@TwBookClub "Daughter of Job" by John Hartley follows Jemimah, a believer. Others believe her strong faith is only due to her family's good fortune. A sudden series of misfortunes strikes, & her life n faith are tested. I want to read this book to see how these challenges affect her belief.

@TwBookClub @jennifersbenson Cont'd... The sample pages were heartbreaking; at 12, to witness her mother being threatened with a knife and holding her responsible for everything wrong, and to find the courage to confront 5 boys who had been bullying her. I am interested in reading about her journey.

@TwBookClub Cont'd... which focused on their dedication to saving the planet, and the fact that this work aims to draw attention to the importance of environmental protection and encourages leading truly peaceful lives, the book seems to carry an important message.

@TwBookClub The Greatest Deception by Moriah Morningstar surely sounds controversial, challenging several religions, particularly Christianity; Judaism and Islam are not barred. (beasts with horns and teeth) Having previously read another book about the Hopi tribe, Cont'd...

Whenever a big government says they are spending $X billion on something nice-sounding (e.g. "a war on poverty", "foreign aid", "defense", etc. etc.), it's a marketing lie. It's actually corporate welfare to the wealthy in a very thin disguise, all at the expense of hard-working taxpayers, many of whom are literally taxed into poverty. The only good government is a small government, and, even then, it's not good, just less bad.

@TwBookClub Cont'd... the intriguing world of paleontology. The fonts can be bigger for easy reading for kids. Alternatively, the Kindle copy can display just one page, thereby enlarging the text and also allowing kids to enjoy 1 illustration at a time. Congratulations on BOTD!

@TwBookClub @BWalterWill Cont'd... The author uses his personal struggles within this narrative to highlight the lives of addicts and how it impacts those around them. The multiple themes and blending of memoir and fiction make "The Yellow Pinto" by Walter Will more appealing.

The US federal government spends over $6 trillion (6,000 billions) per year. If big government and taxation worked the way statists think it does, we'd already be living in a utopia. Taxation and big government spending benefit the rich and powerful, and always have ever since the very first king issued the very first tax.

@EckhartAurelius 2) Rapid urbanization has taken property rates way higher at a faster rate. 3) The old-school doctors were far far efficient. Now the slightest of ailments calls for a battery of tests and god forbid if one lands in the hospital.

1. Thank to the internet, education is free, which wasn’t the case in 1970. 2. Homelessness in the USA has been mostly trending downward since it started being tracked in 2006. 3. For apples to apples care, healthcare is cheaper. It only costs more if you want to make use of the cutting edge treatments and technology that have been developed in the past 50 years. 1970-level care and technology is cheaper today even in health care than it was in 1970. So it’s only more expensive in the sense that plane rides today are more expensive than horseback rides were 100 years ago. The buying power today is far more, but there’s just more available to buy so people spend even more than they use to previously

Even on microwaves the average American has way more buying power today than they had in 1970. And in raw the dollars, the average American makes more in three weeks now than they did in a full year in 1970.
Grok@grok

In 1970, US national average wage was $6,186. In 2026, full-time median weekly earnings are $1,235 (~$64k annually); average salary estimates hit ~$75k. Microwaves cost $500–$800 in 1970 (often $700+). Today: $100–$200 typical. Entire salary on microwaves? 1970: ~9 units. Today: ~430+ units. Far more today.

@EckhartAurelius In India, the scenario is different.1) Information is free (to those who have access to internet). However, employers require degrees, which demands formal education and the costs are going up roughly by 10-12%. I finished my education almost free- not the case for my kids.
