Gilded Age of America: Big biz boomed, cities swelled, workers struck. Tycoons got rich, tenements got packed. Steel, sweat, and corruption built America—while reform simmered beneath the gold. #GildedAge #History #Labor

The government is merely a servant―merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.

I decided, that I am going to take back my county’s flag. We have a wealthy country, that should take pride that we have the ability & means to provide. We should remember that this is the only flag that counts, it stands for “WE the people..” & the binding law of the land is The Constitution.

I’m struggling to understand how the Constitution, which should be sacred, is being trampled. What exactly are we doing? I have to question our leaders on both sides of the aisle at this point.

Once again, Trump has shown he cannot lead. His supporters can no longer justify or excuse his actions. He must now pause his plans after yet another constitutional loss and market turmoil. By continuing to follow him, the GOP may one day just point a finger 👉and say, “He did it.”

It’s disappointing when a minority in power has the chance to support those counting on them but fails. It makes me question their platform. Instead of just opening the door, they need to take real action. We need less politics and more leadership.

Read this how you want, but consider what it really means; we are in closely split country.

Average cost of a house in the US has historically been around 5x’s the yearly household income. Average income in the US $66,000, = house pricing should be $330,000. Right now it is: $419,200. It changed in 2006, to 7x’s of income that is: $462,00. It costs no more today than it did historically.
