Then they get all pissy over businesses leaving due to the shitty laws. Apparently its racist to not want to be stolen from.

The TP thing started years ago with Johnny Carson one night. On his show. He was joking around and said that there was a TP shortage. People the next day cleaned the shelves out. The shelves were empty for over a week or so.

As a minority, quite frankly, I'm getting tired and annoyed about other minorities using the race card constantly. It's really starting to get old.

The TP and cleaning sections were wiped clean for months out, like a year before we started seeing replenishment in my area. Wal-Mart, Publix, Costco, CVS, Walgreens, etc. were all out. Then came the meat section where this was wiped clean for a few months.

"McDonald’s is upgrading its burgers."

"The upgrades apply to the Big Mac and the McDouble burger as well as the classic cheeseburger, double cheeseburger and hamburger."

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I guess I will find out on Thursday on whether these "upgrades" are worthy.

stay away from it kin folk, its bad for you.:iagree:

I remember there being a limit on TP and cleaning products and the cashiers had to put them aside to make sure everyone was playing the by the rules.

Costco had someone constantly next to the items and they would hand you 1.

"IMF: Banking crisis boosts risks and dims outlook for world economy."

"Already, the global economy was grappling with the consequences of high and persistent inflation, the rapid rise in interest rates to fight it, elevated debt levels and Russia’s war in Ukraine. Now, concerns about the health of the banking industry join the list. 'These forces are now overlaid by, and interacting with, new financial stability concerns,' the IMF said, noting that policymakers trying to tame inflation while averting a 'hard landing,' or a painful recession, 'may face difficult trade-offs.'"

"In a separate report published Tuesday, the IMF said that while the rapid increase in interest rates was straining banks and other financial firms, there were fundamental differences from the 2008 global financial crisis. Banks now have much more capital to be able to withstand shocks. They also have curbed risky lending due to stricter regulations."

One of the very few times where I will say an article does hit on the key points somewhat accurately. There is a recession coming, no question about it. Esp. Millennials, when "recession" is heard, they think of 2008, and this upcoming recession won't be as bad as the Great Recession, but people will still feel the effects of it. And notice how they mentioned "hard landing", when the higher ups from the Feds and Treasury still talk about a "soft landing".

I thought it was common knowledge that the majority of people who vote for Democrats don't pay taxes. :confused:

The Democrats haven't hated a President (Trump) this much since Lincoln took their slaves away. :hello:
