  what do you like about biden's build back better agenda & the democrat's build back better act?

  is it liberal and progressive enough for you or do you wish it would go further?

  https://www.vox.com/22711083/biden-reconciliation-build-back-better-polls-infrastructure has some comments about it.

  Its core intent is to rebuild the country's infrastructure which has declined over the years and create jobs in the process.

  It's being called an "infrastructure" bill, but in reality infrastructure (roads, bridges, airports, etc) are less than 10% of the spending. It includes things like raising taxes on businesses and the middle class; it includes paying for free child care and elder care; it includes requiring banks to report ANY monetary transaction over $600. (Currently this is set for $10,000 CASH transactions.)

  It is said in reality it will cost taxpayers over $10 TRILLION, which will likely jump-start the high inflation we are already seeing. Most here are likely too old to recall the Jimmy Carter years in the White House. Inflation was over 14%. Mortgage interest was as high as 18%. This Biden Boondoggle will bring the same kind of results.

  Very few things from Cedars are worth the investing of over an hour of one's life. This is one of the exceptions.

  (Thank you, Simon, for leaving up it for us to view. I know you're not a fan of Cedars.)

  Differences, on average, between men and women

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  quite bizarrely, there are people trying their level best to blur the lines between man and woman, male and female.. so, i thought it a fairly good idea to list the differences, on average, between men and women.. ok, starting with the most obvious .... women have a vulva, a vagina, and internal gonads (ovaries); men have a penis and external gonads (testes).. women get pregnant, give birth and breastfeed their babies; men do none of those things.. men are taller than women.. men have greater upper-body strength than women.

  men have greater bone density and percentage of muscle mass than women.. women live longer than men (this is partly due to life choices and behaviour and partly due to genetics).. men have higher testosterone levels than women.. men heal more quickly from physical injury than women.. the sexual dynamics between men and women tend to be different, too.

  re sexual selection, women typically have their choice of the most suitable men.

  Yes, women live longer than men as is evidenced by the fact that most married men die before their wives. But most often it is because they want to.

  A group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations

  a group of 136 countries set a minimum global tax rate of 15% for big corporations.

  that is a major goal accomplished by the biden administration.

  seehttps://www.wsj.com/articles/countries-agree-to-global-deal-to-curb-tax-avoidance-11633709979 .. if corresponding legislation gets passed into law in the usa it will be much harder for corporations doing business in the usa to move their operations out of the usa to avoid paying their fair share of taxes.

  Hasn’t everyone noticed what happens when fuel costs go up? Business raises prices on everything to cover the increase. (Ie, chicken is said to be 12% higher now)

  Can you guess what business will do when they face higher taxes that reduce their profit? The Government rakes in more money. But YOU THE CONSUMER PAYS THE PRICE.

  You had already faded into the sunset (of time) by a year passing without posting. Now you’re back at the top.

  Best advice is just “go away”.

  Don’t go away mad. Just go away.

  Good luck to ya!

  i can't believe william shatner is 90 years old but doesn't look like other 90 year olds that i've met.

  is it genetic?

  is it lifestyle.

  1995 generation change

  by Gorb in

  now, many years later, i remember the 1995 generation change, very well.. since early youth, hearing my father explaining in field service the 2520 years.

  it was his main theme in the field.. with the change my doubts started.

  with some jw friends we did not trust the organization anymore.

  That generation change really caused me to change my outlook on my employment situation. I had "jobs" until then. I figured the end was so close and I didn't sweat about the future.

  Sadly, I see so many JW's who still live like that. I think of one couple, now in their 60's, who have refinanced their home numerous times. Each time they pay of credit cards and buy new furnishings and take a vacation but end up with a higher mortgage that they think they will never have to pay off. And they are correct about it in one way........

  They think Armageddon will bail them out on the mortgage so they won't have to pay it off, but in reality they will simply die in debt -- but at least they won't have to pay it off.

  SEX BETWEEN CONSENTING ADULTS NOT WRONG

  by JohnTron72 in

  i replied to a lesbian on the quora website who tried to state that god destroyed sodom because of the violent rape the people were trying to commit, not because they were homosexuals.

  her argument perperuated so often was that it stated nothing about sex between "two consenting adults".

  but, instead of using the bible scriptures such as a man shall not lay down with another as a woman, i used something else you never hear anyone use.... i told her to look to genesis 6:1-4 .

  Here is the PM I received from the OP and my reply:

  QUOTE: I know War, ect is bad. The Good thing is...with homosexuality rising so quickly at an all time high, it shows how close we are till God steps in again and clears the earth of them all. His purpose will be all that is left, and then only the righteous. Isn't that great!
  

  REPLY: Go blow smoke up somebody else's ass. Or go "count your time" somewhere else. I've been hearing that shit for over 60 fucking years. JW's have been preaching it for over 120 years. And Christianity has been espousing it for Centuries. It's always RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. You're fucking delusional and you don't even know it. Have you missed your Depakote? Just like all the "Old Timer" faithful JW's that I've known (and many of whom I respected) thru the years, you too will die thinking IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
