Inflation is the biggest tax on the middle class and poor, its also the most effective one because they dont realize its happening.

There is no badge for not hiring people. Its better to hire someone and treat them better than another employer than pretend like you are virtuous and not "profiting from their labor".

Why would anyone care what Bolton has to say? If we listened to him we would probably be in the middle of WW3 right now.

Why should the US have any involvement with a conflict in the middle of africa?

Mods are paid in power and the ability to push their opinions. If there are people willing to do it for free then they dont need to pay anyone.

You said its that they want to fight for their freedom so we should help them. Turns out a large portion of them are forced to fight, they dont want to. How are you okay with giving money to a country so they can fight a war with war slaves?

From what I have heard it is actually really hard to do, and only a few countries have the capabilities and equipment.

I think its good to keep working, but only doing the things that you actually enjoy or have value outside of a paycheck. When I "retired" I found it kind of hollow and it was not all it was supposed to be.
