    The official "WTF" thread

    Worse than that... In a lot of places I've lived, you couldn't get a single one into the ground without hitting a large rock that would need to be dealt with. Not sure how that would work in such conditions. Where I am now, most of the rock is sandstone, so it should penetrate easily (Arjun...

    Inflation still remains a little high, but it has definitely come down under Trump. There is no question about this. It's all a perception problem. People seem to have the unrealistic expectation that things will go back to pre-2020 prices, which is ridiculous. That will never happen without...

    Healthcare

    Exactly. Someone I know posted a quote from some dipshit doctor about not requiring HepB vax being akin to canceling one's auto insurance because they haven't been in a vehicle accident lately. One of the worst metaphors I've ever seen, since the presumption is that there is a random chance...

    I don't think that cancelling increased subsidies enacted during the Bidum bAdministration will lower costs, but why should we increase the funnel of taxpayer money to the insurance companies that ObumblesKare is (and always was)? It has to stop. ObumblesKare was doomed to failure from the...

    Was about to be mad at the garbage truck crew...

    My bet is that someone didn't want to drill their front bumper to mount the plate, so they used magnets instead. I knew a lot of people who did this.

    Nobody said, "ONLY" about drugs. In this case, violation of an embargo.

    Very many think, even from the first day it was implemented, that ObummerKare was designed to fail in order to give "proof" that we needed a severely rationed, long-delay, government-boondoggle system like in Canada or the UK.

    Most hospitals are non-profits. They use this insanely marked-up billing as a write-off to maintain their status. It's perverse, but it's what the system is.

    I beg to differ. FDR was NOT a "great" president... Far from it.

    Or, it will be like the last time they "gave" away free money, and a good number of us didn't receive a red cent.

    Good. Now do the same for the Democrats. The TL,DR version is... Same shit, but even worse.

    Seriously... I don't give a fuck what people "think" in this case. If groceries are more expensive, it can be shown by comparing prices... that would be known as a "fact." Asking someone's opinion of a "fact" is utterly ridiculous.

    Flock installed LPR's without permits and has now been banned from operating in two states

    To be pedantic, these cameras do NOT "track" people. They are at a fixed point and can tell that a vehicle passed that point. Additionally, there is no expectation of privacy while driving, as has been determined by the courts long ago. And if ICE wants access, I say, "fine" to that. Local...
