Libertards are the very first ones to kick and scream anytime things don't go their way.Libertards have no plan of direction throughout life living without a spine.

However inbred gangsters as you call them use the direct approach.
Bang bang no more wasted airtime without solutions or useless noise pollution.Trumplicons know how to get the job done right the first time bang bang.

Numbeo Website and viewing Community

Im a big fan of website.

Dont just comment, promote more interest in the analytics and understanding of Cost of Living vs.Advertised wages.

This needs to be in the hands of every person seeking work and all working persons.
