Just another edample like our retraining programs] - prove me wrong. BTW, just what did I state in my post that you feel is incorrect.

As for govt debt, it's been so out of line for decades that we can never pay it off and do not say raise taxes as the spending numbers have nothing do with taxation at this point otherwise we cold not have trillion+ dollars spending bills, and of course no budget.

So, what is HR1 based on???, other than one party rule, that is.

Holding some EVA which has a current 6.26% yield about wood pellets [not lumber for building], but the I am in for the yield.

By comparison [yield] - 10 Year Treasury Rate is at 1.67%

Yep, the govt throwing money at a situation has always been effective, right?

Take education: only four countries spend some more than we do per student so you would think that we'd rank at the top, BUT actually our students are nowhere near that for all the money spent.

Our govt is very ineffective: Example - there are dozens of Fed Govt retraining programs for decades and has any ever been heralded as a great success - no, and believe me they would if they could.

But, go ahead and give more for health care and the environment as well as education and see the results [or lack thereof for the money spent] in a few years down the road. Not a problem as the [not actual ''printing presses' are churning out more debt by the trillions so why not as the more the merrier - There---PROBLEMS SOLVED ; )

Good luck in finding LEOs in Portland who are willing to be complaint/dedicated to a city govt which has been anti-police for quite a while now. I am guessing that they, if not already, will be experiencing a shortage of officers who will be willing to go into harms way for their ungrateful 'bosses'.

I expect many of the 'defund the police' blue cities will [if not already] be experiencing shortages in that profession. Better know as 'you reap what you sow' [i.e. You eventually have to face up to the consequences of your actions {which dems are pretty much incapable of doing}]

Excellent ,as mellow citizens make good complacent sheep.

Be real, all you care about is that the Union 'bosses' keep donating to your party even if the rank an file do not approve.

Proof that libs are incapable of learning from their mistakes.

Louisiana: Possession of a gun in your vehicle is perfectly legal in Louisiana as the vehicle is considered an extension of your home (As it is worded in LRS 14:95.2: "Any constitutionally protected activity which cannot be regulated by the state, such as a firearm contained entirely within a motor vehicle.")

Yup. That's why choosing Alabama as the initial attempt to unionize Amazon workers was not the best of strategic decisions for the organizers.

Buy and hold longer term investor here, have been through crashes starting with Black Monday in Oct 87. Incidentally, was buying the next day as a major pullback in the market is a buying opportunity. Also took advantage of '08 and last march bought 300 shares of ABBV in the mid 70s : ) Not all is scary with the market if you have studied Economics and other business courses, applied due diligence to your research and have correct investing philosophy.

McDonalds are franchises. The employee wage is payed by a small businessman, not a corporate giant.

#5 | POSTED BY SPEAKSOFTLY AT 2021-04-05 06:42 PM | FLAG: Correct as approx 80% of McDonalds are individual franchises. Those families live off the profits. and I am aware of this because my [now deceased] uncle bought one and that was theie 'family business' and income. The increase would become a decrease of family income.

ps: It is not just 15 an hour as the employer also has to match the Social/FICA on top of that wage and health insurance costs.

FYI: Highest-income households: owe 60% of outstanding student loan debt and make about 75% of all student loan payments. Lowest-income households: owe less than 20% of outstanding student loan debt and make only of student loan payments.Oct 25, 2020

insurrection

noun
noun: insurrection; plural noun: insurrections

Thousands of people there and how much violence/destruction? Also. since these were Trump supporters, were they out to overthrow him??? Think people, do try to actually use your 'grey matter'.

So I guess there are special taxation rules applicable to lower income individuals -- good to know.

Actually this is very common among many long distance semi-drivers and has been so for many decades.

Pretty much how an authoritarian harris/biden administration works....must have learned that from China.
