lth insurance up 19%. Now given that 60% of the country is living paycheck to paycheck, the numbers I just gave you, these are all the things that a middle-class family just has to have, right? They have to pay for gas, they have to have electricity, they have to have healthcare. And these increases for New Jersey would make it completely unlivable for the middle class. If they were already right at the edge and 60% of them could just barely get to the next paycheck, how in the world do they all handle insurance up 17%, health insurance up 19% and etc., etc., tripling of your electric costs? How in the world can they afford that? Something's getting ready to tip really hard. And I don't think it's just voting. There will certainly be some voting changes I would hope but I don't understand how New Jersey can even still be a viable state with these increases.

And the movement against it according to Thomas Sowell was not until the Quakers and some other religious groups went after it in the 18th century. So mostly white people.

Now I feel as though people are trying to win an argument based on what happened hundreds of years ago. So if you want reparations, you say those white people have been doing it for hundreds of years. And if you wanted to go the opposite direction, you'd say everybody's been doing it forever. White people were more associated with stopping it than promoting it. However, I say I don't care. I don't care what anybody, any stranger's relatives were doing hundreds of years ago. Are you telling me that I should be somehow taxed or pay some money or something for something that strangers' relatives did hundreds of years ago? I don't care whose relative
