I was talking to one of my friends and he mentioned staying home on July 4, citing how there are a lot of really ugly things going on in the US.

After thinking about this myself, I’m starting to feel the same way. Instead of being proud of the country, I’m feeling like I’m just another wallet that companies and the government are trying to suck all the money out of.

The cost of living is going up, the housing market is a nightmare, I don’t feel very confident in our government at all, the job market is a nightmare…

I think I’ll be staying home this year too… anyone else?

    I’m sorry but that makes me vomit in my mouth thinking about it. There is NOTHING good or right with this nation. Genocide against the natives, slavery, bigotry & ignorance, and then endless wars and division. This nation is the United Snake.
