In case anybody cares, I'm keeping count of the right-wingers going out of their way to poo-poo any good news about the economy and or inflation. so far 4 out of 4 right-wingers have done it. Go figure.

Nobody is "poo-pooing" any good news, and certainly not "going out of their way".
Pick one day a week and act like an adult.
If you think people should celebrate in the street for gas prices that are still the highest in the history of humans, you're absurd... Especially hailing a president who has accepted responsibility for absolutely nothing since election day.
I don't think that at all, but the right is quick to discredit dems and Biden for what was mostly Covid, Putin, and Trump's BS that put his admin in this mess. So when I point out things are turning around, I should be able to do it with the same amount of zeal y'all use to try and tear him down every day. FFS I was busting GOPer balls... do I need to draw it in crayon for you to get that?

Poor Joey. Dealt such a horrible hand. You're definitely phrasing correctly though... "things are turning around", because he's certainly still doing nothing but pointing fingers.
I'd say yes, but I'm afraid you'd probably eat the crayons.

Touche. But he definitely didn't cause much of what's going on, like Donny and his pal Vlad did. You can't argue that point. Unless you truly do need a crayon map.

Now you're catching on... I learned that from Trump, the hard way. YOUR TURN. First POTUS ever to constantly bash and threaten half the country. Psycho sicko fascist asshat.

If you learned it from Trump you haven't been paying attention.
By first rule I mean, it was the first one ever created. It applies to all politicians since time began.

Yep. Everything "going on" is Donny and Putin's fault.
Hopefully you and your party continues to cling to that narrative, it's gone over like a fart in church so far. Just make his next campaign slogan "I didn't do it" since no matter what the question is (good or bad) it will be 100% correct.
Oh, I agree with that 100%. Trump is just the first POTUS in my life to take it to the extreme and weaponize it against half the citizens in the country. Not to mention the businesses, other non-political people, and organizations he harassed incessantly.

At the moment there were a few, but over time he turned me sour on them too. I think he's a straight-up traitor and should be hunted down and shot on sight personally. He has proved to me that he is rotten to the core. And believe me when I say I was a hardcore Republican until 2008. I used to think all dems and progressives were tree huggers. But I hated what the tea party was and did, and I blame Bush for the 08 crash that cost me a ton. I still like him, but he was inept as hell. Later I realized he had forces working against him that wanted to drag the party far right. Then I was done. I called myself an independent, but the more I started to watch politics closely and saw things I never thought I would see in this country, I evolved into a progressive. I think the government should be more about taking care of everyone and not just the rich and powerful. I've seen too much suffering in my years to continue turning a blind eye to it. And I think our system, at this point in time, is fundamentally broken and needs a complete overhaul.
However, like some on here would have you believe, I'm neither big on "handouts" nor "free rides". But I am big on leveling the playing field, ending suffering, and providing everyone equal access and opportunities to climb the social ladder. I don't think a quality education should be limited by money or where you are born or who you know. This is my biggest pet peeve in America. The dumbing down of America is plain to see and IMHO will be our undoing. But there are quite a few other things I fully back. I'm not big on the culture of the LGBTQ community, but I damn sure believe they have the right to live how they want to live and love who they want to love (age appropriate of course). And I think the solution to most of our problems should start with a STRONG social safety net, again not for "handouts" but "hand-ups". Anyone can fall on hard times, have health issues, make a mistake, etc. Things like that should not wipe you out or make you less IMHO. And we as a nation should do our best to make everyone a productive well-rounded member of our society. It's that simple to understand where I come from. But I don't have all the answers, and nobody I know does. This is where we need to come together and get past the divides and hate. I feel that if we can't be reasonable and rational people who choose to work together instead of tearing each other down, IMHO we're doomed as a nation.
However, I've never been a fan of the kumbaya guys who act as if they want to come together only when things are going their way. I'm more of an oh-hell-nah in-your-face guy right now, who can hopefully return to a work with you guy when the crazy BS is gone. In my lifetime, the divides have never been this bad. Additionally, I REALLY do think Trump is a traitor and a mob-style criminal idiot.

