Not necessarily better wages but a much different lifestyle.  No rush and hustle and bustle.     They do not live in big houses for the most part.  And if they have a cabin in the woods it’s a real cabin.   Not as many ways to waste their earnings also.   No sleds for the most part.  No ATVs   It mountain bikes and skis       

Those guys are gang related, defiantly not poor. They run all major intersections in city. They use money for weapons, drugs etc. Offer them a sandwich and see what happens 😂. 

Yep. I see it every where that if you want to save $10000 per year, all you have to save is $27/day.     I was at a stop light yesterday and the guy begging for handouts was talking on his cell phone....lol   Look at what stores are in all the new strip malls. 75% fast food.  

Long shot that needs to be explored for sure. It'll be a long time coming at a competitive level if ever. Research and development I'm afraid will eat up any potential for it to be competitive any time soon.  EV's themselves have a long way to go before they are ever more than a grocery getter. But, better to have light at the end of the tunnel than not.

Home depot yesterday.  Purchased 3 pcs of non vented soffit, 3 2x4's and 4 interior use electrical boxes with switches/plugs. $167 Even basic home maintenance costs are getting out of hand. If I had to hire the corresponding contractors at a minimum of $100 per hour plus service call/consultation fee's it would easily be $1000. And that is a conservative estimate. Our kids dont stand a chance if they dont have family that can afford to invest in their futures.
