We are quick to see the negative, but conservatism also maintains keeping traditions and culture. I live in the Acadian region and we continue our traditions as they preserve our culture.

Is being a conservative consider being an extremist from your viewpoint?

I posted above but recently moved back to Southern Lousiana. While I cannot trace back thousands of years I can trace back to my great-grandfather who was a shrimp boat captain in the same region I live now; I could back further if my grand

This is partially true. I recently moved back to southern Louisiana as all my family lives and is from here. One major difference I've noticed, not once have I been asked what I do for a living. No one ever talks about work or what the

I have two kids, my wife and I never sacrificed our physical health. When our first was born I was an air traffic controller, and when my second was born I transitioned into being a data scientist. During the first 4 years of fatherhood, I

Well said. Ben Carson during last election demonstrated this clearly, top in his medical field, but was not well informed on matters of politics and economics. Even though he is the head of HUD now, at least he seemed humble enough to know

Exactly! Barbershops are a unique place and great to spend an hour or an hour and half once a month chatting with everyone. Plus a proper haircut with a straight razor around the edges and neck, followed up by a cool/warm towel to clea

How do impose on taking guns away? Do you believe the majority of Americans are going to willingly turn them in?

I'm unsure. Index funds with low expense costs are my personal strategy. While I'd love to retire now (early 30s), my realistic goal is to retire at 59. The plan I have now with moderate ROI allows that - patience while staying th

Last week I literally set-up up all my automatic investing since we sold our previous home and made a profit, allowing us to become financially stable. I did 75% in a SP500 index and 25% in an intermediate bond market index. Every month I w

My personal income is in the top 5% of where I live but since my wife is a stay-at-home mother we are in the top 15% for household income. Granted next year when I move up an age bracket we move down to the top 15% for individual income and

Cities are the wrong direction, people need to move out to the country, spread out. Be out in nature, hunt, fish, gather; not just for a hike. Cities are soul-crushing.

Or be critical and dismissive since as don't need to accept this nonsense. Some changes are in the wrong direction with influencers being in that direction.

You can start by just switching your lifestyle. I'm a remote worker, who will be moving to the semi-rural south in two weeks. My wife and I plan to use our half-acre to grow our vegetables and hunt/fish for all of our meat within

I would not work at Facebook regardless of the paycheck. Granted I doubt they want a conservative veteran working for them so the feeling is mutual.

You cut them off from nothing. I'm a 34 old data scientist without a smartphone, and I'm not cut from anything, why would they?
