Read and Read

Pain and Pane

Brake and Break..........this kills me. :shakes head:

Next to Social Media, the biggest killing of this Country’s grammar is auto correct. Hell, they don’t teach cursive anymore. I guess it doesn’t matter anymore due to the fact that this new generation has never had to sign a paycheck.

This Country doesn’t need “gender studies” majors. This Country needs ditch diggers.

Who are you going to call when your septic tank backs up? A Social Worker? LOL!

well its 1pm on a sunday
yeks, its almost gone
enjoy the rest and enjoy the moment
:)

Enjoy the rest of your day brother..

its a beautiful day here in south florida.. we're blessed to be alive.:tup:

How many know how to write a check? They taught us that in high school. They don't teach it now.

You know what else kids cant do these days? Not be an entitled pain in the ***.

I believe my generation (Millennials) would be the last generation that knows how to write and use a check.

"Twelfth-graders now are more like eighth-graders from previous generations, waiting longer to take part in activities associated with independence and adulthood, according to Twenge. They are less likely to go out with friends, drive, go to prom or drink alcohol than Gen X 12th-graders were. They are more likely to lie on their beds and scroll through endless social media feeds. They may be physically safer, but the long-term effect on their mental and brain health is a big question mark.

Twenge told me that she 'saw just a very, very sudden change, especially in mental health but also in optimism and expectations … between millennials and iGen or Gen Z.'"

So we now have 8th grader-mentality when the new generation legally enters adulthood :shakes head::facepalm:

So, Sew, Sow

Rite, Write, Right

Oh yeah, we also don't know when/how to use who's, whose, and whom.

Off topic: help me understand this debt ceiling crisis…

From what I understand, Social,Security and Medicare will still be paid since they come from a separate trust.

From what I can figure this is like having a credit card that you’ve spent up to your limit. You can call them and have you limit bumped up, but if you continually spend up to your limit and make only minimum payments (interest), you are NEVER going to pay that card off.

The republicans in congress are willing to raise the credit limit to pay what is owed, but insist on cutting spending.

IOW, your $1000 credit card gets its minimum payment BUT you can’t charge anything else to it. You need to stop spending money you don’t have.

Can someone explain to me why the Dims are so opposed to this? It makes perfect financial sense. Why is Brandon dragging his feet on this? Other than he’s a demented moron….

Who did he think was going to pay for all those TRILLIONS of dollars he spent on pet projects like “infrastructure” “a foreign Country’s borders” and “inflation”?

From my understanding, yes, you are correct about the debt ceiling and the credit card analogy. I am under the impression that the debt really got out of hand with COVID and "free money".

Regarding SS and Medicare, I've read both that it would and would NOT be affected :confused: Not like if we can ask anyone because we've never been in this type of situation before lol.

IMO, they want to raise the debt ceiling AND not cut back on spending because they have an agenda to finance and fulfill (i.e. student loan forgiveness).

Can anyone clarify this?

good afternoon on a Monday :)

I can’t find any diminutive answers, but it looks like if we default, the stock market (and everyone’s retirement funds) will take a massive hit.

My IRA has already taken a 20% hit since Brandon became pResident. Brandon already said he’s “blameless”. I don’t see this ending well for anyone. Brandon and the Dims are hell bent on destroying this economy and taking the country with it.

To be clear, the below is not about understanding the debt ceiling, it's about the constant need to drudge up politics....

I'm sure Trips will be checking up on us.:wtf2::wtf2::wtf2::wtf2:

How is this politics? It’s about my country and my money, sweetie.

Easily offended, huh? You still mad about those couple of mean tweets?

:hello::hello::hello::hello:

Have a Bud Light and relax, Bruh. Let us know what’s happing with Florida sports.

How is this politics? This is more of a financial/economy topic, which BTW, would also affect you and everyone else.

There's no definitive answer to this, as though the US has been very close to a default a few times, the US has never actually defaulted on its debts before, and thus, no history/playbook to refer to on a default aftermath.

So IF a default were to happen, this would be a first.

IMO, it wouldn't just be the stock market/retirement funds affected. It would affect everyday life of everyday citizens globally. I don't even want to imagine the potential chain of events that could possibly be set off by a default :shakes head:

I noticed he didn’t answer my legitimate question. Couldn’t even quote the entire post…. :owned:
