We're also not the bastion of freedom, that we once were. Sure, people still want to come here, but the freedom and prosperity they wish for is hard to find and elusive. Eventually, the prosperity will be gone because of our massive debt that we'll never be able to pay back.Tunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930237104692982421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-39289688905325762052021-11-21T18:22:24.022-08:002021-11-21T18:22:24.022-08:00Basically, with the first comment (if it's the...Basically, with the first comment (if it's the Harris is dumber than Biden) I'm saying, well, Harris is dumber and less lovable than Biden.<br /><br />If it's about the price of turkeys in Florida?

People that voted unthinkingly "Because" are suddenly realizing that the choice they made is not a great one - in fact it is a very bad one and, two years or ten years hence, will be revealed to be much, much worse. The CBO has currently stated our new "plan" will increase the Federal Deficit by $470 Billion. It is all fun and games until someone has to pay the bill - and the someones will be, among others, the very people that enabled this sort of thing.<br /><br />If we last that long. My fear is that we have largely become a thin mirage that will shatter into a million pieces when actually stressed.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-82158088673860312422021-11-21T14:50:19.573-08:002021-11-21T14:50:19.573-08:00That was earl in the day, before he had been fille...That was earl in the day, before he had been filled with chemical lucidity by his handlers. ;)Jim Shawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05488328277463575274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-85409308960953758872021-11-21T14:46:39.539-08:002021-11-21T14:46:39.539-08:00If I were Mr R.

Even our regional supermarket chain, Publix, has store-brand (and better than national brand) turkeys for $.49/lb, turkey breasts for $1.49/lb.<br /><br />Gas is up to Obama-Presidency levels, but hasn't gone, yet, to Califrutopian levels.<br /><br />As to the insulin thing, yeah, went from $35/month (once the out-of-pocket for meds was reached) to $55 or more.<br /><br />Your (Tuna) friend, if they qualify and make a certain level of income or less, can qualify for some prescription assistance through the company. If dealing with them directly is too Byzantine (seems to be today's 'word of the day' for me) there are companies like Simplefill that charge a monthly fee to do all the bothering and processing. Worth it for multiple different prescriptions, but not just one or two. Have your friend check out with the company that the insulin is from, usually there's a patient assistance program and it can be found on the web-page. Required disclosing amount of income, and dealing with the issuing doctor, but it's not too hard for one or two scripts.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-78201420148284472602021-11-21T09:35:15.136-08:002021-11-21T09:35:15.136-08:00Harris was selected as Biden's running mate fo...Harris was selected as Biden's running mate for the same reason Biden was selected as Obama's running mate. She is not a threat to the president.<br /><br />Someone so unlikable she couldn't even make it to a primary. Someone so unlikable she raised less money than many loony-leftists. <br /><br />Repeat - selected because she wasn't a threat to an old mentally deficient pedophilic liar (who, when he was made VP, made Barky the Lightbringer look, well, much better.) She's there as a reverse carrot. Whack or get rid of the Alzheimer's in Chief and we get... her. Oh, God no! (With Biden as VP, it was, whack or get rid of Barky and you get Biden. Oh, God no!)<br /><br />Simple simple. The same thing that has ruined so many corporate America jobs. De boss he no select someone smart as or smarter dan he, oh no, de boss he select someone stupider and more incompetent dan he, so he (de boss) don't get no showed up by his underling. Underling, being stupider and more incompetent dan de boss, he (underling) selects someone stupider and more incompetent, and so on and so forth.<br /><br />It was obvious that by selecting Harris, they were selecting a short-timer position-filling useless meat puppet. It's who replaces her that will be interesting. Someone who is slick and competent (and evil as the Devil himself) who will make no waves and will politely wait for Biden to make it 2 yeas and 1 day into his residency, so that the new VP will have 1 year and 365 days (not a full 2 years due to leap year) and thus be eligible for 2 full terms as President.<br /><br />What we are seeing with Harris and the new VP is the Baron Harkonnen choice. Send the Beast Raban in to torture and screw up bigtime and then send in pretty Feyd Rautha in to be the 'savior' (even though The Beast Raban is just a sick murdering fool, Feyd Rautha is the truly dangerous one as he (Feyd) is very competent. Insane, socio/psychopathic, conniving, positively Byzantine in thought patterns, and evil as, well, the Devil.)<br /><br />And Biden is just a meat puppet. Was before the election, is getting worse now.
