Accurate.
And who wouldn’t choose to spend their money on a higher standard of living if given the choice?
Accurate.
Yep.

One trade union leader said look Elon, we have $48 median wages, 5 weeks guaranteed vacation, 1 paid year of paternity/maternity leave. That’s called freedom.
Interesting take…worker’s economic freedom to a high standard of living vs. Musk’s hardcore libertarian, anti-union freedom.
Real estate taxes on a 25 acre "farm" are about $2200 here and I figure that I save the difference from what they'd be next door in Indiana in front-end alignments and tire life alone. Indiana back roads will beat the shit out of your vehicle.
Indiana sounds like the North Idaho of the lower Midwest.
a weird but fascinating State that was the location of an amazing amount of experiments with all manner of religious and utopian communities
Like Nauvoo?
Nauvoo is in Illinois, but yes
Exactly, just look at Biden’s border and all those people leaving commy socialist crap holes

Biden admitted today that his border strategy was not working because he was trying to make the United States of America one of the biggest shit holes in the world so they would stop coming but they’re still coming so Biden failed again
Communist Cuba was created by the U.S. ? I’m sure we wanted the Soviet Union 90 miles away from Key Westkalm wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2023 12:58 pmThose commie socialist crap holes we helped create.Caribbean Hen wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2023 10:47 am

Not everything is learned at the University
I sure did, but that happened in 1981 while standing in line with my own hard earned $400 bucks to pay my tuition. It was a slow line and gave me a moment to take a look around and suddenly I put that money back in my pocket and got the heck out of there and never went back.houndawg wrote: ↑Tue Dec 26, 2023 4:24 amI hope that you at least you got your money backCaribbean Hen wrote: ↑Mon Dec 25, 2023 4:08 pm

You knew you couldn't cut and you made the smart decision. You made it up when you paid for mine, I didn't quit and I appreciate you paying. Also 1981, how about that!

I could have cut it but I just cut out…I didn’t flunk out.
I was just ready to go do something real and yes it was a smart decision. I still haven’t spent that 400 either.
I actually agree with you on Social Security, take it as soon as you can
