Boy are my two sisters out of touch
Advertisements [?]
They are still living the american dream . My younger sister of 56 called me today since I just rolled another year older today .

She talked , did all the talking about how since they moved from nothern FL to SC how they are now hiking and walking , and how I should do it too . Since she called me on my Birthday I was not about to say anything even though the resent photo's she sent me of her and my older sister show they are both no less than 70 pounds over weight , all i said was I am 5' 10 and weigh 160 pounds .

My point is even though they have their 401 K's and savings and a house and medical that just one physical issue crops up they would be drained as most people find out these days . Insurance tops out and then try to get a new policy .

The other main point is they would be able to live in a fascist state and not even see the difference , the only okes who would would be the people who fight for the rights being stripped away for us or the ones who dissent like liberals , we would be the first ones carted off to some camp if not shot resisting first which is where i would fit in .

I don't talk politics with them , there is no point , they just don't see the reality of what's happening .

I hope they can continue to live their american dream , she wants to live to over 100 . I'm sure there are many people out there who will continue to live the american dream , all you have to do is play along and keep quiet and your fine and of course ignore the horrors of the world we now live in if one can , I can't .
