    a decades long torrent of US taxpayer money will flow to every Trump affiliated contractor imaginable to rebuild all that infrastructure and lost equipment. And a tiny trickle will flow toward treating the wounded. But we’ll be paying for this for a long, long time.

    Good thing ramen is delicious. How do you guys like to doctor your ramen cheaply? I know about the red pepper packets from pizza places.

      This right here, I am trying to feed ten in my home and I can easily spend $2,000 a month if I am not careful. Needless to say I can afford about $0 right now with mortgage and bills. Looks like we will be eating ramen.

          Thank you. I love my family and I wish I made like $80 an hour. We all have to live within our means, it is just inflation has made everything so much more more expensive. I also didn’t buy a home until three years ago so I am late to the game with a 6% mortgage.

          I can totally see why some people struggle and even fail through no fault of their own. If I came down with something awful like cancer it would probably cost my family everything. That is what I think is wrong.
