Having been a part of this program, and spending hours this week digging into the rabbit holes, I can say this is pretty astounding. And now I know where far too many of my personal issues come from.  Take a listen, this happened to FAR too many of us.

I just watched this video and the Epic Economist is right. Life in America is getting harder fast. Prices keep going up, wages stay the same, and people are working more than ever just to get by. Groceries, rent, power bills, everything costs more.

Cities don’t feel the same either. Packages vanish, stores lock everything behind glass, and a lot of people just don’t feel safe walking around anymore. Meanwhile, the people in charge act like nothing’s wrong.

And honestly, I’m a little concerned about what 2026 is going to look like. It feels like it’s going to get really hard for a lot of people, and crime might get pretty crazy if things keep going the way they are.

I don’t know how everyone else is feeling about what happened in Washington, but something about this whole situation just feels off.  The details coming out don’t really line up, and the timing of everything makes it hard not to wonder if we’re getting the full picture. It definitely feels like there’s more going on behind the scenes than what the headlines are telling us.

I watched the video, and honestly he brings up some valid points.

Just watched a recipe for Spicy Sweet Roasted Sweet Potatoes and wow… this might be my new favorite holiday side.

You just chop the sweet potatoes, toss them with olive oil, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, and a little pepper, then roast at 425°F for 15–20 minutes. The brown sugar caramelizes and gives them those crispy edges that are so good.

Super simple, tons of flavor, and perfect with turkey or ham.
Anyone else make something like this? Or got your own favorite sweet potato twist?
