    Direction of the US

    We believed in American Exceptionalism. We really did. I agree that somehow our elected officials went along with measures that led to a growing gap between the middle class and the top 1%, and that this gap is creating a host of problems, particularly for younger generations (my kids are in...

    Do you not even realize this simply documents EXACTLY what I said? As I said, the 12k loss was from July 2024 to July 2025. Note: 2011 to 2020 are based on Census 2020 Vintage data and differ from Intercensal estimates; please see About the Data for more information. 2021 to 2025 are based on...

    Perhaps you should look up the statistics, because that is just not true. Those kinds of numbers aren't available with that short of a time lag. The only 12k loss I see is from July 2024 to July 2025 which was well before he was elected. Numbers since then are not available. Also, the two...

    Direction of the US

    I expected questions of economics to be discussed, argued, and dealt with in the manner they always have been. Nothing shocking at all. It is, however, a shocker that so many Americans are so filled with anger and hatred. It is a shocker that we would enthusiastically elect and support one of...

    250 year celebration of our nation’s birth

    Not enough attention has been paid to this. "America 250" was a Congressionally created organization to plan celebrations for our 250th anniversary. Admittedly, the general malaise over the majority in this country was going to dampen the spirit of the celebration. But Trump could not stand...

    Direction of the US

    Despite the dismal economic outlook, my chief concern is the absolute loss of our American ideals. I am depressed at the country we are leaving my children; it seems that for some time we have not been the nation I thought we were, and it saddens me deeply. The America I have know for nearly 70...

    i was going to ask if anyone else noticed the resolution is way better these days. I rarely played because even if I know exactly where a city is based on geographic landmarks, the fact that I couldn’t see those landmarks made that knowledge useless. My hometown is on the Mississippi, and I...

    Hey old people, quit being so slow at everything

    All of our utilities charge a service fee for using a credit card, which is higher than them rewards. Other than that I agree with you, although I use my rewards to pay for vacactions,

    https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/hey-old-people-quit-being-so-slow-at-everything.8835360/post-185834475 I thought this was common knowledge but there are enough people questioning it, perhaps it is not.

    Hey old people, quit being so slow at everything

    There are multiple reasons. The ones most often cited are the fraud protection that a credit card affords you. If somebody obtains your credit card number and makes purchases you a)have no money directly removed from your checking account, and b)can have those fraudulent charges removed. With...

    Hey old people, quit being so slow at everything

    Well, while I am astonished that this has happened to you twice, don't use a debit card for gas purchases. That's rule number one with debit cards: only use them to withdraw cash. Second, thinking this is treating you like a criminal is silly. The purpose is to make things easier for you...

    AOC mocked after she claims no one can ‘earn a billion dollars’: ‘Her entire salary is stolen from people’

    "So, you tell me my reasoning skills are lacking then argue a point I never brought up or mentioned. Great." Again, you fail to use basic reasoning skills. You said I must be "far left" because of my view on gender identity, and so I demonstrated that my views are anything but far left. Which...

    AOC mocked after she claims no one can ‘earn a billion dollars’: ‘Her entire salary is stolen from people’

    Your reasoning skills are lacking. Yes, there is a wide chasm in opinions on that subject. But the fact that I see it as inconsequential in the long run means I am "far left" is illogical. In fact, while I wholeheartedly support the rights of trans folks, I do not agree with the very concept...

    AOC mocked after she claims no one can ‘earn a billion dollars’: ‘Her entire salary is stolen from people’

    I would guess not -- the consequences of gender identification on our society are tiny. Of all the things going on with this administration, the only people who mention gender ID are the ones who know they can't defend MAGA and so they deflect with trans folks. It's the only bullet in their...
