November due to November election weather front comes with brutal winds and cold. No matter who wins. Freedom to exist becomes total struggle to exist on street or in shelter. In middle class house struggling with mortgage or debt to income. In wealthy home where investments went down in value with emerging market chaos.
I suffered no pain, my hunger had taken the edge off; instead I felt pleasantly empty, untouched by everything around me and happy to be unseen by all. I put my legs up on the bench and leaned back, the best way to feel the true well-being of seclusion. There wasn't a cloud in my mind, nor did I feel any discomfort, and I hadn't a single unfulfilled desire or craving as far as my thought could reach. I lay with open eyes in a state of utter absence from myself and felt deliciously out of it. Knut Hamsun. Hunger

Gas, groceries, electricity, and rent -- the price of everything has soared to four-decade highs under the Biden administration. Household finances are under severe pressure as wage growth fails to outpace inflation for 18 months, leading many folks to find a second job. Even holding two jobs isn't enough to sustain the cost-of-living crisis, as some are finding the nearest plasma clinic to donate blood to earn extra cash.Â
Cashe Lewis, 31, of Denver, Colorado, works multiple jobs and is trying to find a third job due to rising shelter inflation. She told The Guardian she works six days a week, sometimes more than 16 hours per day, just to pay the bills.Â
"I'm exhausted all the time ... on the one day I have off a week, I donate plasma for extra money. I'm literally selling my blood to eat because I have no choice," Lewis said.Â
And yet people go along with Biden, Macron and Trudeau, etc's "energy policies," something that hurts the average person just trying to stay warm, eat enough and get an education or job. My family may not have lots extra, but we have enough. I cannot imagine being a struggling parent, especially a single one, in this day and age. I truly believe that what we have is because of the promise of God, to always take care of us provided we do our part and depend on Him. It's not always easy, but it is always faithful.
People. Yes all kinds go along. Some not. Struggle is now normal. No longer invisible. Card payment to card payment American just like the State.
