    I went looking for these things you claim are there, and you're right! They are hidden in the screenshots without nary a mention! This is what the website SAYS: "What if we had a t…

    It really makes the US sound like a third world country to me. I have a confession: I've never ever not once in my life worked a job for pay. I have free housing, medical care, ele…
