@BDUN175 @DriveEmMild @Empty_America Nah we don't need multiple levels of government on the local level. It's wasteful

The rust belt won't truly recover until they hit bottom and do some type of "clean sheet" reorganization of the local government mess.
It's a Pozi scheme, the net payers trickle away in u hauls, the ticks are starting to out number the dogs.

@J_Donduan @DriveEmMild @Empty_America Townships are the least expensive type of governance, by far.

@5150Farms No one's going to borrow you much against what you have in the stock market. They will against the part of the land you have equity in. Stay cash poor and land does just fine as an investment.
English
Does buying land make sense ?
1 acre example
$10,000 an acre and pay cash
Takes 30 yrs for the land to generate enough $$$ to pay for itself
Or invest that 10,000 in the stock market for
30 yrs and that 10,000 is now $100,000
And in 30 yrs that one acre is now worth $20,000 an acre ???
Now let’s do it when you put $5343 down payment
borrow $4657 so you have $300 an acre payments to bank for 30 yrs
Pay $4343 in interest
For a total of $14,343 invested into that 1 acre
Value of land in 30 yrs $20,000 per acre ??
Now invest that down payment of $5343 for 30 yrs
You will have $53,764

@dianavs44 @nicksortor Walmart has their own trucks, some of the most strict hiring requirements, and pay their drivers well. The drivers targeted in this are not Walmart drivers.
English
MAGA folks won’t be rejoicing when their Walmart shelves are empty. Nor will they rejoice when American truck drivers with increased bargaining power finally earn a better wage, demand safe hours, unionize, and insist on more leave to spend time with their families. All those things are decidedly ‘anti-American’ and socialist to many of you, and increase costs for consumers, which will be, alas, yet another thing for MAGA to whine about.
English
🚨 BREAKING: American truck drivers are REJOICING over the news that 200,000 “migrants” will be losing their trucking licenses
Migrant licenses are being NON-RENEWED, opening up spots for more AMERICANS.
Not to mention making the roads safer.
THIS is America First 🇺🇸

@cdiedrich23 @Thewhitesmoke @NHTSAgov I never will understand why people don't do that. Too many people try to pass at intersections.
English
@Thewhitesmoke @NHTSAgov Generally what I do is block both lanes if nobody is coming head on to reduce the likelihood of someone trying to pass from the rear. It can be very difficult to see behind you in farm equipment.
English
Who does this at an intersection of all places?
Trying to save 20 seconds just cost this driver hours. Over 500 people die every year in passing crashes per @NHTSAgov. Most happen on rural two lane roads like this.

@zachglabman Felt sorry for the classmates that went to the big companies. Couldn't go out on the floor without getting a grievance, couldn't learn anything from the shop. Glad I spent as much time in the shop as possible, and thankful for the old crabby guy that taught me how to machine.

@_TheMizzouTiger rockauto. local napa sold and we don't get decent prices anymore.
English
@_TheMizzouTiger They don't want you in the store! Why pay tellers, stockers, security, etc. for one sale when you can have a $14 employee picking shelves for 10 customers like an amazon warehouse worker. And then have a "club" price for free delivery.
English
There are more of those than people in the store now. Heck we went into NKC to grab some parts last night and stopped by 54th grill and the take out line was 20 plus cars deep. I want the old America back.

I was at Walmart earlier and I swear those employees with the big Spark shopping carts that go around picking items for online orders are constantly in the way. One of them had their cart parked sideways across the aisle while they were scanning items, and everyone else had to literally squeeze by just to get through. It amazes me how some people can have zero awareness of the customers around them. The store is already crowded and instead of moving their cart to the side, they just leave it wherever they feel like. At some point that stops being ‘doing your job’ and just turns into bad customer service. Honestly I’m probably going to say something to the front desk next time because if your job is to shop for orders, you should at least do it efficiently and not block entire aisles for everyone else. Am I the only one who notices this or does it drive anyone else crazy too? 🤔

@MaxROIFarmer Gas turbines go "brrrrrrrrrrrr" You still need the turbines, even if you have solar.

Question I would have is how long does it take to get back running and is there enough reserve generation capacity to fill in if a big storm were to take 1-2 large fields down.

Solar panels at a solar farm in Wheatfield, Indiana, were destroyed as severe storms, including possible tornadoes, swept through the area Tuesday night.
English
@MaxROIFarmer It'll be overturned in the courts, but that doesn't matter to the nutjob religious type down there. They don't have the manpower or money to inspect every house that has guns, and lots of sheriffs will slow walk them. Pandering to idiots, but that's what gets votes in MN.

Across the country, Democrats are moving to ban some semiautomatic rifles as well as large magazines. The most extreme legislation may be in Minnesota, which could not only ban sales but also require current owners to agree to home inspections. jonathanturley.org/2026/03/11/min…
