I'm back on here. I initially took two weeks off to complete my college semester. Then I extended my time off by four more weeks to focus on the book I am writing. Then I took two more weeks off to farm. I needed the break. Everyone should take occasional social media breaks.

@Arkypatriot We are already doing those things in the dark in the winter. Problem with the current system is we also return to that bus stop/commute in the dark. Let's try to fix it and give one trip in the daylight. Year round DST.

Permanent Daylight Saving Time sounds nice until winter shows up. Across much of America, that means kids waiting for buses in the dark, people commuting in the dark, and millions starting their day before sunrise for weeks. Your body needs morning light to regulate sleep, mood, alertness, and health. We already tried year-round DST in 1974. People hated the dark winter mornings. Extra evening daylight is nice. But forcing the whole country to wake up in the dark all winter? That’s not healthy. Be careful what you ask for

@jimscard We don't have that either way under ST because of how winter is. Go year round DST so we make the best of the situation and get a little bit of light after work.

@llwtydeer Mostly because they can only do it that way on their own and they want to erase a time change. Also, for many parts of the country--such as mine--noon comes the furthest from noon during ST. In my part of the country it comes between 10:30 & 11.

@CenTexLib Don't lecture people. We know what we're getting into. I know I speak for myself when I say I want more daylight at the end of the day. It's dark when it's time to go to school/work either way in quite a bit of the year. May as well get to have some daylight at some point.

Zohran Mamdani is 34 years old. YOUNG PEOPLE CAN LEAD EFFECTIVELY. You don't have to be 70 with "life experience" to do a good job.

@DemzDeliver He should put this kind of energy into lowering taxes on rooms. Currently, to have a hotel room in the city you pay almost 6% above the normal sales tax rate.

I've really come around on the idea of expanding the House in the last 18-24 months. It would cost some money, I'll admit, but it would also fix a lot of the problems (such as the now infamous Massachusetts Gerrymander problem). The Half Wyoming Rule would probably work best.

@micah_erfan I wish the blue state of Illinois would do this. There are potholes everywhere here. Makes it worse since we are taxed to death to supposedly fix the problem. It will get worse come September after those taxes will no longer go to that cause. Democrats really do ruin things.

Since 1993, boomer presidents have presided over almost 27 trillion dollars in national debt, or 67.5% of all debt. Biden presided over almost 2/3 of the remaining US debt not added under a boomer president.

That's it. The "she's for they/them, Trump's for you" furthered the fallout, but these are the real reasons she did not connect with voters. These reasons made her, the Biden administration and the entire DNC appear untrustworthy and incompetent, and people voted accordingly.

I can do this DNC autopsy much simpler than they are. Here's what did Harris in: -Biden dropping out, then anointing Harris -Harris running a campaign that tried to appease everyone too much. When she brought Liz Cheney on stage to campaign for increased taxes, I knew it'd fail.

@BrianCostin @GovPritzker True. I was in MO & KY last week. I live about half way from Chicago to Memphis. Gas across the rivers was an average of 4.19. Gas here is in the 4.80s. Diesel is 5.89-5.99 most places here and the only $6+ diesel I've seen is in my county.

Nope, you are wrong. Prices downstate are NOT "just about the same" as those in surrounding states. Here is a live look at gas prices by GasBuddy. This is an Illinois high-tax problem, and @GovPritzker and the democratically controlled legislature are to blame.

Mr. Ouchy@NeverBeGrounded

@BrianCostin Partly? Sorry, the BULK of it. For decades gas prices are higher the closer you get to Chicago. And when you go downstate, the prices are just about the same as the surrounding states. Still the case. Has been for decades. Perhaps you need to have a good cry and get over it.

@DemzDeliver I guess unions securing stuff like this and negotiation over benefits at hiring, as well as selecting a job which offers benefits and adequate pay is just unnecessary now.😞 Just let the government be your union and negotiator.

@CameronCorduroy The other half is in a cult, too. A good 97% of Americans are stuck in one cult or the other. I'm old enough to remember half of July 2024 when every other Dem post on here was "primary 2026" when they called for Biden to drop out. Plus lining up on order for Harris.

Primary runoffs are a thing I think the South does right. You shouldn’t get nominated just because low 30s % of the electorate voted for you in a race with seven different candidates.

@_sn_n I've spent plenty of time in red states and have never seen this. However, as a blue state resident, I get to pay taxes to fund services which I then have to pay a fee to use-such as my library. Everyone pays the tax, only a small area gets it for free. Blue state sharia law.
