I appreciate you being polite about this stuff. I hesitated to write
this note in the first place expecting nasty arguments. Just take from
it that my sources of information are different from yours and it's hard
to say which is right or if the correct answer lays between somewhere.

AT>How do you see Trump favoring the rich?

It was just reported that he has promissed big tax cuts to the rich
and that he expected to use the tariffs to pay for it.

AT>The prices on homes in Ontario are outrageous.

I Absolutely agree with that. It's ridiculous and went wild during
the early Covid years. I don't know what people will do if they
don't already own a house, how young people could buy their first
house. That said, I had to work 3 jobs when I bought my first house
at age 21 and my bank said my income would have to be triple what it
was to qualify for the mortgage, so I went to a mortgage broker and
paid a higher insterest rate.. and never missed a payment.

But prices can't stay this high or wages will catch up to match.
I bought my first place on a high too and, although prices didn't
drop, they didn't go up any more for the next 8 or so years either
so the incomes eventually caught up with the costs.

My thinking may be a bit warped there since my experience and friends
whose situation I'm aware of are seniors, and you probably saw my
reply about gov't support for them in my other messages on here.

That said, with healthcare and dental being mostly paid for for any
low income person it makes a big difference. Amounts of welfare for
those not working are all over the place depending on things, and
I haven't heard numbers in years but it was always far lower for
single males than anyone else. Ages back, maybe  20 years ago, I
heard people complaining that a single mother with a child with
the subsidies she got was living the same as a working person making
$50,000 a year, and money went a lot further back then.

That's interesting.. and things these days are screwed up in one place
or another. My niece is a teacher in younger grades, K to 3, and she's
been punched and hit with objects by 'problem' kids and the school
system does nothing about it other than tell her she CAN NOT ever grab
a kid to stop them. For a while one principal had removed all books
from the school library that had white people in them. I had to ask
her twice to clarify that, and that's correct. They only had books
there that had minority characters in them. Fortunately the next
principal a couple of years later backed off on that.

And I think I mentioned that they tell all these young kids about
sex and gay/trans couples but they don't talk about heterosexual
couples at all. I sure hope the pendulum swings back a ways in the
coming years, either that or I can just be happy I'm too old for
most of this stuff to effect my life, at least for long..   B)
