I remember seeing footage from the Hawaii Costco when the lockdown was either on the brink or just announced, and the people there were panicked and buying up toilet paper, since their supply chain (imports) would clearly be messed up after a lockdown. I saw that clip often and it even effected me. I saw that video everywhere online (don't have a tv).

Later, I saw a guy on youtube saying the tp hoarders were crazy, as he calculated the amount of tp needed, calculating how many poops a case of tp would last. I thought, if there's any women in his household (and there was a wife and daughters in the video) that he seriously under-calculated a familiy's tp usage. Wanted to tell him, that um, females tend to use a lot more than men.

I wonder this too. Is the bill one of those "need to pass it to find out what's in it?" type of bill that has some gotcha's and in Pitboss's word, boomerang's in the fine print?

I wish Christians would consider studying the festivals more. They are so full of symbolism, much more than a Christmas on Dec 25 or even Easter, on a day that is not necessarily lined up with Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits.

Yeah, I think they got a ton of money back, but they bought from a different company.

That's awesome you got such a great deal and still get the excellent mpg!

My friend had one of those cheatin' Volkswagens. Loved it. Until the recall where they had to tune the engine back and then it was awful. Why can't companies make the best product they can engineer and that the customer wants instead of having to follow impossible government mandates?

I feel wonderful after horse paste.

There was a comment in the gateway article that said they've been lying to us since 911. They've been lying to us a lot longer than that. Since that day in the garden (Gen 3). But for Americans, probably since 1776.

I played tons of board games with my kids. I simplified the rules for them when younger to make it less intimidating. I didn't have to go out and buy a special dumbed-down version.

I also bought board games at thrift shops just for the pieces. Scrabble letters are fun manipulatives to use in spelling. Teaching reading is multi-faced, typefaces for one. In English, alternate shapes of letters of "a", "g", "q", and the number "4" are common. And there is the differences between lower case and upper case letters. Not knowing my kids were autistic at the time, these things tripped them up. I made of set of scrabble letters that had the alternate shapes on the back, so we could flip them back and forth in learning.

Wouldn't it take a constitutional amendment to make it a federal issue? I don't think our nation is ready for changing anything in the constitution at this point.

I thought this too, until the news of many of the fast food restaurants laying off of closing down. Minimum wage hurts people who need entry level jobs.

In a perfect world, yes. But the value of our currency doesn't go up. We are over our heads in debt. We are slaves to the bankers.

Deflation in a bad economy is rushing to sell product before it decreases any more (fire sale). A company can't survive not making a profit, unless it's propped up by something else, companies like Amazon, Walmart, Apple seem to have unseen benefactors keeping them going. It's a racket. The lockdowns made it more obvious, you couldn't go to a mom & pop store, but you could go to Walmart!

Inflation isn't "prices going up", it's the value of our currency going down. It's a problem of having a fiat currency (paper not based on gold). Fiat allows government to make bad investments on things like social programs (to influence votes) and warfare.

Deflation is selling goods under their value, it's a last ditch effort to get something, but cuts into the ability for business to continue to function and resupply. They can't maintain and layoffs spiral.

Yeah, I think back to the butter bad, and the coffee bad, coffee good, coffee bad.

The whole vaccine fiasco.

Raw milk blamed, and dairies shut down over it, with no evidence.

Almost everyone I know has multiple diseases and conditions, including horrible ones like ALS, Parkinsons, MS. Tiny little children with "rare" cancers. Cancers should not be possible in such a young life. The only people I know who don't have these, are those who seek alternative health and don't do vaccines. The so-called healthy vegans I know, aren't healthy either, they eat all kinds of fake food and also go with conventional medicine, so have the same diseases and conditions.

Oh thank you for posting that. While I clinked this thread, I was chanting, "I hope not Tilamook...I hope not Tilamook..."

Tell us everything is scripted without telling us everything is scripted.

Small portion of fries? When we get Five Guys' for a treat after a shopping spree in the big city, there's 3 of us who share a order of fries, where they overfill a cup that spills into the paper bag. We eat til we're stuffed, then still have half of the fries left to bring home. The smallest burger there is larger than the biggest burgers at McDonalds and such, so apples to oranges in my opinion.

Business is getting hit hard with cost of materials, equipment, labor, and crime. They either have to reduce staff, reduce the quality of product, or raise prices.

The real criminal are those who are stifling and destroying our economy (and nation), not small business.
