Personally politicians nor spouses should be able to hold individual stocks. Make them hold ETFs or mutual funds. Also force corporate money out of politics. Same as I always say, politicians are almost always interested in their own interests first and the higher up the ladder you go the more money is there for the taking from corporate "donors". 2 minutes ago, ToastJenkins said: Good thing they kept It legal for themselves to inside trade… A little faster to the draw but this times 1000x.

November 8, 20213 yr I don't know how Biden does it - making gas prices go up around the world with his sleepy do nothing attitude. They way he closed those coal plants in China only makes matters worse.
November 9, 20213 yr Now Kellyanne is making the rounds, claiming she never heard of a supply chain crisis during the last administration. Uh, what? She admits she wasn't doing her job either.

Might as well call it the Harvard Commies. The Atlantic - just some more coastal elitism there! CNBC - more like Commie .... NBC. am I right? And the Democommie led House? pfft, of course those are big lying sources of "news", none of which of course became true. Until Jan 20.
November 10, 20213 yr The panic is setting in: They know this is a big deal even if they can convince their cult of supporters that "durr inflation good."

November 10, 20213 yr somewhat related....morning mika was trying to get mayor pete to answer a question this morning...why is it that people just don't want to work? nearly every small business...restaurant...gas station...etc...is low on staff & trying to fill openings but people just don't want to work. pete was trying to give the company line answer...saying it's partly due to lack of child care...but the new infrastructure bill addresses that...blah, blah, blah. mika wasn't really having it & kept asking but got a bunch of non answers. what say you, cvon? why don't people want to work? the covid checks & extra unemployment $$ were originally cited as the reason...but i believe all that has stopped. correct me if i'm wrong there. seems like many are just choosing not to work right now. is it as simple as the wages being too low? why it be?

Because Americans have become a spoiled, entitled, childish population with a rotten culture. As things turn out, the proverbial "Protestant work ethic” was kind of an important aspect underlying America’s previous success.

"I'm seeing/hearing A LOT of, "I deserve x amount or I'm not working!" Let's see how long that lasts since the bennies are disappearing.

This is based on nothing more than observation, but I think we are seeing the effects of the gig economy we built. People are working and earning enough money to get by but they are doing it on their own time and on their own terms. Low wage 9-5 jobs are passé.

You assume wrong, as every municipality and the Feds continue the eviction moratorium, as an example. There aren't repercussions for failing to pay your bills right now.
