I think I saw that they pumped interest up to like 21% at this point to control inflation. Could you imagine? It's like 7% here in the US and it has made me -very- content with my current vehicle and house.....

If I weren't already not shopping at Walmart, I would be excited to begin not shopping at Walmart in response to this. Can't win 'em all.

Basically all the land is already owned by corporations or farmers with generational wealth. Where will the farmers farm?

Agreed. Maybe race had nothing to do with it, but the news headline obviously suggests it is. If it was racism, why not just call it out instead if alluding to it?

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

It's more the fan in the compressor/condenser in the back, hah. I just said vent because it was simpler for a title.

Well, I just saw a news article today about how Trump was immediately going to kick every trans person out of the military. Also been seeing articles for years now about Republicans trying to ban sexual realignment surgery even for adults. So what more proof do we need that there's a problem?

We're probably going to be seeing articles like this coming from the US in a few years. Probably.

Take notes

I feel you... but without "growth", how will all these children get job, and how will we get promotions?

Not every county, city, or location has this rule.

I feel you, but also, they'll have less money too. Some of them will lose jobs and go hungry in the interim, and I'm not going to try to argue where the "appropriate" starvation balance is. But it -will- happen.

No matter how you slice it, it simply ends in America's living with a "lowered" quality of life. The reason we buy things from overseas is because it was cheaper and nobody wanted to pay for the expensive American version. Even the current high-end American products we have will find themselves struggling when people have to pick and choose what they can afford going forward.

I'm also a little indifferent about the whole thing. I just think its going to be hilarious if it goes down and people end up struggling even more after voting Trump. I'll have my schadenfreude-popcorn ready constantly to munch on over the next four years.

If you explode a baby's head with a gun, let's just skip the trial and send 'em straight to prison for the rest of their life because there's nothing left for you in this world. Your humanity card has been withdrawn.

Been trying to cut premade/prepackaged food out of my diet lately because of health, but also because of this sorta thing. The closer the food is to its original form, the less opportunity for middlemen to come in and take an extra cut.

Yeah, I am a little concerned about that too, but I can tell you that it is going to take YEARS of work to gut legislation like that. I am hoping that even with a Republican trifecta, they still won't be able to agree on and accomplish anything because they all hate eachother.

Why are you assuming my gender?

I can tell you're just going to need some months or years to think it over.

Can't wait until they fire the employees i need to review my environmental permit submittals and then can never get another project started legally ever again without risking insane amounts of fines four years later when the next administration comes in and hires new people.

Almost sounds like it's fine when people choose, but is a problem when people are forced. Odd

Humans also do not die when they are shackled and locked in a dark room for years or decades, as long as you feed them. How is you argument sounding now?
