    to the Garden of Oregon where life is like a bowl of cherries. If enough
    of us move up there we could live like kings and sway the politics to
    the sane side.

    still comes out a potato. Works the same with choosing your gender.

    You could just do what they do and use the police to round them up, have
    the courts reject any rights, and lock them the hell up. Yeah, just
    throw all the leftists in jail. Shouldn't be too hard since most of
    them are committing crimes every day.

    And then forget what you did with the key!

    You know: the mentally ill, alcoholics and other drug users, the dumb
    and the lazy.

    You're dumb but you claim to not be suffering.

    Unemployment has gotten so ridiculously low that, even
    at my age, I could have a job tomorrow, if I was in the mood for that
    sort of thing. Everywhere I look, everything is getting bigger and
    fancier. We have no shortage of huge crew cab pickups here. You should
    see Oceanside now. It's a very small town on the coast. The business
    district hasn't grown in many years. It's tiny. But they're still
    finding places to stick big fancy houses on the hillside that defines
    the town. The coast isn't as busy this time of year, but it's a whole
    lot busier than it used to be. All our state campgrounds used to close
    during the winter. Now most of them are open all year. And this sort
    if thing is happening all over the place. We are the most prosperous
    Americans who have ever lived.

                 Except for getting older, my life keeps improving, and
    the neighbors keep getting richer. We lost the last junker in the
    neighborhood and it really wasn't all that bad, just old. The old lady
    next door was probably the original owner of what looked to be a
    budget class Plymouth from the late 60's or early 70's. She's gone,
    and I don't think anyone wanted that car. Now there's a top of the
    line fully accessorized Mustang next door. I dunno, maybe the other
    neighbor on the other side is suffering. He hasn't had his big jeep
    that was built for off-roading off road since sometime before the
    pandemic. It's his everyday commute mobile. I think that's pretty sad.

    TB

    Market up 500 points today. Feds appearing to be ready to cut interest
    rates next year. Unemployment at near lows. Yeah. Things are really,
    really bad.


    You just made the case for my original statement. I'm on my way and I'm bringing all of my God fearing, Trump loving, pro-life, flag waving, Bud
    Lite boycotting, heterosexual American Patriots with me. Reserve some
    sites in one of those state campgrounds. I would bring some racists with
    me but they are harder to find (except in the red states) than Biden
    supporters these days.

    Back to reality...

    I"m earning lots of money. The value of that money is what's in
    question. You and your "richer" neighbors likely have less buying power
    than you did four years ago. However, not everyone is invested in the
    market. Old people on fixed incomes, people who live paycheck to
    paycheck, etc. aren't seeing things like you snobs in The Garden of
    Oregon (or should I say The Garden of the PNW?).

    Mensa, you continue to disrespect your membership with all of your
    sophomoric posts. If you knew anything about history you would know that
    a republican worried very much about people on a fixed income. It was
    fixed at basically room and board.
