“Moderate Democratic Reps. Jared Golden of Maine and Kurt Schrader of Oregon were the only two lawmakers to cross party lines. That sharp partisan divide is making the fight a showdown over who voters will reward for heaping more federal spending to combat the coronavirus and revive the economy atop the $4 trillion approved last year.”
Our children and grand children will curse them for eternity.
Where in the constitution does it give the federal government the power to set a minimum wage?
“The House COVID-19 bill includes the minimum wage increase...”
From the bill itself:
“This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021’’”
Thus it never was just a pandemic relief bill. Our deceivers continue to deceive us.

House passes $1.9T blue state bail out bill on near party-line vote.
Fact check completed
I want my CHECK!
Chinese motor scooter or hookers & blow?
And its all FREE!
Greatest legalized theft in American history, if not world history. Money stolen from the present and future generations of Americans. Will never be reclaimed.
Don’t worry.... the rich will pay for it. /s

Indians, Mexicans and all the other foreign trash labor stealing American jobs should be the ones to pay.
They left this part off.
"And if we go without you we're gonna get in your face and we're gonna burn down the cities and find you wherever you are and show you our righteous anger for six hundred years of slavery. We gonna burn your house down with you in it and then we gonna go after the interlopers and diamond merchants and show them what. We'll burn this whole country to the ground if we have to to get justice so there can finally be peace and equity! We're gonna get you, you honkies!"
“The big question is how do we personally protect ourselves from the collapse?”
We talk about this a lot here, between the Prepper posts and the Financial/PM posts.
I live a pretty bare bones life. Not much more to ratchet down, but there are always ways to prepare yourself for the worst.
“According to Lombardi Letter, there are five signs that an economic collapse is about to happen. They are:
Growing government debt: when an economy slows, the government usually steps in to help stimulate spending again, but with high debt, the government might not be able to make that injection.
Stock markets trading at all-time highs: investors are taking more risk on the market, markets continue to trade higher meaning investments are bull-market driven and not research-based which could lead to a stock market bubble.
Unemployment rate: eligible worker, retirement, and student rates all identify trends in people not contributing to the economy and could slow down economic growth
Unstable government: this boils down to the leader and government team in the decisions and actions that may affect the economy in various ways
Rising national debt: this means less consumer spending in the economy and more money spent on paying a debt.”

“How can you prepare for an economic collapse?
Learn simple economics so you can identify early warning signs.
Cash is king.
Start building an emergency cash fund.
Start being more frugal with your monthly bills.
Generate an additional (collapse-proof) form of income.
Get out of debt.
Make sure your passport is current.
Start/Continue Prepping.
Use Websites and Apps now (while you can).
Expand your skills.”
Diana here: I will add, learn to grow some of your own food, especially veggies and fruits that are expensive in the grocery store and/or have the highest nutritional bang for your buck. (Kale, Sweet Potatoes, Spinach, Broccoli, Beets, Winter Squash!)
Also, see my Tag line. Your ‘Hobbies’ need to be something that benefits you and yours. Gardening, car maintenance, home maintenance, building skills, welding, hunting, fishing, baking & cooking from scratch, raise small animals (chickens, goats, a pig) for food, sewing, knitting or crochet.
You know, all of those ‘things’ our Great/Grandparents did in the course of their every day life? ;)
There is an irony here that we miss.
When you pump fiat currency into a system you weaken an economy and debase that currency.
When inflation inevitably occurs, the poor are hurt the worst and they are impacted the soonest.
We cannot and must not “blame the poor”. Our government encourages them to come here through a lack of enforcement and incentives. Big business uses them to maximize profit. Many on the left believe the “poor” are guaranteed votes.
It is a system of being “used”.
History is quite clear that the worst ravages of an impoverished nation fall squarely on the heads of those they claim to “champion”. Look no further than Venezuela.
I have NEVER heard of the Senate Parliamentarian having ANY SAY SO IN A BILL BEFORE!!
Mad maxine KNOWS that NO ONE wants to get close enough to her to get in her FUGLY FACE!
The republic has quietly been replaced with a corrupt democracy. The 51% are coming for the 49. Hard times ahead. Pray for a miracle
Because it wasn’t brought up.

Good advice, assuming everyone is a homeowner. Not good advice for renters, especially those stuck living in apartments.

I most definitely blame the government and this racist foreign trash coming here to take American jobs. Mexicans for lack of enforcement and Indians due to incentives.
Question is, what do true blue Americans without a chance a job do, once your job is gone and your career field is over run and dominated by foreigners?
100% this!
President Trump told them exactly what they needed to do to win and their response was “no thanks!”
Got that covered. I was going to post this as a separate post. :)

Yeah already doing most of the things in the offgridworld guide here in the Philippines. Having a few typhoons per year absolutely require it.

Lots of canned goods in storage and at least 50 kg rice at all times.
