Looking for a Better America
After decades of urbanization, Americans are rebelling against the “bigger is better” mentality of city-living. Seeking a smaller, more affordable, sustainable, and secure lifestyle, some are venturing out from the mega-cities in search of a different life.
A number of techniques have become popular in an effort to save, especially scaling down the size of one’s home. Living small and saving big is even better when it’s coupled with living in a state that treats you more like a human than an ATM it can withdraw money from.

Trump Needs to Turn the Tables on Pelosi, Inc.
You have been watching as the House of Representatives, led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her team of radical Democrats, has stymied every attempt to help America recover from the COVID-19 recession.
