You people tend to call receiving help from the federal government “socialism”, so my comment stands. Red states receive more federal funds than they pay taxes.

The recent viral video of the adulterers at that concert getting called out got me thinking Personally, I am more bothered by the surveillance and lack of discretion on the part of the people who handled the video. A video featuring a couple at a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, went viral after they were caught on the kiss cam appearing to engage in an affair. The incident occurred on July 17, 2025. The clip shows the couple initially embracing before quickly attempting to duck out of the camera’s view when they realize they’re on the big screen. Coldplay frontman Chris Martin playfully commented on the situation, saying, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy,” according to Yahoo Creators. https://creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/story/coldplay-is-outing-cheating-lovers-at-their-concerts-on-their-kiss-cam—heres-what-happened-180308040.html

I think I just get worried about my dad thinking Im a bum or Im not gonna do anything with my life He invited you. Make a deadline for when your “vacation” will end – like signing up for school. In the meantime get yourself a part time job in a convenience store or something similar while you settle down.

The more expensive states tend to have higher taxes. Taxes pay for things like better roads, better schools, and better services. Those things improve the quality of life in the state. You get what you pay for.

It might have something to do with those places being better at the criteria listed in the original post and the article.

It would have been better to write that you have been disappointed by your $1,000 saving goal being thwarted several times. I’m sure your dog is still happy to be alive, that you still enjoy clean clothing, and that you enjoy that your teeth are taken care of. Look at what your money paid for.

You asked. I am angry at what the MAGAs have done to the United States. Now that I think of it, now that this fool bigot is a Russian citizen he will no longer be voting in the U.S. so there is a positive side to what he did.
