“With the fools in DC right now, I don’t think it’s a good idea to essentially be ‘homeless’.”
I think you made the right decision there. It is not going to be very long from now when the ONLY thing of REAL value will be property.
Governors Complain That Biden, VP Skip Weekly COVID Calls

The phone calls come from inside the new administration, but the president is not on the line. In fact, Joe Biden has not dialed in to any of the weekly COVID-19 coordinating calls with the nation’s governors since he came into office, a sharp contrast with his predecessor and a break from last year’s pandemic ritual.
Every Tuesday, usually at 11 a.m. EST, all 50 governors dial in to the same conference call to coordinate federal and state responses to the coronavirus crisis. And until this past January, they heard each time from the vice president. Mike Pence, as head of the White House COVID task force, led those weekly discussions. Donald Trump dropped by from time to time. The calls continue under the current administration but without Biden. “It’s been a real frustration, I think it’s safe to say, for all 50 governors,” New Hampshire’s Chris Sununu told RealClearPolitics.
But Sununu told RCP, “It would go a long way if the president would just get on the phone, or the vice president would get on the phone and take questions. Allow us to ask the folks in charge questions.”
Census: TX Gains 2 House Seats, CA, NY Lose One As US Political Map Is Redrawn
The first set of results from the 2020 census are in, and reveal that the red state of Texas is set to gain two House seats, while California and New York will each lose one. This will bring the red state of Texas to a total of 38 seats and 40 electoral college votes - the 2nd highest behind California.
Doesn’t help when the Californians move here and flip dristricts from red to blue, like they did in Plano. They need to be reeducated before allowed to vote.
“I think you made the right decision there. It is not going to be very long from now when the ONLY thing of REAL value will be property.”
That’s pretty much why I’m having second thoughts. I have a feeling that real property is what will separate the ‘haves’ from the ‘have nots’ in the future.
