The situation in our country just seems to keep slipping.
There are always all the promises of progress but the screws tend to turn just a bit tighter every single year.
I wonder just how long all this economic stress will be sustainable. The strategy of saddling the middle class with the load has basically wiped out any vestige of a middle class in this country. A person has to have a second job just to put food on the table for his family. The debts are relentless. Simply to live in this country takes such a huge amount of money. Health insurance is not working. Don’t even get me started on the weight of a student debt I will be carrying for basically the rest of my life. I don’t know whether to put one foot forward of just give up entirely. But, I keep going, keep trying to find ways to save. However, I will only go so far to shave the household budget. Heating and cooling comfort are simply not available to be cut. I am so for all of us doing our collective best to save energy. And I am more than happy to do my part to conserve. However, when I get home from a hot, sweaty work day, I am going to be able to be cool in my own house. The smart thermostat does good work in this regard. I can tell it start to cool down the house to the preferred setting about an hour before I get to the house. I’m gonna keep doing my part but I’m not ready to be a pile of sweat in my home.
