• Kellee Speakman, a conservative elementary school teacher, moved from California to Texas in 2022 but returned after four and a half months due to Texas’s political obsession and unexpected living costs.
  • Speakman found Texas to be not much cheaper than California, with high property taxes, expensive services, and lower wages, which contributed to her dissatisfaction.
  • She returned to California, appreciating its lifestyle, public lands, and better teacher benefits, realizing that her idea of freedom involved peace and everyday adventures rather than political rhetoric.

    About when the left started going after kids, or at least the perception of that.

    Quickest way to make someone hostile is to threaten their kids

      Yeah, giving kids free lunches in schools is just awful.

      And what’s all this resistance to dropping the age restrictions on kids working? If little Johnny wants to work a 14hr shift down in the salt mine, we shouldn’t stand in their way.

      Why does the left do these things?

        Not exactly a lot of conservatives for that shit. There’s a lot of public outcry for puberty blockers however.

        And remember, it’s all about perception

          You seem to have a weird fascination with kids genitals.
