Cold War Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Who's going to Indiana? Thankfully it is just a short drive home to the abortion capital of the Country. Governor dummy answer is more gay and abortion. If young people are fleeing your State in record numbers for more conservative states, why would you think more liberal policies is the answer?

My son and his fiancé have decent jobs, work 6 days a week, and can’t break the rental cycle. They pay as much to rent a small apartment as we do for our house. Average car payment is what 600-700 a month? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve managed to ship the absolute worst RV’s ever made over the last 3 years. Absolute garbage. Worst produced product ever. The entire place should be nuked.
