Charlie Kirk Quotes

|

While I don’t agree with everything the late Charlie Kirk said – he is simply wrong on climate change and kind of a bigot when it comes to diversity and letting people live their lives as they choose straight or otherwise – he was a tireless advocate for both the first and second and second amendment – and I have a lot of respect for that.

“Keep America free…. You should be allowed to say outrageous things. There’s ugly speech. There’s gross speech. There’s evil speech. And all of it’s protected by the First Amendment.”

“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. ”

I do think both rights are in danger and we need more tireless young adult advocates for them like the late Kirk.

Bitching about the cost of everything but not caring about dropping more than $4k on my eye surgery 👀

|

Money is an odd thing in my mind. Somethings that are in absolute price are cheap seem very expensive while other things in absolute price are expensive but seem cheap.

Maybe it’s because I have the money but when I look at the numbers it seems like LASIK is such a non brainer compared to the cost and pain contact lens are. A permanent fix rather than just kicking the can down the road.

And the thing in $4k is penny change compared to the price of land or building an off-grid homestead without vinyl siding and asphalt shingles. Or even a new truck to replace now old Big Red. And fixing my vision will last a lot longer too.
