Thanks! Excellent read on economics. Mises' statement, "Understanding economics is the key to preserving civilization" rings so true. I'm just waiting for the free market.

Dr Zhivago playing live on Broadway and most streets in NYC. 🥸

Yeah, about all that money. Something big time truly hypocritical starkly appears to be going on.

Interesting. Austrians welcomed the pure blooded (white European)
German invasion in 1938; are they welcoming the opposite now?
Will the trains run on time under Islam?
I think it's the wish of the EU political masters in Brussels
that have encouraged the invasion, not the Austrians, just as
the American people have had no control over immigration here in US.

I will argue you do NOT have "health care" premiums.
You have "Health Insurance" premiums.

I did the math on what Health Insurance will cost us (59 & 63) until we die.
We opted out. We have DNRs. Nobody in my family BEFORE my father had "Health Insurance"... When United REFUSED to pay for my medical bills (the first time I went way over my deductible) after 12+ years of paying the premiums... You realize you are NOT truly insured! I paid > $15K out of pocket that year, plus $12K in premiums (Just for MY insurance, my wife had a separate policy).

SHOCKER: Dropping insurance, we've noticed the Rx costs WENT DOWN!
If you have Rx insurance, I 100% recommend (my daughter does this, now).
You go to ANOTHER unrelated pharmacy. And do NOT register your insurance with them. Tell them you are uninsured. Things like Metformin are $30/mo with insurance, and $6-8/month without it! (AND the pharmacist is NOT allowed to tell you that it's cheaper without your insurance, or that it is your insurance making the price go up!!!)

Obviously this was 3-4 years ago we dropped the insurance. We are willing to take the risk because both of us would prefer to stay outside the system than LIVE IN the system at this price point.

The average person spends 80% of their LIFETIME medical care in their last 6 months of life, and Medical Expenses are the #1 cause of Bankruptcy in America.

And it 100% matters where you are. In the hills of TN, for example, you can easily pay a doctor directly for service and get much better rates than in NY City or any big city. But there is certainly a cost to moving.

NY Is 100% the reason our forefathers warned us that we must have an educated populace.

When people are too dumb to predict and comprehend CONSEQUENCES... They will vote for Gallows, and weave their own nooses thinking they are hanging their neighbors, and will get to divide what is left amongst themselves.

Remember: AOC Knows socialism works, because HER and ALL of her socialist friends are Millionaires! The bigger the Socialist (Sanders), the more they have!

While visiting Kyoto Recently, we were hit with the RARE Snow Storm. Decades since they last saw snow like that. It cancelled two of our outings!

Now you all know why they changed the name from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change". The latter is so generic as to make it visible anywhere.

Growing up near Detroit in the 70s. I remember 28 inches of snow in one day. We had 3 days of school cancelled. We made an IGLOO that was 5 foot tall in our backyard. Every neighborhood friend was helping. (We had a big field across the street). It was the MOIST packable snow. They would ROLL up a big wheel of snow, put it on the sled, and drag it to the back yard.

It was a super rare storm to drop that much snow. A few years back, I remember a slightly lesser storm there, and the news was reporting "We've never seen this kind of weather... So extreme." With the masses parroting this baloney.

A well phrased attack or lie, works best without DETAILS that allow it to be attacked. (Calling Trump DARK worked. Because the meaning of Dark is malleable to each person. Everyone can pick what they mean, and NOBODY can make a single statement that refutes everyone's internally held belief). BTW, this is the essence of brand marketing. "Built RAM Tough". Ever drive an actual ram 5,000 miles fully loaded. It would die.
But most people think of the horns and the bony head... (When was the last time you needed to RAM your truck into something to get home?)

FWIW. Enjoy the weather while you can.
I believe historians will mark these days as the days that lead to (or preceded) "some kind of new world order".

I guess the Austrian's wishes for a multicultural society are coming true and they are experiencing its fruition. They should have been more careful of what they wished for. Same for all of Western Civilization.

I got up yesterday morning to a rare and beautiful sunshiny day here in western NY only the temperature was 11degF. Our area hasn't yet received the global warming memo. Sigh.

This is true. It's a tough decision being between a rock and a hard place. In my 70s living in western NY it's a huge expense and risk to escape, but the slow creep of communism is making it expensive and risky to stay. It wasn't always like this here where I was born and raised, but things are changing! Some of the problems are nation wide like inflation and fiat currency and obummercare ruining the health insurance system (my health care premiums are nearly double), so it matters not where you are.

