I'll try to keep is as short as possible. I love children, I wanted children and I'd still love to have my own children. Abortion is very personal, it's an assault not only on babies but on me personally. It's strictly forbidding by me for moral and personal reasons. Yet I find out that MY TAX DOLLARS are being used to FUND planed parent hood? I want this to STOP YESTERDAY! I can't stop abortion though I wish I could. If you support it, then you should pay for it too out of your own pocket, NOT MINE!

I'm also including a link if you care and would like to see it stopped.

Poll Question: Do you approve of your tax dollars funding abortion?

I'm in the U. S. Throughout my life, it has never surprised me to look at any particular item and see the words "made in China" on it. It's just so commonplace that any particular commodity purchased in the U. S. is made abroad, especially China.

A lot of manufacturing and other jobs used to exist here in the U. S. But ever since WW2, and especially throughout the 70s & 80s, a lot of them shutdown and moved to China in order to avoid minimum wage, employee benefits, OSHA / safe workplace laws, etc (the 90s & early 2000s saw technology jobs go to India for the same reasons). True, the price on the items dropped. But the economy went down with it as people were laid-off, and the value of the dollar dropped because America became dependent on other countries to provide goods.

Late last year, Trump started a "trade war" with China. In theory, it should be working in the favor of the U. S. The reality: businesses here in the U. S. are suffering from all of the extra taxes related to Chinese imports. Why are they importing from China? Because they either can't find the items anywhere else, or not at as low of a price. Most people have not felt the impact of this "trade war" yet because businesses are being forced to accept profit losses or are resorting to other measures to keep costs down in order to keep a customer base. For just about every business, especially mom-and-pop local ones, this trade war has been catastrophic to their finances (and ostensibly, their employees). But if our manufacturing jobs hadn't been sent overseas in the first place, this might not have the negative impact that it does.

Would you pay more to buy goods that are 100% made in your own country? How much more would you pay? Why?

My mom makes $50 a day tutoring and I have her some options that were online for tutors and teachers to make more money but ever since I got a job she’s been asking me are you going to get this for me since you’re making money? And she wrote out an entire plan for me to pay $103 dollars monthly for rent for her knowing I’m saving up to move out and for my business I’m starting online. I’m making $939 biweekly minus taxes it’s like 600-700 I’ll get in the bank. And I feel like she’s doing this just because I make more than her now. Ever since I got a job she’s been asking if I’m going to by stuff for her in a joking way but I know she’s serious. I have bank bills, phone bills, taxes, and other monthly bills.

She says she’s doing this to teach me how to pay off rent when I’m on my own but I feel like she’s doing it because I make more than her. Even when I was talking to her about me getting a house she’s like “are you going to let me move in?” Here I’m trying to get my self to be independent from her but now she wants to be dependent on me.

I believe there won't be. I think it occurred because of the liberals had a tantrum that they lost the presidential election; like a bunch of children. What a waste of tax dollars, and you can already imagine how npCNN and MSNpC will try to spin this since they were saying how "the walls are are closing in on Trump". Absolutely hysterical! How it was released on Friday evening is also telling. Get ready for the liberal meltdown and Orange Man Bad 2.0 commencing soon.

In some countries (E. g. Norway) it's mandatory to use the seat belt in both buses and cars. If you don't use them, you may get fined. Please explain Why you thinks so. #Law #Justice #SeatBelt

My Opinion:
I think people should use seat belts and especially in cars, but I don't think it's possible to enforce the law properly when it comes to buses. Why I think it's okay having a law when it comes to cars, but not buses is because of it's pointless to fine people more than 200$ when the buses are full and there's not enough seats available. The bus companies here doesn't have enough seats in the buses or enough available buses, so when many people at the same time wants to take the bus, some people have to stand. Off course people could wait for the next bus, but there may take 30 minutes to several hours before the next bus comes.

The government complains about not enough people taking the bus or other public transport, that too many people drives their own cars and that people are polluting a lot. They even wants to make driving people pay several hundred dollars sometimes for using the roads because fixing the roads and the pollution problems are problematic. Yet they can't solve the problem of my country having too few buses so there's not enough seats for everyone and the prices are also more expensive nowadays than earlier on. In the past a bus ticket cost ca. 2$, but nowadays it costs ca. 5$ - 6,5$ per person. Yet they can't afford "giving" people more buses.

So:
1. People gets fined ca. 200$ for not using the seat belts
2. There's not enough seats or buses available. People won't wait more than an hour for the next bus
3. The government complains about too many people driving cars
4. The road pricing and pollution taxes are expensive, so many can't afford driving either
5. A bus ticket cost 5 - 6,5$ per person, yet the buses can't afford more seats
6. It's expensive to have polices controlling the buses
