"Whatever is opposed to life itself, such as any type of murder, genocide, abortion, euthanasia, or wilful self-destruction, whatever violates the integrity of the human person, such as mutilation, torments inflicted on body or mind, attempts to coerce the will itself; whatever insults human dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery, prostitution, the selling of women and children; as well as disgraceful working conditions, where people are treated as mere instruments of gain rather than as free and responsible persons; all these things and others like them are infamies indeed. They poison human society, and they do more harm to those who practise them than to those who suffer from the injury. Moreover, they are a supreme dishonour to the Creator".
Pope John Paul II called it back in 1995. It's a good read. Definitely interesting reading it now with the world as it is right now.
Every one who has served is not surprised by this. The VA sucks. Call the DAV and have them fight on your behalf.
That motherfucker is not real...
That's where all the East Coast cities are headed. Non stop pot smoke, massive illegal immigrant population, increase in violent crime, decrease in analytical thought and education, lack of employable people (lacking knowledge skills or abilities), etc. Same story, hundreds of cities along I-95. Smelling weed at 6am as cars are on the highway with people driving 80 miles an hour knowing everyone around you is impaired and if you die just trying to get from point A to point B no one will give a shit because they don't value life anymore. Civilization is falling.

Child trafficker and ex-teacher, Denys Varodi, 43, had allegedly given a $1000 down payment for the 11-month-old baby. He was arrested on the Ukraine-Slovakian border and put in prison. In a video obtained by journalist, Vitaliy Glagola, Varodi’s cellmate recorded a video where he admits and exposes more child trafficking he was involved in at the school he taught at.
Varodi said that he and other traffickers were involved in various activities with a “charity organization.” The charity worked with orphaned students at a boarding school in Perechyn, Ukraine. According to Varodi, many of these trips for students went to places such as “Holland, or Germany, or Italy, or America."
During the various trips of the students, lawyers working with the trafficker would falsify documents of the students’ travel and some were allegedly “adopted.”
In reality, according to Varodi “children and students of the Borshchiv boarding school were taken out for organ transplantation.”
yeah - in case people still thought the Pope was an ok guy...he's working with the Clintons...
CGI has re- entered the room...
She's acting like Sarah Palin especially with blatantly hiring relatives.
I had Byron Donalds on my list but with this CR I just don't know.
My secret favorite would be Ric Grenell. :)
We're so smart we're stupid.
that's right...ol' Ruby and Shea gonna take care of everything.
Connecticut police won't do shit about this any more than Massachusetts police will investigate a chef's drowning.
My father's advice was to always be a glazier.
His joke was that when times are good, people build and construction needs windows. When times are bad, people drink and they break windows. Broken windows mean money for the board up (with your company's logo on the plywood of course) and money from fixing the windows and doors for businesses.
I don't even need to mention hurricanes, tornados, hailstorms...it's always good to be a glazier. e even made money during COVID (when we were allowed to stay open) because everyone wanted sneezeguards. Guess who had a lot of plexiglass in storage? We did. :)
There is currently a shortage of glaziers and a lot of small businesses would love to train you and even get you into the union where certain jobs can get you a very nice hourly rate. You can be a union glazier in a non-union shop. The investment in the appreticeship is worth it.
I think the companies that are right sizing during this period of contraction are the ones that will survive. You're making all the right moves.
If you need it, it is wayy better to get a loan from your 401k than it is to withdraw. Then you are paying yourself back and avoiding penalties. The interest on a 401k loan is much cheaper than any credit card out there.
It's amazing to me how many people don't live within their means and go into debt for stupid shit. One year we went trick or treating in a neighborhood where house prices were ridiculously high and all these people who had just bought their houses had no furniture and were sitting indoors on lawn chairs (more than one house). I wanted to give back the snickers bar they gave us.
Some things that helped us to save money when times were tight:
-
The book "Dining on a Dime" really shows how to shop for deals and to make good family meals for pennies. It can really bring down your $500 grocery bill which seems pretty high.: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=31547087989
-
The book "Tightwad Gazette" goes the extra mile for serious extremely frugal ways to save money while raising a family: https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=30834325092

Used book stores - they sell older model gaming systems and games as well as books
-
Review the classifieds or craigslist for free items - then see if you can renovate it or turn it into something someone would buy - an example of this would be using pallet wood to make an adirondack chair or old food plastic drums that could be made into a rain collection system. Another idea is finding large amounts of old wires and harvest the copper out of it to sell it to a scrap metal center. Lots of side hustles to get that 20, 40, 100 bucks that you need for rent / mortgage. Grabbing processor chips out of old washing machines could also be pretty profiable. https://www.scrapmetalbuyers.com/current-prices
-
Taking on side jobs - there is always some job that someone wants to pay someone else to do. Between food delivery, rideshares, lawnmowing, leaf raking, snow shoveling, the money is out there.
It's worth watching the Slave Princess documentary by Liz Crokin. https://www.slaveprincess.com/
She talks about the hired guns who work for TMZ, post comments on Daily Mail and gossip magazines. How they trap people into conservatorships and make these actors slaves to their handlers. It's how they got Nicole Kidman to eat bugs (ummm soo good) on camera. When you defy your handlers you will be accused of being a rapist, a child diddler, and they will try to get you committed to a psychiatric facility like Kanye and Britney. Hollywood is not a happy place.
Was the fucking fireball from the crash stealth too? How about the noise as it crashed into the dirt?
This whole thing is such planet bullshit.
Poop - time to pull my money out again. :(
Any word on Wells Fargo?
Does Mariah Carey have a sibling named Susan?
Google mentions 3 kids: Morgan (brother), Allison and Mariah.
Is Susan actually Allison?
