They lie to us, we know they're lying. They know they are lying. They know we know they are lying. We know that they know that we know they are lying. And they still continue to lie.
I believe the United States has seen a new level of deliberate disinformation from the media, the government and major corporations. I think that when these institutions saw that they could get away with it, they have doubled down, using Twitter and Facebook helping to preserve the lies.
And for socialism: As long as the authorities pretend they are paying real wages, the workers will pretend that they are really working.
not my words........

Did not watch it but it seems that he did not perform as badly as anticipated . But seriously folks ( and I’m an old guy too ) do we really want an 82 year old running to be President (or a 78 year old for that matter). Is this the best that the self proclaimed “greatest country in the world” can come up with ? 😳

Poor Joe — “they” are shamelessly using him, and two more years of this may take a serious toll on his health before “they” kick him to the curb. No way he runs again unless they hand pick a vp to take over as soon as possible if by some long shot or blatant fix job again he gets re-elected.
Decorum? All of them need a serious reset. The fringe repubs continue to embarrass, however we can go back to Nancy tearing up the speech in all of her self-serving drama in the center of the big stage.
All while the Chinese send spy balloons hovering uncompromised over our military sites.
What have we created? It all comes down to us——at least for now I think…..

And now some good news egg prices will significantly come down soon. (everybody talking balloons and debt ceiling...where the answers and outcome are a forgone conclusion ) Everyday people care about everyday issues.(which they face on a daily basis) $5.00 for a dozen eggs !@#$ that! Avain Flu said to be the cause of higher prices, yet: Cal-Maine Food the US largest egg producer: Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Highlights Record quarterly net sales of $801.7 million, a 110% increase compared with the same quarter last year, driven by record average conventional egg selling price Record quarterly net income of $198.6 million, or $4.08 per basic and $4.07 per diluted common share Quarterly gross profit margin of 39.6% Cash dividend of $1.35 per share UK higher energy bills, yet: www.forbes.com/sites/davidblackmon/2023/02/08/bps-2022-earnings-round-out-a-record-year-for-oil-majors/?sh=224d24be120eIssues(food and energy) which average people really care about.

I just had to.You have to admit our goverment is a big joke. You need an example?November 17 2023 the State of Vermont will ban the sale of conpact flourscent light bulbs.So far I see California will do the same for 2024.When the Federal goverment mandated their use in place of the incandescent which was phased out in fovoe of the more efficient CFL.An incandescent light bulb is made of glass aluminum and tunsten steel.A compact flourscent light bulb has the basically the same material add some plastic and MERCURY.Do you think these Bozos would have a plan for PROPER disposal.NO,not until they made it an enviornmental hazzard and can levy HEAVY FINES for common disposal.They have to be treated as HASMAT.Yet how many tons have been disposed of in landfills all over the US.Even a dumb ass electrician like me new this was going to be a problem.What are their plans.......none.Meanwhile a deposit fee for ALUMINUM CANS and GLASS BOTTLES was put inplace in NY etal to persuade consumers to recycle(another joke for another day) the cans and bottles.The cans and bottles pose very little enviromental risk of pollution.They were more a litter problem.The CFL with MECURY ?No deopsit No return.They(people) will do the right thing.Yea right.I said way back then the CFL should have a cash scrap value.No deposit would be required and a dollar value for return FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.Who pays for the refund?How bout the manufactures, GE PHILIPS OSRAM pay for cleaning up.I wonder how many motions in Congress were offered such a plan LEADERSHIP.

I do grocery and have been for the past 15 years and I usury buy a dozen eggs every 2 weeks. The most I've ever paid for a dozen was $2.99 for "large" eggs and that was last week. Our store is Schnucks which is the largest chain in the St. Louis area. Aldis (A very good cut rate grocery) has them on sale this week for $1.99. If those $5.00 and $6.00 eggs are the lowest price you can find I can see why folks want to move other states.

Doc- you make great point about the CFLs. There should be a deposit value. My wife is very diligent about properly disposing of them but I wonder percentage-wise, how many are just dumped in the garbage. We are replacing with LEDs (which are pricey as they burn out.
