If you understand that China owns many of our politicians, then suddenly you start to understand why many of our politicians are just fine with bankrupting the middle class for the benefit of big corporations.

If Walmart and Home Depot and Target and Costco and Lowe's and Safeway and Giant and every big box store and every supermarket chain can stay open, then guess what: so can everyone else.
It is a slipping and sliding kind of morning!

California’s growth rate at record low as more people leave
PUBLISHED WED, DEC 16 20208:16 PM EST
FTA
Officially, California added 21,200 people from July 1, 2019, to July 1, 2020, increasing the state’s population a paltry 0.05% to 39.78 million people — still by far the most of any state.
But the bigger news from Wednesday’s new population estimate was that 135,600 more people left the state than moved here. It’s only the 12th time since 1900 the state has had a net migration loss, and the third largest ever recorded.
But while it’s fashionable to blame California’s taxes and policies for its recent exodus, state officials say the more likely culprit is the pandemic and the migration patterns of the state’s large community of international immigrants.
More people are leaving California than moving here, continuing a trend that coupled with fewer births has slowed the growth rate in the nation’s most populous state to a record low amid a pandemic that is reshaping its future.

That growth slowed for the first time in the mid-1990s after the U.S. cut back on its aerospace spending following the end of the Cold War. It happened again during the leadup to the Great Recession in the late 2000s. New population estimates released Wednesday by the state Department of Finance show it’s now happening a third time, as California recorded its third consecutive year of net migration loss.
Matt Frinzi carried out his exit strategy on Tuesday, when he finished packing up his BMW X3 and left his home in San Francisco for Reno, Nevada — a state that does not have an income tax. Frinzi has lived in California for 25 years, saying when he moved to San Francisco in the 1990s he thought it as “the premiere city in the United States.”
“I wouldn’t give you a nickel for it now,” he said.

A recent leftist college research project funded by a generous Federal Government grant shows that 112.5% of these "maps" are made up in moms' basements.

I tested the signature match for absentee ballots in Georgia and it failed. I'm tired of the deniers saying there is "no evidence" sig match doesn't work. Here is your evidence. Is it any surprise only 2,011 signatures were rejected out of 1,322,529 in November? We must fix this.
What a nightmare!
Apparently that is well known hazardous street in Montreal.
I drove in snow and ice over many years.
I am very happy I no longer have to do that.
If I see snow out, I can turn over and go back to sleep.
Retirement is great.
Thanks CB!
Mmmmmmm......molasses cookies! And, sugar cookies are always a must, at Christmas.

It would be a very sad house without a pet..or 4.lol. I’ve been in most of this year and my cats sure help me cope.
Good for you, NIKK!
Keep going!
Good morning, lysie....now, THAT is a bowl of oatmeal.
Love the bacon garnish....along with the bananas and PB.
These are a few of my fave things....all in ONE bowl!
I bet the snow is beautiful.
I saw the thread reminiscing about snow days of old. Told hubby about it....how kids woke up to days like this, excited to break out their snow toys, for the day. Reminds me of a mix of It’s a Wonderful Life and Christmas Story.
I told hubby....sadly, the more we’ve *progressed*, we’ve digressed :-(
Enjoy looking out at that beautiful scene, from the warm, cozy inside.
Yeah....I call Fake News on this map :-)
Agree, Lil Farmer, pecan pie sounds like GA, to me.
When I picked up my GA peaches, this summer, they gave me a free bag of GA pecans. Those went fast, for baking.
