Y’all need to be sure and keep this discussion on the “light” side, because if it starts to delving into real issues and heads to the deep end of the pool, it will be shut down. Substantial discussions seem to be taboo on here now.
I made the call for a propane fill up of 1000 gallon tank yesterday...It was already nearly full but I'm having it topped off just in case.
I laugh because most folks these days do not understand that there is no such thing as free money.
Just what do folks think is going to happen when you shut the country down for a year, pay people more to not work than they made working, hand out billions to most everyone in the country, including the pork and fat of the personal interest of those in washington on the hill passing these "relief bills".
The nations money supply in circulation has doubled since Feb 2021, people still will not go back to work, renters still do not have to pay rent and can not be evicted, gas is at $3 a gallon, lumber prices and other commodities are through the
roof seeing upwards of 300% increase in retail pricing in a year.
I could go on, but whats the point, only comfort I take is that the left is going to get hosed just as bad as the rest of us. They voted for this ****, they can wade through it like everyone else.

My IRA is averaging 19% this a year, down from last year at 24% and trumps first year of 36% but its still great interest for an S&P 500 index fund
exactly..... and our national debt ratio to gdp was much different then. i like to think of all of this money printing as just an easy tax on americas wealth. i read a post from a cattleman in south america that just sold his calves for 1.30 per pound live weight. i thought it extremely interesting that his price per kilogram was quoted and paid for in US dollars.
I’m on a fixed budget, so I’m sure it will take some creativity to make it. All you have to do is watch the prices at the pump. In the last 10 years now (may be more), the magic price for gas is $3/gallon. This seems to be the middle ground for everyone and everything. $3 is not astronomically high for us commuters, yet not so much that it makes everything we buy besides gas, go through the roof and we can still afford them, while still being high enough that the CEOs and other rich folks are still making a profit and won’t gouge us too hard.
And another transportation interruption.
Got $20?
It ran 40 years ago. Needs new gas line and pull rope. Probably carb clean and gaskets.
Those Starboard thrusters were in overdrive!