Looking forward to that hug some day 😁. This just arrived right after the first one. Must be sunspots...🤪

Thanks Carl. I just now got this comment in my email😅. This past weekend I enjoyed a great fundraising breakfast with group. They are super***

Me dino thinks you figured right. Some hard lessons has to take up a lot of time before sinking in for enough people to wise up and to do something about it.
Yet also, that learning process can also be offset by too many stubborn Mamcommies who lack the common sense to learn squat.
Not to mention those who can't let go of power over others once they have it.

Hold On. They've spent decades explaining it.
More CO2 = More Heat. Runaway heat will melt the ice at the south pole and raise the oceans.

So, please explain how "More CO2 = More Snow".
Make it make sense for me.

Because you are just proving you are liars about the Climate Change Hoax. Al Gore was wrong on EVERY prediction. (Still SNOW on those mountains, Still have skiing in the USA, FL is NOT under water, etc. etc. etc.)

And finally. If HUMAN CO2 footprints were important. Then the LEFT would never support allowing 30 MILLION illegals go from a NEAR ZERO Carbon Footprint to the USA (giving them the highest Carbon Footprint possible)...

EVEN IF their children were starving, etc. etc.

Because if the left believes in ANYTHING. It is that killing humans to save our planet is perfectly okay. The fewer humans, the better.

Again. Their ACTIONS confirm their lies. They NEVER believed C02 was the end of us. It was a tool to cripple capitalism and fund their friends!

Many of the innocent and ethical rationally people have always felt they did not have the money or assets to move. Soon they will realize they do not have the assets to stay!

BOTH. I vote for both.
First, it jams of Iran and the Mullahs. I've known quite a few people from Iran. Very educated. They were basically chased out of that country.

And China does import almost 80% of it's crude oil. We just took Venezuela off line for them (no more discounts). Not sure how much oil gets shipped to china still...

And now Iran. A big provider of Oil to China.

The downside is this means they will buy more oil from Russia. the biggest problem they have is their "non-exportable" currencies. But the banking ties between these two countries are sufficient. Even if the exchange rates might suck.

But I think it is clearly BOTH.
The difference with Trump...
He is not picking a PUPPET Leader. He wants the Iranian people to pick.

And did you SEE those celebrations?
Some of these people seem genuinely happy!

And Honoring Trump by doing his dance move!

Dino, only you could make this into something that would get a chuckle out of me! We must have the same repressed adolescent tendencies. Well said Sir!

Well, I certainly did not vote for this, or this guy ... I live in Arizona. I think there was some consensus, the New Yorkers are going to get what they voted for, yes? I figure that the quality of life in NY will continue to degrade until enough individuals decide to shrug.

If Trump is not making this move on Iran because Epstein got the goods on him and he's doing as Mossad says to do, the other scenario is one the oligarchs have always wanted: get established in Iran, use it to foment Muslim uprisings in the neighboring Caucasus to create civili wars in Russia.

Same scenario NATO used to smash Yugoslavia into pieces. Once Russia is in civil unrest and chaos, NATO steps in to "maintain order" and the oligarchs have access to the world's greatest storehouse of minerals, oli, gas, rare earths, and control of the Eurasian land mass.

But the most the EU and NATO can do with Russia now is ban their flag at the Olympics.

Hah, if I were a betting man, I'd bet NYC has been corrupt since before the British left.

Why not. NYC has been supported by corruption and thieves for more than a century.
Time for just desserts. I hope the innocent and ethical rationally move soon.

The fourth Amendment is dead. It has been replaced by Socialism. Mondami's election in NYC demonstrates the peoples vague desire for the protection of the State. And for that protection, people are willingly surrendering their privacy and property. Why? I don't know. Do you?

Most ideas and countries and empires have not lasted beyond 250 years. America seems hellbent on finding its place on the ash heap of history.

Do it! Take over. Implement the worst policies in US history! Ruin the place and demonstrate the failure of these policies!!!!!!!!

The worst is the best!

No. No it is not.

This action is because Iran refused to abandon its nuclear ambitions. They previously misjudged the US political position -> weak Biden, Oct 7th, but ... Harris didn't win.

I don't know why we put up with these idiots for 50 years. Iran is alone on an island in the Middle East, and a proper outcome, should put an end to the overwhelming turmoil there.
