We have POWER here. Its not illegal (yet) to save money under the mattress...
Pass go ............... ;)
LOL!
*whew*
Find them ... I’ll post ‘em.
I fear this is what our country has come to, and that this may really be what most people want. If it is, this country will never survive hard times.
Please add me to the ping list.
Just ordered the book today.
You’ve both been added to the Atlas Shrugged ping list.
John Galt was even in Fort Worth Texas today...protesting Obama! His sign said:...”I Am John Galt”!
We have cows folks...and we know how to use them....lol
You want to pay for the air you breathe or the farts of the cows you eat?
Most of us in Cowtown say: WTF?
>> Now they are distracted.
Quite possibly true.
Did Ayn Rand have prophetic abilities
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
She was not a prophetess. She had the sad experience of living it. She was, after all, a refugee of Soviet tyranny.
She was ( and continues to be ) like the watchman on the tower issuing a warning.
When someone takes my value without my consent, and gives me little or nothing in return, it is theft.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Slavery! It is slavery to take a person’s value and give little or nothing in return.
We can take far more out of our spending than the leeches can ever put in. Biting the hand that feeds them requires negative reinforcement. If we don’t follow through, then we’re the chumps they think us to be.
Well, at least the ones that CAN read and you got a deal
How about highly recommend reading the book?
Nothing wrong with that. And it is a good book.
My first big personal boycott was in the 1990’sm to boycott the left wing bookstore companies - local stores and their online sites. This came about when there was an obvious and clear intent by these left wing book stores not to carry, Rush’s books, Sowell’s books and any other conservative book.
Next, we discontinued our local tv cable system and going to DISH during the 2000 elections. The Dish installer blocked every CNN station on our new satellite system in 2000, and they are still blocked.
Then, whenever any company used the Dixie Chick marketing startegies, blaming everything on GW and us, I/we stopped using their product service.
Then, we basically pulled the plug on any pseudo news from ABCNNBCBS and cancelled our subscription the vile San Francisco Gay Rhonicle. We had previously cancelled subscriptions to Time/Slime and Newsweak during the Reagan years for their outrageous attacks on this great president.
Next, we stopped going into Gay Frisco for the Best of Broadway. Many of the plays were changed to push the gay agenda and put down our side with little vile remarks inserted into the plays.
Next, we replaced our Detroit vehicles with a non Union Lexus and Honda Ridgeline.
We have zero non union grocery supermarkets in our area. So we cherry pick for the best buys and good specials on the products we use. A Mexican/American friend has a great restaurant and has opened a seafood and butcher shop next door to his restaurant. For about two years, he has special ordered the seafood/meats for birthdays, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas for us. His prices are very competitive and the seafood/meats are excellent. At my wife’s suggestions, he has added several consumable products which we and others buy and avoid a union grocery store.
When the farmers markets open, I shop and buy most of our produce from May to November.
We buy a lot of things from Walmart. Most of the time inspite of the pro union propaganda anti Walmart BS on FR, it is very easy not buy products made in China. We save a ton of money on American made over the counter health products and so called beauty products. My wife is an office nurse and phones in RXes for Generics at tremendous savings for her patients and often us.
We see maybe one movie a year, and we would have to be forced at gun point, to see a Follywood Oscar winner like Milk. We just saw Grand Torino, an excellent non PC movie.
We can boycott the corporations funding the repeal of Prop 8. There are many corporations funding the repeal of Prop 8. This link takes us right to the corporate sponsor page to repel Prop 8:

Boycotts can work for our side too!
"This is VERY important. Think of those post-tax dollars. You need to earn roughly $1.40 to have a post tax" dollar. This thing is valuable. Why spend it to prop up a socialist economy? Keep it in an FDIC insured account, gold coins, real estate (at these cheap prices) or other tangibles. And... NEVER, NEVER, NEVER give it to a liberal employee, business or cause. They want your money. Don't be a serf."
For those of us who own their own businesses or work as independent contractors, they/we get to keep a little over 40 cents of each hard earned $.
please add me as well... if I’m not already on it!
“I fear this is what our country has come to, and that this may really be what most people want. If it is, this country will never survive hard times.”
It’s a K-wave Winter Cycle. How did our Grandparents learn frugality and steeliness during hard times? They lived through the FDR Depression, that’s how. It WAS the hard times that taught them.
NOW? The Obama/Pelosi/Reid (OPR) Depression will teach new values to a new turning of the generations. They’ll learn.
It’s the Year of Jubilee. Since we won’t do it God’s way; He’ll do it OUR way. Are you prepared?
I stopped working overtime this year. I love it! I never understood how important my time was until I stopped trading it for “stuff”.
