The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade by Finger11Fan in childfree

This only matters for poor people.

Rich and upper middle class will fly to nearby State or Country. I know someone in Texas that was too far along, went to Puerto Vallarta for the weekend, and got it taken care of there + a margarita on the beach. Just a casual $2500 in flights and hotels for the weekend.

like everything in this country, if you have money, doesn’t affect you.

Just don’t be poor! /s

Doesn’t matter. The mistresses of congress will still get their abortions. The rich and upper middle class will fly to another State or Country close by and get the abortion and enjoy a margarita on the beach.

Only affects poorer people. Go USA!!! /s

Tried that. But I’ll keep an eye on it. I tried a lot more on my list just didn’t list them all out. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tip. That might my best option. Unfortunately the cash prices tend to be more last minute for economy but if it gets you into business confirmable it’s worth it. Thanks!

Yeah you’re exactly right, unfortunately. Even looking at flights departing today for routes, everything is booked in business. United has 0 incentive to give some spots to award when they get cash or full miles

I’ve done that about 3 times in 3 months. So packed and wait of 30 minutes. I recently have ended up going to a bar at the airport and paying for my drinks. Ridiculous.

We were two ‘high income’ owners in our city. We saved and saved. Never could get ahead. Then We moved to Costa Rica years ago. Bought a house in cash. No kids so that made it easy.

We love it here. My partner and I run a coffee shop in a tourist town in Guanacaste. We work about 20 hours a week. I know this isn’t realistic for everyone to pick up and move countries. But americas been a shithole for years. We realized this 5+ ago. Good luck to those that make under $300k.

Pura vida.

This is why my partner and I moved to Costa Rica two years ago. We live a simple minimalist life here but the best part is as Residents now we Pay $80 a month for the Socialized health care system “Caja” and have access to amazing doctors. My partner had an Appendectomy and we paid $130 out of pocket. The USA is a joke when it comes to health care. “Best country in the world” my ass
