    Wrong. If I invest my time in my kids, I'm not looking for profit I'm looking for their betterment. If I invest my heart into my marriage, I'm looking to better our relatinship.

     

    But thanks for the 99% opinion Mr. Main Character. lol

     

    Exactly. But trust him, he speaks for the 99%. He knows. He's Einstein LOL

     

     

     

    He was literally speaking of finances.  You've completely jumped into the bushes.

    Ok this is my NYSEG bill in Niagara County  , Same usage 4/24 and 4/25 ,    $263  4/24 ,   $437  4/25

     

    4/24 Gas supply $.29 per unit  ,   4/25  $.61 per unit

     

    4/24 Elec supply  $.065 per KWH   4/25  $.12 per KWH

     

    cost of natural gas supply doubled causing electric supply to double (approx)

     

    Natural gas runs most electric supply plants.  You can shop for different suppliers at fixed or variable price thru ESCO , but delivery company stays the same , for me NYSEG  . This is just my bill as an example , your supply and delivery costs can be a lot different. I use NYSEG variable cost  electric and natural gas supplies.

     

    AI Overview

    In 2023, natural gas accounted for 43% of electricity generation in the United States. This makes it the single-largest source of energy used for electricity generation in the country.

    The same ai overview from Google would show a steep decline in lng spot prices from 2022 to 2023, and another decline in 2024, with a moderate recovery into 2025.  LNG prices have remained nearly flat for a couple years.

    Ok, that is wildly overboard and absolutely insane.

    The flu is a virus and masks were known to protect against transmission prior to COVID.

    if u were a doc around influenza patients, would you wear one?

    No big deal, right?

    Are these hospitalized because of covid, or they were hospitalized and happened to have covid?  There is a difference.  I suspect you know that though.

    That clip doesn't say that there'd be no property taxes.  It implies there'd be a big shift in how property taxes on single unit residential dwellings are calculated moving towards something like what CA had (still has?) where property tax rates can't increase beyond what they were when the property was purchased/the revised property tax law was enacted.  So the current owner gets a set in stone tax rate and the eventual buyer would get hit with a significantly higher rate when ownership transfers.  Counterintutively, that change actually seems to have been a big catalyst for CA's taxes in general to start skyrocketing.

     

    Were they to try to go to a system with no income tax AND no property tax as suggested by the tweeter's take on the proposal would have 1 question.  Just how high are the sales taxes, car registration fees, motel taxes, and business registration fees going to go up to?

    And the only possible answer would be yes.

    I’ll assume you meant “don’t”. 
    I’m not sure I agree with your “majority” statement since it’s been about 70 years since we took the lead in the world and there are very few people alive in America right now who were around when we weren’t massively influential. 
    I’m not a rest on the laurels type so I prefer leadership. I can see your point though, you live in God’s country…it’s peaceful out there…till it’s not. We either make a continual sacrifice of leadership or we make a huge one down the road. I’m good NOT passing it to my grandkids. 

    Indeed I did.  It is most peaceful here.

    Congratulations if you had ‘before training camp’ on your bingo card?  

    Hahaahahahaha.  Who could have predicted such a travesty?

    The science began with the first pandemic and each subsequent one including the plague and the flu epidemic that also killed millions.  We eventually developed very effective strategies against both.  Masks and vaccines and isolation worked for those at least to a useful degree.  Public health policy adapted and followed suit.  The fact that some previously used measures didn't work as well on a novel, highly pathogenic virus is not surprising.  The fact that so many people still refuse to believe that some of them worked very well isn't surprising either.

    Say it with me, the people who initially told you masks work later told you masks did not work.  The fact that some people don't believe that is also not surprising.  All it did was destroy the future for our children and grandchildren.

    Govern? No...   Lead?  Yes....

     

    Shame on your for living under the umbrella of leadership and sacrifice your entire life and not understanding that our standard depends on a world order led by the United States.  Freedom and morality from the US has led the world since we figured ourselves out in the Civil War and we have all benefitted.  To allow Russia its atrocities unchecked is a failure and also a great shame.  

     

    If we rest on our fatted laurels long enough then we are neither the big kid nor are we the scrappy little fak able to defend himself.   We become the little piggy, which is what they all want.  Wake up.  

     

    Who is @amuse?  Your first tag with all of the info?  

    Donate to the cause, I'm good over here with the growing majority of Americans who do believe we need to lead anybody.

    I've probably said it in this thread once or maybe twice, but student loans have been the boulder tied to my ankle since my twenties.  I went to a state school so mine weren't terrible, 40,000 when all said and done.  My wife went to Nazareth for Music Therapy.   Close to 170,000k for her degree.   We got married with 210,000k in student loans.  We are down to 40,000k but I am in my forties.   We are blessed that I have a great job.  But by the time I am done paying for our educations, it will be time for my kids to go to college.  

    I hear you man.  My wife and I, thankfully, got out with only 60k in student loans.  My sister on the other hand, 140k, and she will be in debt for most of her life as a result.

    What does MAGA have to do with the Pakistani’s and Indians hating each other since the beginning of time?


    Another brainiac here.


    This has absolutely nothing to do with Trump, Biden, Clinton, Obama, the Bush’s, Reagan…. whoever.

     

    You do realize these countries have hated each other forever, right?

    You realize that you are speaking to neo-cons right?  They believe the job of the US is to rule the world.

    You either support Ukraine or you support Russia in this matter.  It is a clear time because bullets are flying and people are dying.  Russia continues to attack Ukranian civilians at will and to disregard basics of the Geneva Conventions.  Russia's leaders commit human rights violations daily at home and now they commit war crimes abroad, align themselves with the worst dictatorships in the world, and people like you want to defend them.  It is astounding.  

     

    The US has abdicated a leadership role in this matter because Putin knows just how to settle Donald, stroke his ego.  If something good comes of this it is that since we have seemingly abandoned the Ukranian situation, they are picking up their own slack.  We'll see how bad the crying gets when they start to act independently because they know we are incapable of serious foreign policy relations at this time.  

     

     We can agree to disagree here. 

    It is not the responsibility of the US to govern the world.  Shame on you for assuming that it is.
