I’ve had three conversations about bees this week. First my 28yo daughter was talking about no mow May. She gave up and mowed her yard. 2nd, I’ve been seeing plenty of bees in my garden/orchard this spring and 3rd my brother was mowing under a flowering tree at his house. He had to get off the mower to pick up a stick and literally said the tree was buzzing with bees. This was all different environments but it appears bees are thriving in south/central Mich. My brother lives at a lake, my daughter in the city and I’m rural.
Yes it’s true. My Dads cousin and his family lived in Dearborn. We visited often and I remember no blacks were allowed. Now the city is over run with these crazies. Everything accommodates them. No longer a typical midwestern town. It’s as if you traveled to the Middle East.
This is exactly why I hate being called a boomer! Born in ‘61 I watched my older cousins lose their minds with the movement. Hippies are the people who are currently the aged members of our wayward government. I hold that generation of spoiled brats for where we are now. Sorry not sorry.
My family is going through a lawsuit and my younger brother has a lot to lose if the win goes to older brother. Anyway, I started asking Grock questions about the case as it evolves in an effort to reassure my brother and cool his anxiety. So far Grok has been right every step of the way. I even tested it by explaining how a feel about the whole thing as a Christian. I figured it would poo-poo my beliefs. It didn’t, in fact it gave me bible passages to support that aspect of the situation. So far so good on all counts. I told a friend that she may want to rethink her career in social work.
I don’t really care where you worked. My kids were 14 and 16 when my husband died at 55. Yeah, I was the wage earner because he had shit jobs his entire life. But to give you an idea… I almost lost my house that I had purchased before I ever knew him. Imagine, how little ssa allowed in payments that I was better off without it ? Soc sec is shit. So don’t be playing that a widow with two minor children should lose her home and that’s ok. It’s not.
I had to cash in my pension. I had worked for an auto company that left Michigan. I was too broke to pay my bills after because finding another job took nine months. I have no savings because of Michigans failing economy. Although I’m skilled in tech, worked since I was 14. I have two degrees and worked for energy, automotive and education at the university level. It’s unconscionable that I can bearly hold on.
I am unfortunately part of their group. The youngest among them. I hate it. They have been freaks all their lives. I have several cousins in this group and watched their effect on the sixties. To this day they are so brainwashed they can’t see straight. They believe they have the answers to everything. I do have one that is one MAGA. But she still lives like a hippie. I am thankful she is one of the good ones.
I’m thinking it’s taxes. Jmo but we aren’t oppressed by tariffs. We are oppressed by taxes. Now, if you want to say tariffs are the solution that allows we to be free of taxes ok. But the root cause is definitely taxes are killing us.
If Trump stops taxes the world is going to listen to tariffs because of how that affects them personally in a positive way. The negative talk about tariffs causing inflation will stop.
