Not just Dayton, Ohio, but Newark, New Jersey and all around the country. Our Congress has forgotten us.😢

My parents and this was in the 70s told their children all five of us be you wanna be They went to school and both studied medicine then they had children. That’s what kept them out of poverty. They passed that on to us medicine and not having children, and to you are married and our able to take care of them. You will stay out of poverty. Get mad at me all you want, but this is foreign to me because I came from my upper middle-class family and still living that way today why because I have not had children by a bumb that cannot take care of them I don’t know why some African-Americans just don’t get that get mad at my comment.

Greedy private equity scumbags in New York have purposely screwed over these rural & rust belt people for years. It stems from a cultural hatred in Eastern Europe.

Racism is what kills prosperity. Project 2025 will ensure it rules the way in the US

Unions have destroyed the American Manufacturing economy. Unsustainable high wages and ridiculous benefits have driven American companies abroad.

So what is the purpose of government if they're only working for themselves and for the wealthy? Do we need a government?

It's the fall of the Roman Empire 2.0.
No multicultural Multiracial balkinized society can ever survive.

You are well aware of the economy in the area but you choose to have children and continue to have children anyway?

If you strive to be the best at what you do, you most likely will always have a better than average pay. Live within your means and you will be OK.

Nan Whatley, you reference “the Great Depression” I’m pretty sure and intelligent person like you didn’t mean any modern event, the Great Depression is the even in 1929 that left 1:4 unemployed.

Must be a democratic run state

As technology advances companies will become more efficient and shareholders will gain the profit instead of workers. This is capitalism, and it's good, not bad.

@Thelivingwordthesword February 17, 2025 - 2:50 pm

I trust absolutely no man to do whats right because msn hss proven it cant be trusted look at what you have done to my creation how you treated it and its inhabitants. Each star ⭐ has seven Angels and each of the Angels hold a judgement bowl 🥣 God was only getting warmed up take care of the poor take care of thr middle class low wage earners every nation has an obligation to its own people thats every nation especially the United States.

@Thelivingwordthesword February 17, 2025 - 2:50 pm

This struggle is a manufactured struggle the every day citizens are thr victims especially the middle class and those who are paid low wages the true back bone foundation of this country especially lately the atruggle has been amplified, it mdkes no sense to only further add to this burden. Every man and woman on planet Earth reveives assustance and aid from God from the breath in your in lungs the water the fire used to keep from freezing from electricity used to power things even the elements in nuclear reactors evey cell in your body your chromosomes shoot even your besting heart all because of God if you were to buy a bag of cement that bag of cement is because if God that fuel used to power up your car. But changes are coming now cruel cold out of touch people arent goung to do well anymore their souls will be destroyed especially anyone trying to cause further hsrm to the poor middle class low income wage earners planet Earth will be completely consumed and turned into hell for bad people a literal hell especially for those further afdkicting creating more struggles for the Poor for the middle class low wage earners and every nation on earth will have the same effect for its citizens in Mexico Venezuela UK all nationa. Yiu see God was warning ⚠️ people they his warnings werent really eatimated or taken seriously.

Sadly automation and AI is going to displace many more. Technology is great but all of us are not trained for these jobs. Having a mortgage and children and losing your job can be catastrophic. This leads to depression which leads to the use of substance abuse. I can see why many youngsters don't want to have kids in an uncertain future.

@ericshang7744 February 17, 2025 - 2:50 pm

38:38 you have to ask, why an average worker works all day and barely make it, while Wall Street flooded in cash. Why everyday worker creates wealth, but those on top enjoys the wealth?

@wtf_is_a_parsnip February 17, 2025 - 2:50 pm

Russia got you blaming blacks, immigrants, gays, and poors that look just like you

Minimum wage hasn't gone up one cent since 1995, every year ceo's average salary goes up a couple more million. The ceo's are not gifted or talented, merely nepo babies. But go off about how corporate democrats have led us to this and not republikkkans trickle down lies…ead, maga, eat a fat one
