It feels like everything that exists these days is to drain money from me. Tourism is out of control. I don’t even want to travel anymore. Video games, kids sports, eating out… It’s all overly expensive just because they can.

It’s frustrating.

    My dad has always described the US as the land of bilk and money.

    Since I moved here ~a decade ago, I’ve been constantly shocked at the background level of cheating others that goes on. I definitely agree that it’s worse now, but we’ve been a nation of two-bit grifters since we’ve been a nation.
