“Yes, but as long as your ‘right to choose’ is threatened 4 out of 5 women could care if they pay a gazillion for groceries or their kids die of fentanyl.”
I fear you’re right. I don’t think I have been able to fully come to terms with how many women want the ability to kill their babies. The missiles might end up coming in from Russia and yet they’ll look at the sky and say, “At least I had my right to choose.”
One caveat: A lot of married women are Pro-Life. But the young selfish ones are almost uniformly Pro-Abortion and that’s a lot of votes.
Spot on post of the day! I have made a similar ‘missile comment’ to my wife on several occasions...
That’s probably the biggest reason. That Avian Flu.
When you’re a professional level egg producer, I suppose you must become used to an occasional sickness that requires you to quickly dispose of chickens by the hundreds. Incineration is probably the best way to do it. Were someone to bury a huge amount of sickened birds, that would only work to taint the soil, or spread illness via scavenger animals.
Disposal becomes an even bigger issue for pig farmers. The average consumer (me) doesn’t even think about that part.
The merchandise must be destroyed and the areas must be made clean again for the new livestock. You cannot allow yourself to love your animals too much in such a situation.
“Basically everyone that works for a living is on a fixed (decreasing ) income.”
That is true, and we’re now going into 26 months of decreasing real wages.
However, no one hears businesses and Wall Street complaining about inflation and higher prices. Businesses and Wall Street LOVE inflation and after the inflation subsides the prices never drop to pre-inflation prices, do they? The only people complaining are American citizens who need the money badly.
Or WILL reelection the thief in chief!
I'm in the same boat. Fixed income (SS). I'm out of ideas on a side hustle. There's not much demand for a 70 year old straight male gigolo. I'm out of ideas, let's leave it at that.
100%..Most everyone not on an obscenely fat government pension is pretty much getting hammered.
Isn’t it true 59% pay no income taxes?
Sorry 50%.
I think you’ve got it backwards. 59.9% of households pay income tax, 40% pay no tax.
A few years ago in response to a FOIA request I sent the IRS said it was close to 50% that paid no income tax. I would think that percentage has gone up not down.
It may be a difference between how many individuals pay income tax, versus how many households pay income tax.
I’m just going off this:
Yes, the price of eggs has gone down, AND they’re fresher, too.
The other day I eas looking at the tax revenue collected for our city. Despite inflation and joblessnes due to covid, our city has taken in MORE revenue than they planned on. That means the people in my city are double forked eith inflation, higher taxes and tax on highter prices even if the tax percentage hasn’t changed.
I looked at all tax revenue.. property, sales, tax revenue on city supplied utilities.. everything I could find. I think all Freepers should investigate their own cities. I didn’t look at countys, just my city/town. We take in billions and they have to hire people to figure out how to spend it. It’s dood that our city operates at a profit rather than a shortage, but how much profit is reasonable for a city? For a citizen operating legally.. no limits on personal profit, but cities should not be in a pisition to take advantage, either.
As a nation get we poorer every day.
I don’t trust any poll.
3 in 5. The other 2 are either in school or on the dole.
Who you gonna believe, dementia Joe, or your lying eyes? The point is, if inflation goes from 8% to 5% sure inflation is "down" but prices are up more than 13%.
1.08 x 1.05 = 1.134 or 13.4%
Or a DJ would say, it's expodential!
Let’s do the math...
Under President Trump, my 401k earned more money than I was withdrawing.
Now, that same amount of money can’t even pay the bills, and I am losing money every month, not as bad as most, but still....
