Thanks Diana, I’ve never gone straight sunflower. I didn’t think the little birdies would be able to manage. Am I wrong ?
The economy is being shrunk to fit a few with no plan to re-expand it. It’s been going on for decades. Policymakers have been concerned about over overpopulation, the environment, appearances, etc. (in other words, they despise their neighbors for existing).
So do we buy puts on retailers like WM, Target, etc and make a killing when their earnings tank?
Even a chickadee will break open a sunflower seed. Plant a bunch of them, take them in when they’re ripe, and put them out as needed.
Improve the economy by decreasing prices.
Tweety stew?
The velocity of money is the frequency at which one unit of currency is used to purchase domestically- produced goods and services within a given time period. In other words, it is the number of times one dollar is spent to buy goods and services per unit of time. If the velocity of money is increasing, then more transactions are occurring between individuals in an economy.

The 10K earnings by 25% is bunk, because most of them are supplemented by: EITC, welfare benefits of other sorts like food stamps and free childcare, child support or retirement income. Or they are living at home with relatives, such as teenagers or wives working part time, so the 10K is only part of the household income.
A quarter of the population is not living off 10K per year.
The reason is that the USA is adding another 1 million barrels @ day to oil production. Plus keeping the supplies of natural gas low and plentiful.
The oil patch will basically add about 2% to gnp.
Anyone anywhere near it will make more money. The feds will collect an extra 200 billion in taxes. States and localities will collect another 20 billion or so,
Something big is coming; there’s no denying it now.
Depression, dictatorship, anarchy, Atlas Shrugged, who knows for sure?
You can’t push this kind of stupidity in the name of “economic recovery” by accident, so there should be no doubt among rational people that there’s a goal behind it all.
As long as the tax revenues continue to be pocketed by bogus gov. spending programs... in order to line the pockets of our politicians and give them bartering tools among one another, what makes anyone think for a minute they have any concerns whatsoever of what Americans have to spend!
Their concern is only to continue whatever lines their pockets and their ventures....to think otherwise is simply foolishness. We are simply the production line to their endeavors...as they "play" on the International game board to attain their places and clout there.
Expect a visit from PETA now that you've admitted mentally torturing starlings and blackbirds
Oh, forgot secession. Many states have resources that could potentially allow them to become stable in their own borders.
If one is close, you can bet I’ll be heading there.
BUMP for later...
they best hope we have is to figure out how to remain sane in this world, how to save our savings, and how to protect our families...
don’t preach to freepers who voted or supported bammey....it just will not sink into them....they are the reason we’re in this predicament and they know it in their hearts....that is why I have very little hope that we will ever turn this country around...too many “betterthanthou” conservatives trying to “punish” the impure conservatives....a pox on all their houses...
If I only made $10 grand a year, but paid no taxes, had property taxes cut, got a free phone, free food, free health care, bus passes, free college for the kids and free summer camps, I’d probably be better off....
Juncos and Chickadees will eat sunflower seed...they just have to work at it a little harder. If you want Goldfinch or Purple House Finch you WILL have to feed them nyjer seed which is quite expense.
(They can go to the neighbors, LOL!)
