      They don’t even need to be told. They buy the higher priced goods and then simply pretend they’re cheaper now

      Then there is people like my neighbor who has his naturalized and is always working, yet now all of the contracts are on hold here because I assume that many of the companies are worried their workers will get arrested even if they are here legally. I work from home right now and yesterday I just see him riding by mowing mine and the neighbors back yards because he’s bored and always wants to be doing some kind of work. I know he already cut down a tree the other day after he put a new blade on his chainsaw, he’s always working on his hobby vehicle. I’ve been stuck working late lately and can’t get outside as much so I see him out there giving scratch to my chickens and running around with them. Guy is probably 58, and has the same energy I had when I was 16.
