And another thing that would create HAVOC.

Recently, the 0bama administration has been attempting to prohibit Employers from asking applicants about their prior Felonies or convictions. They claim that it is both a “stigma” and basically “Racist” since many of the applicants are minorities.

Imagine what would happen if 0bama extended these prohibitions to Gun Sellers?

No background checks to legally buy a gun?

I understand that this would be a complete reversal of the stated goals of 0bama and the Democrats. However.

Just consider the political circus that would ensue.

The NRA would likely reject the idea while there are other Gun rights group that are already in favor of this (no background checks).

The NRA and many many others would get painted as Racist, while the so-called “Progressive” would fall in line in order to avoid being called a Racist.

So we get Felons buying guns legally and these “Minorities” will feel as though they have been given the “Green Light” to use them.

As long as we are the world’s reserve currency, we can just print dollars, and make the rest of the world suffer too.

One day, the dollar will collapse, and no longer be the world’s currency. Then we’ll need wheel barrels of dollars to buy a loaf of bread. Inflation has already eaten into incomes, but runaway inflation could be around the corner.

Stock up the pantry now, so you can bake your own, plant a garden to grow your own. Gonna be real handy in the future. JMHO

The British Sterling used to be the reserve currency of the world. Collapsed overnight. US dollars stepped up to take its place. What country is strong now? What will replace the US dollar? Remains to be seen.

I recall a statement made on CNBC in 2009, the US dollar is in bad shape (stinks), except when compared to all the other currencies. When the 2008 crisis hit, money was running out of the Treasuries, and they were yielding a negative return. Within a couple of days, the reality that this was a Global problem hit, and the money flowed back in.

If you live in a state that has property taxes, you need to put back money to pay them (mortgage too if you have one). If you buy silver dollars in the same amount as your property taxes, each year, theoretically, they would increase in value enough to pay inflated Property Taxes.

Inflation is a stealth tax. Government does it all the time, because voters would revolt if the legislatures raised taxes to that equivalent level. The more inflation happens in necessities like food, the less dollars people have for other stuff-this means less demand and creates downward economy/jobs.

I’m looking forward to some of the surplus lobster and T bones on sale because the cards are down.

God forbid they might have to use some of their hair and fingernail money for food.

The solution for smarter store owners is a store design where a section can be walled off, separating EBT and other shoppers. When Dems create a funding crisis, the EBT section can be rioted, while only valid creditors or cash can access the main store.

This says that in a future crisis, the EBT stores may go down looted, while credit only stores would allow access.

The date of the “Riot time” EBT failure was 10/12/13. At the time I thought it a textbook trial run for causing unrest.

I can’t even afford hamburger and chicken, unless it’s on sale. I even cut my own hair. I trim my nails at home and don’t even paint them, can’t afford the polish.

So unless lobster and T bones get below the cost of pork and chicken, I won’t be getting any of those either.

Speaking of bones, we used to be able to make a good cheap meal out of chicken wings, necks, and backs and soup bones. These things are either not available or as expensive as a good beef roast(without bones of course).

Beef Bone Broth is very nutritious, but beef bones are practically non-exist these days.

Just look at Healthcare.<

Yes, I totally agree.

Where are the riots? A few years ago in GA there was a glitch with ebt and women were on the steps of the welfare office with news crews present the morning that their cards didn’t work.

Now I know why two guys I passed standing outside a drive thru pharmacy were looking me over so careful yesterday. As I came up I heard part of a conversation apparently referring to me...they both were eyeballing me...something like “...no, I can tell by the way he walks...” well I walked on by. Half a block later I hear running footsteps behind me, I whipped around and they both put on the brakes, then elaborately looked at traffic like they’d run right up my butt because that was their favorite place to cross the street...I’m built like a cave troll btw...I want to look more like Riddick with a ZZTop beard b4 the holidays...hope springs eternal

I have one of their track phones right here...the guy hit the brakes so hard I guess it dropped out of his pocket...”Mom” has been buzzing all day...poor soul. He can only afford a track phone, he’s out.of minutes, he has unlimited texts...a druggie with no money and yet there’s three girlfriends on here...one must be special because it says “Cara Mia” instead of her name...

I haven’t thrown it away yet because I have this nasty idea of texting all of them and saying something like “I’m making a change in my life abd I think Trump will save the country...if you don’t vote for him I never want to see you again!!!” ;)

That would be evil. Do it.

The Police might be interested in reviewing his texts and messages in an effort to return the phone to him...
