yo7u have, all along.
Certain people require cheap labor to mow their yards, watch their kids. cook their food ...
and work in the clothing factories, fast food, etc. Section8 fills most of their requirements.
Cash work, or "under the table", fills the rest.
Pay up citizen! Those taxes don't pay themselves!

Poor Biden, he thinks he is fooling the v**ers.
It's OK. It' just Texas, really.
We still have Abbott and Cruz on the job and they're working on it.
You KNOW those geniuses have a plan!
Maybe they'll go to Cancun- again- to scope out the situation.
You mean that serial rapist of minors did something he needs to deflect attention?
Ho RINO is he?

It'll be handled. Somehow.

The GQB is running under the auspices of a Catholic cult under the teachings of ol St. Augustine.
Remember Bush's secretary, and that a newish female Supreme Court Justice

What will you do when the Blue Hats come to America?
Yeah, ummm, nope.
we give money to the bad people who run governments and corps to get them to do our bidding.
Usually at the great loss to their civilian population.
By the way, our "military bases are seen as "YANKEE IMPERIALISM".
Which is why you'll see broke beat up populations refuse our "free" assistance in natural disaster.
The price is too high.
Pay attention!!!
Putin is trying to restore the USSR.
And Russia was a state of that.
Just like Crimea, Belarus, Ukraine, Chechen and Georgia.
This is the second time this century he's tried this on the Ukraine,
so yeah, if he can't get the state of Russia to comply he'll pop them too.
He's about to do what that other Nazzi did
Get too spread out, broke, military and civilian unrest-
and get all that negative attention from the rest of the world.
Uncle Joe Stalin has a seat waiting for him ...

"It takes two to make an impasse."
It only takes one to be an ahole.
Have you seen the latest GQB missive?
it seems they will try to pass work related requirements on Medicare.
Unless, of course Biden doesn't agree to their pork barrel demands of their lobbyists.
Any youse guys have a disabled elderly women on Medicare?
Maybe she could be a greeter for the RNC headquarters.

Still believe in the "One Drop" Manifesto.

It counts a lot to them.
Go inland a bit. You'll see towns named after the founder.
As as you drive down the street, they look at the stranger.
And you'll have a real good idea of what that founder looked like.
Some of these are "challenges".
Like, how many "wrong" doors can a bunch of kids ring? Over and over?
And how many of those kids are aholes just for the sheer joy? "Minor" property damages.
We had a bunch running around at night shutting off exposed breaker panels.
"Just kidding!"

CBS News did a bit on the dangers of LED headlights. Lots of accidents and injuries have resulted from those lights shining in the eyes of oncoming drivers. It's especially bad when the lights are a bit out of adjustment or when the driver leaves them on high beam. I wonder if they needed approval before being put on cars. I know that in 1957, states had to pass laws very quickly to allow cars with four headlights to be sold there. I dread driving at night because of the LEDs.
In Europe, cars have had bright, adaptive headlights that light up more of the road, yet do not blind oncoming drivers. Maybe in another fifty years, we'll be allowed to have them here.

FREEDOM!
There's a whole sub culture here of using "offroad" equipment.
Your "legal" LED is a 55w equivelent. I can purchase 100w LEDs at the autoparts store.
we gots lights and lightbars, mufflers, cat con replacements, license plate covers and colored headlights.
All only authorized for off road, but still off-the-shelf available

Street lighting is very much the norm here, in town & cities for both built up streets and often through routes (motorways & dual carriageways) which possibly equate better to highways. Even the lane in our village outside my house has lighting.
Country lanes however are a completely different matter so there are large numbers of local roads, with no lighting and often no road markings. Major roads are often unlit out of town, but nearly always have 'cats eyes' to indicate where the road goes ahead.
Proper use of dipped full beams, does make driving safer but unfortunately quite a large proportion of those driving seem to be lacking in basic standards. I think courtesy is considered outdated by many :(

Well way back in the day, there was this guy "Drivers ED".
He'd teach you that stuff. Sadly, the Red Team had him "disappeared".
All the money to fund his operations was then diverted to pay General Fund.
In order to pretend to defray the costs of some of their excessive expenses.
Fast forward to now- that was three kids generations ago. That culture is as forgotten dust.
Now its "Driver Training", a 3rd party privatized corps to teach how to pass the test.
I'll be out and about in Sanfernado next week-
Do they teach them how to drive, eat, makeup, change clothes and use the iphone whilst driving there?

I was an "associate" at a purveyor of games of chance regarding the equine segment.At the time (some time ago)
The PTBs didn't want to handle $1 bets. The prevailing wisdom then decreed a $2 Window.
The payouts were also in $2 bills, to help assist clients in showing off their winnings
Rather than the incipient cost at arriving to that conclusion.
Which generated a plethora of various topical trite sayings about the possession of said $2 bills.
At the time ...

That monthly cost is not unusual around here, and it's a big problem. Another single bedroom was advertised for $1,600/month. As taxes and other costs increase, and as wealthier people move into the area, sellers and renters charge more.
A tragio/comedy of errors and greed flation.
I live in a slightly sketchy 'hood.
Landlord is sad because there are "tipping points" in pricing
where people won't rent, or they expect more for it.
He says he doesn't know "what's wrong with those people".
Prices rise: typical two bedroom apartments have typically two families in them.
Maybe the bubble won't burst, but it will drop and flatten out.
Then we'll have another crisis saving flippers and under-water investors.
*sigh* and so it goes.

Farmers deal with the El Niño-La Nina every year so it’s no big news to us. The expected cold-hot and wet-dry weather trends may or may not affect crop yields. Sometimes a single rain or the lack of makes the difference between bumper crops or crop failure.
And the article talking about April global temperatures being above average, apparently they ignored the Midwest and upper Midwest this April. We had some really cold-assed temps, so I guess those aren’t figured in when they are looking for above average temperatures. We would have 1-2 above average temp days followed by 4-6 days of way below average. As for climate change, the nino Nina thing always has been, or at least in human history.

We're {West Coast} are experiencing the "Lava Lamp" effect.
Blobs of hot air from the Pacific go right up North.Followed by a space,
Usually lower pressure cooler and humid.
Those hot blobs are heating up the Arctic Regions.
There WILL be a Northwest Passage in most of our lifetimes.
In the meantime,, all that Arctic air is drifting to the flyover coastal states.
I know you hate to keep hearing it,
