Costco seems to be the barometer of our PTSD from the lockdowns. In the recent past there has been the rush before the Truck strike, the Railroad strike, and The Great Depression 2. And I know I'm missing some others.
I hear the experts on both sides, patriot and woke, including ultra-doomers (who don't trust Trump) and ultra-wokers (don't trust Kamala). In my mind, these are the 4-views/sides I'm noticing.
I've heard the same arguments, the same examples from history. We're going into war. There is going to be a shortage of _________ (fill in the blank).
I have mellowed out on the hype (from the 4 sides). I don't react so quick to the news, because things are changing so rapidly. And everything is different now. What is happening now is different than what has happened/been allowed the last 100 years or so.
The deep state had control and used events to further their agenda. For instance WW1 to bring on WW2 to bring on more and more war...
But now, does the deep state have the same control? It looks like their power is dwindling and everything they try has less and less of an effect.
The things that Trump seems to do is different than anyone else has done. His agenda is different. And the results change so quickly. I don't think the regular "Orange is Bad!", and the regular "Watcher on the Gate" pundits are able to keep up or to make accurate predictions.
I find it interesting that both sides actually have a slim slice of views in common: become more self-sufficient, buy less stuff. Save money. Don't replace items so fast, use them up. Choose better quality items, garden, etc, etc. The same views from a blue-haired to a MAGA. Interesting times.
That said, our reliance on China goods is terrible and never should have happened. Didn't we learn from the supply problems during and after the lockdowns what a mistake it was to rely on many of our parts from overseas?
School shootings have caused many parents to insist they carry phones.
Get rid of the school shootings.
Get rid of the MK Ultra programming, suddenly, no more school shootings.
High minimum wages takes away job opportunities for young kids. Gone are the days of paper routes and baby-sitting. Even weeding/lawn mowing jobs are hard to come by. They can't work in retail or food until they're 18. Then, they really aren't worth the min. wage + benefits the state requires business to pay them. Add in autistic challenges that many kids have (what is the percentage now?) and it's very hard for some of them to find employment.
Love your rant.
Multigenerational housing has it's problems but also it's benefits. Now, we live miles away from family that could be helping each other. Besides young adults trying to make it out in the real world, seniors are housed in $$$retirement centers$$$ and $$$nursing homes$$$. Guess who gets the inheritance?
Every one I know who got those early shots experienced weird medical issues in a very short timeframe. Leukemia. Diabetes. Strokes. Strokes. Strokes. Stage-4 cancer. Bleeding from a previous surgery scar. Oh, and they all got covid days later.
If they really cared for the children, they'd be giving Vit A out to the children.
I never understood why the gas tax isn't a separate line item when purchasing gas. It's hidden in the price, so most people have no idea.
So no, most people won't notice. And instead will blame the greedy stores/restaurants/services for everything under the sun going up in price because of the higher transportation costs.
Bring back tar and feathers.
Remember when brain cancer was only on soap operas?
I've known a few people in my circle with brain cancers, in the late 1990's and into the 2000's. I suspected cell phone usage. Now also we are bathed in wifi radiation, especially if you work in an office. That might not be healthy.
And the shots, of course. Instant stage-4 cancer of all types.
Seattle, unfortunately. Costco and Fred Meyer (Kroger). Items I usually buy (including household, not just food) are suddenly $2-$4 less.
Of course, our WA state legislature is raising taxes everywhere they can, so it'll be a wash.
My grocery bill has plunged! I noticed that last 2 weeks. Family of so I can spend $600 in one fell swoop. Barely broke $400 this last 2 weeks. Buying the same stuff.
That's cool of Brave but it doesn't work for me. I think I'm on youtube's bad list, either because I use a VPN, or because I downloaded too many vids thru 3rd party apps. It now wants me to sign in to watch anything. I used to download the audio of various youtubes so that I could listen to them on my ipod. I can no longer find a downloader that works.
Her book is amazing. I often post the link to the book's webpage which has all the charts in the book.
I've always liked Chase Hughes on the The Behavior Panel. I haven't been watching lately (kinda avoid youtube now) but went to his channel today and saw an 6 month old video where he talked about having brain issues (9 seizures a day!) and being diagnosed with epilepsy but being cured recently with methylene blue and melatonin.
I first I wondered if he took the shot, but further in the video, he discloses injuries to his face, nose, teeth (from combat). Interesting.
I hesitated to post, because I didn't mean you. But when there's lots of post about the same topic, many of them have vague titles. So even if one did a search, they may not find that it's already been posted.
I humbly ask for more clear titles. More description about what is in the post vs. click-bait type "look at this" ones.
Tipped off? Or part of the planning?
He's so tough, he eats raw cheeseburgers.
Wearing flip flops, no less.
I met a lot of environmentalists at my local natural food co-ops. They are BIG into personal gardening and farming. This kind of global government hogwash should make them go, "hmmm..."
Because they want more people to die from vax injuries.
I thought "by evil demons" but had already clicked Save. Thanks for the fix, you are so right!!
Mr. President, I think you mean to say, "Democrats are being controlled" instead.
Yeah, google is pretty much unusable. Even for things like searching for a store's location or hours is fruitless. I think it can still do math. But if I type in a phone number it solves the equation, ha. But it can't really do English.
I hate changing clocks and hate getting accumulated, hate the sudden change to my internal clock. Nature gives a more natural method by changing sunrises and sunsets by minutes, not a whole hour in one shot. It was a nightmare forcing my kids to change their natural internal clocks when they were growing up, was extra hard for them.
I've been tempted to changing my clocks one half hour. And leaving them there. Then half the year I'm 30 minutes early, and half the year I'm 30 minutes late.
I updated my Passport to avoid the Real ID. Got my kids passports too, I have to check those because I think Passports for minors expire quicker than adults.
I don't at all like the idea of the Real ID. And wonder how difficult it's going to be work out any issues with getting one. The Social Security office, in my experience, is totally useless in solving any issues. And the problem of stolen identity is a nightmare. How can we trust that anyone's SS# is valid, being they were given out like candy. How can we trust Passports and Real ID as well? Doesn't bode well when even a certain President of the United States had a stolen SS# and a fake ID.
