It's official, according to WXTK, lowest prevailing wages, highest cost of living in the Northeast, is right here, Cape and Islands,. coupled with this, and the seasonal job issues, and the decline in the RE market, well the economic forecast is not pretty for us down here...

and ya know why that is? because Americans are too damn cheap to spend money on vacation and all us yankees up here are to frugal to part with our money. I haven't done much work down the cape in a long time because they don't wanna pay, others will work cheap so they get the job. Out of staters with second homes are tightwads with their money and beat the prices down so I go west  where the money is. It sucks that the Capes' cost rise more than elsewhere. The last 20 years have changed the Cape forever and that's sad. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
