Nope, the premise of the article is inflation under Biden. He's been in office a couple of years, hence the two year number.

But if anyone really deserves reparations in San Francisco, it’s the Chinese…https://www.sfexaminer.com/our_sections/forum/are-chinese-american-reparations-in-san-francisco-next/article_9b316c82-a8de-11ed-82de-7fd770bf880b.html

Very cool!!

Shame, Xe’s a real looker…

Late to the party, but Happy Birthday also!!

I was in Indonesia and the town I was in installed the first escalator in a store. People were lining up to ride it.

As happened in the 2020 election, the best campaigner the Democrats have is President Trump.

Interesting piece. I accept that the Iraqi people are somewhat better off. My question would be are the US interests in the area better served now than if Hussein had remained in power?

@jon-nyc said in Backdoor Girl: Very meandering piece but it ends in a flourish. More like a glob. A big slimy one.

Very true. We’ve gone beyond breeding and training them to be useful.

It's past crazy. And it's being pushed by people who have never been there and will never go.

@Copper said in MSNBC: @Horace said in MSNBC: I once saw 89th spell "island" like "I land". lol. That is hilarious. It was pretty embarrassing.

@Mik said in Hay Cats! Your "Guilty Dog" post of the day.: Dog clearly has anxiety issues. If she left him closed up in the bedroom all day I can see it. He's a young Golden.. They have a ton of energy. Less than working dog, but still a lot. At that age, the dog needs at least 90 minutes of exercise per day. 2 30-minute walks per day, and a couple of 15-minute heavy play sessions.

@George-K said in Marrianne Williamson is abusive?: that has to include the principle.” That's principal, Mr. Forcible Kisser.

I couldn't believe he went out over the trees. This is why you have co-pilots to doublecheck all flight prep.

@Jolly said in Zuckerberg Weighs In: it creates huge problems within the workforce. And feeds the sharks lawyers.

@Catseye3 said in Anyone watching the Oscars?: @George-K said in Anyone watching the Oscars?: If I had to guess, it's not so much the "woke" culture as it is the naked politicization of EVERYTHING. I'd like a better understanding of how much influence so-called wokedom has in reality. Taken as a whole, it is so vastly stupid that I can't get away from the belief that it will be short lived. How much is actually out there, and how much is (mistakenly) believed to be there by you, me, the media? How much is claimed to be believed in by people who a) don't actually care, but want to appear kewl or b) don't care and don't even have a good knowledge of what it is? How much of the wokedom effect is fabricated by the media, who know a good ratings draw when they see it? And if some percentage is fabricated for effect, how would you or I know? And so on. All good questions, deserving of answers. I dunno, but I hope it's a fad. It's a fad that can ruin a person socially and financially, though.

@jon-nyc said in 1962: We're a net importer of beef. That's what she said.

All sound like wise steps. Throwing money at it clearly does not help. If what you're doing is not working you need to change what you're doing, not what you're spending.
