She has spent time in the hospital due to birth-related complications, she ...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.

I can work with your correction but disagree on the need for the regulatory state to grow. I see just as much corruption in that as the companies they are supposedly to have oversight on (Banking is the most recent example and the EPA has been caught taking multiple shortcuts, which are against the...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.

I can get behind the argument (from a small business side) they both suck. From a large business, regulatory standpoint, the current D's are much worse. The current EPA has proposed rule making that would effectively shutter half of our coal and gas fired power plants. Going to be hard to charge al...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.

Depends on how you want to read the graph. I think it's pretty telling, and I'd say positive, that from 1970 to 2021, the percentage of people considered "low income" dropped from 25% to 10%. That's awesome, people are moving upwards in large numbers. And it doesn't stop there, the percen...

Re: 2024 elections Congressional & State

We have a market economy here in the U.S., it is not a mixed one like China and Russia, etc. Allowing people the freedom to make their own choices will always be more efficient than trying to force a regimented system on a diverse population (extra steps always increase inefficiency). The trick is ...
