You can put almost anything (short of an old sock) into a crockpot or pressure cooker and " WA-LA in several hours you have a masterpiece of culinary perfection - equal to or better than most restaurants when you factor in the wasted hours of your precious lifetime.

No it is not a local issue, it is a federal government mandate so Florida just can't end it. Yes it is political because we have morons running the system. This is here until 2024 and maybe longer.

Retired person I know with great ssi and pension is enjoying being laid off from a pt job and now collecting unemployment even tho doesn't need it they say. Grrrrrr

Can you say “double standard “?

Can you say “poor analogy”? We didn’t get a stimulus check every week or two weeks nor did we receive a stimulus check in addition to an unemployment check. So your bitching remark doesn’t add up.

If you read through the entire thread. It would add up. Perhaps you did and just can’t add?
Btw, I haven’t received any stimulus checks. And never had the need for unemployment payments.

After 12 pages of words of wisdom and many days later, the lobby is still closed, the cars idle in line for the overrated butterburger, and still no definitive answer on Culver-nomics in The Villages!

That sounds like a serious case of BS.

Well, we gotta wait until the money runs out and possibly 2022/2024 before we go back to an environment where people work and get paid, rather than procreate and get paid...

If you file 2020 taxes, and are under the threshold, you are getting the stimulus check whether you want it or not. There is no way to 'OPT-OUT'....

Well that cold, nasty weather certainly explains why folks are bailing out of California for Texas.

Whatever gets you through the night...

It is however, due greatly to taxes, cost of living, poorly run states going bankrupt, crime, opportunity, it goes on.

I agree, But I have to add that I still work. I enjoy going to Culver's, with my laptop, placing my order and waiting even an hour for my food. I continue to work, etc. Something I cannot do comfortably in the parking lot in my vehicle.

So, I have to find other places to go to.

Yesterday, while going through South Carolina ( I do every other week in TV) I TRIED to do a walk-in for breakfast. I got off at 3 different exits and everywhere were horrible long lines for drive throughs. Nobody had any dining rooms open, everyone had HELP WANTED banners in the windows (thanks,,,uh,, you know, we gotta print money because of 'the thing''.. uh uh ).

The only place with sit downs were Cracker Barrel and Waffle House, both of which has 20 or more standing outside waiting.

Is it no wonder that only places where TIPPING is allowed has waiters and waitresses?

Because I can see the tax hikes coming. Someone has to pay for all this stuff. I'm so tempted .....
