P.S. Your envy is also duly noted... (Not an attractive trait...) BTW, you should be grateful that I own two homes. That means, while I pay full property taxes and amenity fees year round, I only use the services "part time"... You're welcome...

.......But, America has a FRONTIER mentality (too many John Wayne movies). And builders of estates can't help themselves - they build til they drop. Remember everything about America IS........bigger is better. Bigger homes, bigger cars, louder motorcycles, bigger cell phones, bigger waistlines, bigger appetites, get an operation and have BIGGER bust and whatever ! |

.......And get a new recent History and economics teacher because Real wages have ONLY increased in the last 2 years. No real change (taking inflation into consideration since 1990. And I have covered ALL that in prior posts. Maybe I need to water down the economic vocabulary. ........So, you admit that back then, you were just PRACTICING! Sorry, I could NOT resist that Bad, old Doctor joke. |

I have been drinking coffee to the point of being a fully caffeinated and functional human being. The drug of choice for the bottom 90% of the economic food chain. Pure Puerto Rican coffee beans, mis Amigos and Amigas.
Also, the drug of choice for the construction and mill workers of America. I believe that Native Americans had an upper-type similar. History, anyone, anyone? |

......And sentence 3.....YES, I have lived a sheltered life, just hanging out in my Mother's basement. ........And building and designing a home can be a "labor of love", but economics, financing, and laborers MUST ALL work together smoothly or The whole thing falls through (the floor). It is LIKELY that a recession is approaching, so the LITTLE PEOPLE (peeps) will get HURT the most (it always happens that way, funny). And the BIG people will come and buy up your mortgages at pennies on the dollar. Beware the SUITS ! |

They have SHRUNK 3% with the current administration. Per the U.S. Gubmint: Real Wages Have Shrunk 3 Percent Since President Biden Took Office - House Committee on Ways and Means Even CNN says they have SHRUNK... Fact check: Biden makes false and misleading claims in economic speech | CNN Politics

Anyone who thinks $20/hour is gross overpayment should try to live on $41,600/year.
When the cast member at Disney walks into his/her Walmart, guess what? Their eggs cost just as much as Joe Retiree living on a "fixed income". Gas costs just as much, but the working stiff has to buy more of it. If you can't afford to tip the person behind the counter, or it brings a financial hardship to you, don't do it. But if that's the case, probably spending money on fast-food meals is not a great choice either. I totally agree with whoever it was in a previous post who said watching too much TV news, whether it be CNN or FOX is a recipe for misery. Get out, breathe some Florida air, be glad we are not bracing for that ice storm. Try to enjoy the few precious days we have left. Don't let some TV newsperson with too much make-up spoil your day. Carry on. |

Hey, thanks- The post you are referencing was #44 in this bizarro thread. That post was mine, The “news” is causing so much anger— along with all those other negative emotions — to run rampant. Add FB and its spawn to what those television channels grind on and on about and we sure are in a mess. The so-called “news” is calculated by the power brokers to keep the viewers in a heightened state of negativity. It is interesting — though actually terrifying — to read about something known as the amygdala hijack. That’s when the emotional part of the brain takes over the thinking part of the brain. The amygdala is the emotional response territory of the brain and when it is constantly under siege it can take over normal thinking and cause behaviors that can wreck all kinds of important, in-person relationships. Pogo was right. (sigh) Boomer |
