If you are longing for a simpler time that is now gone forever, this video will likely hit HARD… 🥲

Our refrigerator just died... again. This is our second refrigerator in ten years. It was a Whirlpool, a "plain Jane" model with no bells, no whistles, and no fancy screens. We bought it for its simplicity, thinking it would be the one thing in our house that just worked. It lasted five years and one month, exactly thirty days past the warranty. The repairman’s verdict? A dead compressor. But the real diagnosis... it was Built to Break. Under the guise of "green" regulations and "energy efficiency," we’ve traded tanks that lasted thirty years for plastic-heavy shells that barely last five. We are forced to pay a premium for "high-efficiency" tech that saves ten cents a month on electricity, only to be told to throw the whole $1,500 unit into a landfill when a single internal component fails. It’s a racket. The government mandates the specs, the manufacturers cut the quality, and the consumer is left holding a bag of spoiled milk. We don’t own appliances anymore; we just lease them from the scrap yard.

If you read Wikipedia, you are told that Trump is a fascist. But bizarrely, if you look up dictator Raul Castro (who oppressed Cuba after his brother Fidel died) there’s “not one mention of the term authoritarian,” points out @ashleyrindsberg. More examples of Wiki bias here:

Not much bigger than a prison cell. 🙁😩 But the rent is cheap.

Many legislative reform solutions have been attempted. But, have you noticed that not one of them has eliminated or reduced HOA problems? In fact, legislation often creates new HOA problems. Perhaps legislators are not truly committed to regulating HOAs? independentamericancommuniti…

The ultimate solution to HOA problems, in my view, is gradually eliminating and replacing HOAs with independent ownership in traditional neighborhoods. independentamericancommuniti…
