Has the fed considered increasing federal wage to keep up with cost of living from the past 50 years? Maybe increasing taxes on ultra wealthy or even a wealth tax to pay for third places that use to exist?

I know what you're thinking: but how will they afford their seventh yacht for their fourth vacation home?

I don't think you should move to a different country, as citizenship may not be easy nor cheap. It sounds like you are from the US? Southern Oregon, Northern California, Eastern Oregon or Eastern Washington are all good options for cheaper coast of living. I've heard of some dorm type living in Seattle, SF too probably. You should not move without a place to move to though and look for jobs in the area you want to move that you can get quickly (grocery/fast food/warehouse) or if possibly have a job ready when you get there. You might look into getting roommates as it would be cheaper than living on your own. Some people will rent out just a room pretty cheap, and set restrictions for when you can use the kitchen. You can do a lot with a toaster oven, microwave, and mini fridge though, space depending. Aside from that, plan your route and pack. If you are driving have places to stay (camp grounds are sometimes free or cheap, national or state forests especially). Plan where you can get showers and do laundry (either hotels, gyms, sometimes camp grounds, sometimes truck stops have showers, laundromats). Have some sort of plan and map where you can stop. There might be apps for people who van or car camp that might be useful.

I had an engineering teacher who insisted that it was the best model for economics. He was a great engineering teacher. He said he minored in economics. He was a teacher who had to go on strike because the board of the school all voted to give themselves raises and cut the number of teachers and give no one else raises while raising tuition. You can't fix brainwashing when it's that deep.

I hope they get a hefty settlement. I really hope it comes from the police budget.

In defense of Israel, they will stop all construction in Israel if any body/bones are found and it will be an archeological site for a while construction is halted. The response was to essentially destroy the ground during construction so nothing is found. The whole area has lots of history, most just don't care. Nothing personal or special about Gaza.

It also use to be financially out of reach for most people. You can still pay for the nicer experience by paying for faster and easier security and first class seats. It's been made access to more financial groups, and most people choose or can only afford the cheaper option.

The worst is that insurance companies "cover" things and that's all they can say before anything is done. After, when billed, they can say "we cover 5% of the final bill. See? We covered it." And we have no idea how much we will need to pay for standard necessary procedures.

I think this is the more important reason why it failed. Not necessarily either of the titled subjects, but the fact that there are multiple unrelated.
