“”””I doubt the actual number wanting to leave is more than a few hundred.”””

A few hundred who can afford a $20-30 million dollar house is a significant amount of taxes leaving.

Allowing these people to live on the streets is inhumane. They need to be treated for drug addiction, alcohol addiction, mental health issues, or any number of problems.

To do otherwise is to invite crime into your area. But these for-profit companies like Goodwill just bleed the taxpayer while never fixing the problem. But what do you expect when a Democrat is involved.

“””””which was created in 2021 to help lower health care costs for middle-class Americans.”””””

Living in Tahoe and retired at 59 is not lower middle income.

“””””They hate each other so much”””””

But only one side has shot a presidential candidate. Only one side Killed a man who just wanted to debate. Only one side has shot congressmen. Only one side has beat up a senator at his house. Only one side has used the courts to punish the other political opponents.

And it goes on and on. Bottom line the shutdown is just a continuation of the hurt the public policy of the democrats.

“”””Chuckles shouldn’t budge an inch.””””

I agree don’t budge an inch. We need more time to cut government spending.

I would like to see a meme of the construction. It would have President Trump walking around supervising with a crown on watching Democrats in sombreros working on it.

I posted in the comments “You broke the law. You are a crook”.

I know where he can get a cool $1,000 and a free trip.

“””Question for ya — how’d it go? Did he S your D? Did you enjoy it?””””

If never works out. I told a DI to kiss my democrat. He did not do that at all. But it was like getting two for one in the fitness part of boot camp for 13 weeks.

“””As I as I had a Contract job making $100,000 plus by day’s end.”””

To many people don’t realize that when they are working people are watching. And if you are a stellar employee, you are kept track of for possible future employment. You should be working as if you are the boss because that is just prep work for when you do become the boss.

But I am going to assume you know this already.

“””Article states total is subject to revision...”””

It could go up or down. But most likely it will go up. Even if it didn’t go up I wouldn’t be terribly concerned. A large chunk of those let go were government employees.

“””If you’ve never been fired from a job, you’ve never really worked for a living.”””

I once quit a job because the boss and I didn’t agree. In fifteen minutes, I had another job paying the same pay ant another company where I became the highest paid person. Does it count as getting fired if you fire yourself?

This article says the private sector added 15,000 a week.

Well, Lordie I know how they can get $1,000 and a free ride.

“””Boy, is food every dirt cheap where you live. You seem to love processed foods - that’s not healthy, you know. If that’s a representative snapshot of your diet, you are working on long-term health issues.”””

I don’t think you read my post. Canned ham was the only processed food in my post. Along with Eggs and potatoes.

In general I don’t eat processed food. The last time I went to the store I bought bananas, cucumbers, potatoes, eggs, and cheese. That is pretty much what I buy at the store except I add boneless skinless chicken breast from time to time. I have a freezer full of beef that I get from a local farm.

My health is fantastic for being 56. Last week I roofed two new houses that totaled 56 square or 14,000 pounds of shingles. I also framed a roof on an addition and roofed that. How many people who are my age do you know that can do that?

I will be around a long long time. I would bet you eat more processed food than I do. My normal day is ham or beef with eggs cheese and chicken. Some fruit and some veggies.

I checked the cans of carrots I eat, and it lists carrots and water as the ingredients. The green beans list green beans water and salt. If you are upset by them being canned, what do you do that is different than when you cook them. You heat them up a little more.

I can’t fast when working. I can’t get enough calories. I lose weight so fast and can’t stay warm at 80 degrees.

But most of these people could use a fast. And an education on healthy eating. It really is not that hard to stay somewhat fit by just cutting out proceed food.

I do 24-27 hour fast in the winter when I am not working hard. I feel fantastic when I do it.

“”””I’ve got over a years supply of food for 2 in the event of a natural or manmade disaster. It’s called common sense.”””

Light weight. I have my good food for my four plus beans, rice, and canned veggies for my worthless in laws.

I am not eating beans and rice. I have ham, beef, pork, spam, ect for me my wife and four kids for two years. You never know when the Democrats are going to have a hissy and shut crap down again. Or how long they will.

And sundries like soap, shampoo, fertilizer, aluminum foil, ect.

Don’t know. Don’t care. I had it ground into 85/15. I asked for 3 roast and soup bones. I got about 10 roasts and soup bones plus 6 boxes of ground beef. All told just over 300 pounds.

Wow! They really are petty. Very childish.

No tax on food in my state.
