You bring up a great point. Once I applied for a mortgage and showed that I had a part time job and a small business. I had made some changes in my financial structure so it looked like on paper that year my company was failing even tho personally I made more money consistently over the years. Didn’t matter, my loan got rejected cuz technically the business was making less money.

Yes, yes it is pRiVaTe. Any other non logical statements you want to make?

Either you’re too rich or bad at investing.

That’s not a money issue. There are people from poor places that had good childhoods, such as farming families. Not saying there wasn’t struggle tho.

I’d like to add that not everything is inflating at the same rate, so you can certainly consume less of the crazy priced stuff. If you’re forced to buy it, like auto insurance, then start getting quotes from competitors.
