yeah, so in rural America where I live lets see how it's going.
Food is way more expensive. Gas is way more expensive. From what I hear, fertilizer is way more expensive. Basically everything is way more expensive, lots of people drive trucks because the actually need them. And everything is several miles apart.
Could be a rough year for farmers.
Who cares about farmers though? Those are just smelly dirty poor people too dumb to live in a city, right?
Yeah, ok. These people think WalMart makes the food you buy there. There's a Tendie machine in the back that makes your tendies from recycled Fiji water bottles.
Rural America is also where most things are made that are still made here. At my company quotes are only good for 10 days now, we practically have a ticker running that tallies steel cost which goes up every day.
Swallowwell is definitely on crack. Or his assistant who posted this is.
It is hard on farmers especially the price of diesel. It's over five dollars a gallon now.
I have many people with pickups where it's costing over a hundred dollars to fill with gasoline. I agree with everything. especially about the truck part. we have a truck with four wheel drive which is pretty much essential in winter. I drive a car most of the time because I live in town but there are times we have absolutely needed the truck.
We just got floors quoted last week and the guy came today with samples and said his prices have already gone up but thankfully he’s going to keep our quote
I paid $35 for 2X6X16 today per board and $28 per 2X4X16. 6 mil visqueen has gone from $150 for 2000 sq ft to $300. #4 Rebar has doubled too. 2 inch foam R13 sheets are 50 bucks. My concrete suppliers have all raised their prices per yard by 20% AND add $100 fuel surcharge per load. Its costing me $500 to $1000 a day just in fuel surcharges. We had an above average March in footage poured but my concrete bill was $147k by far a new record. I got to pay this monthly while builders take up to 90 days to pay me.
Homeowner work has dried up at $6 per foot. Im pushing all my builders for $4 per foot. Thats a 33% increase but still less than my costs have risen.
Wages are 30% higher at least plus you have to pay bonuses and you still cant find help. I run 4 diesel trucks a day and 2 gas. My fuel costs are through the roof.
I may retire. Im too old to be doing everything myself again.
I cringed the whole time reading that. The only good thing is it sounds like you’re at the end. Im at the start. No time for retirement. It’s a shame either way, it will be the end of what sounds like a successful construction business for you. How do you keep that alive for another generation?
My comment was about a 6x6x12” 6061AL for a single part. They wonder what we charge more...
They're not on crack. They're fucking LOADED compared to us, and they're so completely out of touch its infuriating and sad. This is why they don't even blink when newsfucks say shit like "We want gas to be $10 a gallon!"
Tax is just another way of making sure you never really own anything. My parents paid off their house purchased in 1960 by 1970. Their mortgage was $128.00. It didn't matter because even with a senior "freeze" they were paying many multiples of that monthly to keep up with their real estate taxes in their old age.
I think part of the Great Awakening is realizing that we have to tear the house down altogether. No more half measures. These fuckers have to go and people need to be truly independent again. Why are WE being audited by the IRS. It's OUR money. They act like they are being generous when they ALLOW us to keep some of it. Sorry for the rant.
I was talking to my 14 year old son about that recently. A homestead should NEVER be taxed at the "going rate". If you got it cheap when no one wanted it, you shouldn't be punished when people do.
While it's kind of good that home prices continue to go up, it prices younger people out of the market completely, that want a house, but simply can't afford it.
Rural poor are the enemy of the democrats. Dems routinely denigrate, diminish, and rob the the rural poor to prop up their concentration camps aka large city urban poor projects.

I produce “goods” and I saw a piece of material you can hold in your hand, rise nine dollars in one week.

We're getting our tendies from the mayo man.

Ah yes, if it isn’t Swallowwell. Fuck any Chinese whores and give away our American secrets?
It was the "Fang Fang" thing that convinced me that we are living in a Monty Python movie.
Has anyone seen Fang Fang since that airplane she was on crashed?
Hmmm, we haven't heard about Fang Fang lately. Hard to keep up with the cast of characters. Who else has suddenly disappeared?
All our money and weapons
True dat.
As retirees who moved rural 3 years ago, our 2023 appraisal just hit our mailbox.
Our appraisal went up 50%, because Jack wagon city folks are paying $150k per acre out here. We purchased 11 acres for less than that 4 years ago.
The bottom HAS to fall out in the real estate market or good folks are going to be taxed off their land.

Thanks for the rant. You are right. Keep your passion. I'm right beside you.

100% this ^^^!!!
Depending on how you pronounce it, it certainly could sound like "Taxes."
Couldn't find the clip, but here's a transcript of the scene this brought to mind:
-Chico Marx in Duck Soup
That is already happening in many coastal towns and has been for years. Happened to me.
While it's kind of good that home prices continue to go up, it prices younger people out of the market completely, that want a house, but simply can't afford it.

Liars! Every single one of them.
Pure propaganda. When we take our country back, propaganda like this needs outlawed in every way, punishable by death.
He is a moral degenerate. But he has lots of company where he works.
...it was there final, most essential command.
Tards, gonna tard
We doesn't mean us, guys, it means the corrupt government toadies.
Who the fuck is eating that shit pie?
My job is audits, the last 4 months have been 80% and higher tasked to make sure prices are correct (IE: up).
My lunch budget is tossed out the window now cause everything went so high that it's not even a choice to skip it most days.
Rural KS here and I've recently seen "I did that!" Biden stickers on the gas pumps lol
This is some spicy delusion
Other way around, fag. Reps do not tell us how things are going. We tell them what they're going to do.
Eric Swallow needs to sit back down.
Yet the people pay no attention.
Ah, dumbass Rep. SwallowsWell
A tank full of gas under GEOTUS: $40
A tank full of gas this week under POTATUS: $83
Yah, I'm definitely doing better. /s
