I had someone do exactly that, once upon a time. Yes, I'm middle class (upper middle class in most areas of the country). Yes, I own my home and have had a good job for many decades. I still remember living in my car, and "washing" in the sink in the park bathroom, and drinking a lot of water to fool my stomach into thinking I'd eaten. I don't think I could forget, even if I wanted to.

Oh, what's that you say? Dolnad Rumpt got indicted again? That's cool, but let me know when he's in jail and no longer in the GOP primary

It can take years to fully recoup the cost of system installation. Therefore, making sure that your #solar panel system is built to last is imperative. The longer your system lasts, the more money you save.

To get a first-rate solar installation, there are 3 key factors that you must consider. These are the building’s structural capacity, the condition and age of the roof, and electrical infrastructure integration. We’ll cover each of these in more detail: cleanenergyrevolution.co/2023/

I used to see pictures of people in Japan, wearing masks during flu season, and thinking "That would never happen here." And yup, it didn't happen here.

So few people died of the flu in 2020 because people were actually consistently masking. I don't think I'll ever be able to get over that. All of the people who died of the flu, every year of my life, were all totally optional. All of the people who died of the flu since 2020 were also all totally optional, but even more unconscionable, because we knew an obvious solution. We know how to solve these problems and are choosing not to. I simply don't understand.

Our 10yr old has gotten ***REALLY*** into mechanical watches & clocks to the point he's on the verge of starting a side gig repairing them. He mentions his hobby to everyone, and a lot of folks have a not-quite-working item sitting around. He's fixed a number of them.

He has had a tough time with an civil war era pocket watch, but was finally able to salvage a compatible part from somewhere, and he got it ticking today. He was so proud, and wants to share with everyone.

I try to keep this viewpoint, I agree with everything you say (because my nose has been rubbed in it enough times) but I care very much about the results of what my company does. It's important to me, and potentially important to everyone else, too.
It's a very narrow ledge to stand on.

Not sure who is following this PragerU thing in Florida (of course) schools but that is some next level systematic white supremist shit. Full on indoctrination.