rude.
well, I'm not a "right-winger" and everyone else knows/understands that except you.
Blocking those who argue to argue, eliminates the argument.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
I feel the need to show love to trees now after chopping the one up in my back yard that went down with that crazy windstorm we had last month.
Conversely, I had one drop a branch last summer right across where I was about to build a fence. I found out that the same tree dropped a branch that caused the the previous owner of the property to get off his tractor and subsequently get run over by it. I said "nuh, uh, tree... not happening to this guy" and I cut it and eight of his closest neighbors down, just to be sure.
Browns is the Browns
... there goes Joe Thomas, the best there ever was in this game.
lol dead ass bro, i was looking at all the land for sale in the area, definitely easy to put up a solar farm, just need the capital. i think the community scale solar programs are interesting because people will buy in as long as the solar panels aren't an eyesore on the neighborhood. or some of these sales that are like 20-30 acres, massive tax breaks and its mostly just clearing out the land (obviously the hard part) since installation is pretty straight forward. either that or the utility scale.
i've been hesitant to go all in on the actual property investing, but something like this would be a layup for SBA loans and grants.
just thinking out loud for now, though. i mean we were supposed to become pirates and go jack some russian yachts, but only purp was down and we got a schedule to maintain.

Americans Who Can’t Afford Homes Are Moving to Europe Instead
More Americans are relocating to Europe, driven across the Atlantic by the rising cost of living, inflated house prices, a surging dollar and political rancor at home.
Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece and France are among the most popular destinations. Sotheby’s International Realty said requests from Americans looking to move to Greece rose 40% in the April-to-June period compared to a year earlier. In France and Italy, US demand is the highest it’s been in at least three years, according to Knight Frank real estate specialist Jack Harris. And Americans made up 12% of Sotheby’s Italian revenue in the first quarter, compared to just 5% in the same period a year ago.
(Thes are just the first two paragraphs, much more info in the free article)
Tech allows its talent to work remotely. I can see this becoming a trend across a couple of sectors; Tech, Entertainment, and many Professionals whose jobs will give them the opportunity to work remotely or internationally in foreign offices.

If they can’t afford a home in the states, it’s about to get painful for them in western Europe. The prices are even more higher than here.
Now if they have the mindset of “well if imma rent anyway, might as well be somewhere with better <pretty much insert anything>,” then I completely understand the decision to bounce.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
They are targeting smaller towns I think, it says something about it in the article.
‘Bella Vita’ For Atlanta-based Stephanie Synclair, 40, buying a home in Italy was a long-time dream that came true this April.
Paying $3,000 a month to rent a four-bedroom house for herself and her son in Atlanta, she found it impossible to scale up and become a homeowner as prices skyrocketed, even though she had $300,000 of cash on hand.
She turned to Italy, a country she always loved, and was able to buy a 3,100-square-foot house in Mussomeli, Sicily, as well as a smaller home next door and an 800-square-foot storefront — all for 60,000 euros.
“I would never have looked to buy in Italy if the market in the US hadn’t been so crazy,” the entrepreneur said. She plans to work remotely and imagines a “bella vita” of good food and wine, along with a local literary club and art space she plans to launch in her storefront, “reminiscent of Paris’s art scene in the 1920s.”
The average price of a home in Atlanta reached $404,575 as of June 30, up 19% from the previous year, whereas an 800-square foot property in the Palermo region of Sicily cost 86,560 euros on average, according to real estate platforms Zillow and Idealista.
“The rising cost of living has made it more expensive to live in any major US city than in European cities,” said Michael Witkowski, vice president of US-based expat consultancy ECA international. “Expensive home prices as well as a strong US dollar and political tensions are all contributing factors to the growing allure of Europe.”
