  10. Spend $40 and use a voice-over translator. You simply provide disconnect and distraction with subtitles. Didn't you learn that in film school, clowns?

    Media is the Enemy of us all including these Reporters who are told what to say! Pathetic!

  15. "Can Americans keep up with rising rents ?" Nope. That's the point. Step 1 : The Democrats run up inflation so people can't afford the basics.
    Step 2 : The Democrats turn rental property owners into demons for raising the rent because of inflation.
    Stalin did it with landowners – demonized those 'kulaks' as an excuse to seize their land. It's a Leftist thing.

  16. No offense.
    Don't keep pet like dog. Have less children or move to suburbs or rural area and take train to job site.
    Those are choices people made. Sorry, dog has maintenance unless you are not caring for it properly. Gov't provides living assistance, child support etc etc. Who is paying the taxes??

  22. Go back to your country maybe it’s cheaper

  23. If you lived through 9/11, you should have known better. Better luck next life
