No Wonder We Can’t Afford ANYTHING!!!

When I was young I would hear that for the U.S. to maintain our leadership role we need to continue to invest in our people. That faded and we heard we have to invest everything in Wall Street. We can’t have high speed rail because petro chemical companies and Wall Street Said no. Nothing gets done in this country unless the wealthy and politicians get their cut.

Buy functional not flashy ! Skip the frills. Buying new is buying CRAP with fancy wrapping !

You will own nothing and like it!!

Turning everything into a subscription service or rental after establishing what should be illegal monopolies and cartels was totally worth destroying the American social safety net, shared public places, infrastructure, public schools, and everything else for the public common good.
We really haven't thanked Reagan, Bush, and Republicans enough for the food that makes us sick, medical care that puts us in debt, overall declining quality of life, and the war on education that has exposed how the rich business leaders are mostly just conmen who desperately want to replace us all with machines because they think keeping us in economic slavery is too good for us and too much work for the new American aristocracy

Ask the farmers about the John Deere tractor apps. They have to deal with. The company turns off their track Their tractors after they bought it if they feel they went to a unreputable and unapproved mechanic who spends over $100,000 for a tractor and can't use it cuz the factory shut it down

China isn't really communist. It's mostly capitalist, albeit with a totalitarian rule now and massive surveillance. But as for the US infrastructure – it's hard to afford infrastructure when the country now owes so much in interest alone that it eclipses the total gross national product. The US is flat broke, and the too big to fail thing only goes so far. Furthermore, spending a literal and actual 2700 billion us dollars annually on the war machine makes it real effing hard to pay for the desperately needed infrastructure repairs.

The Way I see it is that everyone has their handout in everything and that's a good portion of why we can't get shit done I consider that in the red tape area

stelantis sounds kind of palantir adjacent

3:07 We drive nothing but older Mopar vehicles because my husband is a great mechanic, but can't work on the new computerized crap. The problem is it's getting harder to get parts 😢

Dodge. I had a Ram 1500 magnum, Pre-Y2k, pre restructuring. At that time Dodge used the cheapest abs they could, and the dash panel dissolved and shattered into a thousand pieces of 8-12" stilettos. Dodge said they were out of the loop after the bankruptcy. Simpler times. I'll take those problems yesterday over a vehicle that can self repo itself, or wants you to blow into a tube when it get's lonely today.

Just think about digital games. I had 156 digital games on my playstation account. But sold my playstation and all those games are gone, i cannot sell any. Paying $150 for a new game that comes digital only to lost any control of said game. Have to have ps plus subscription even to play them.

TACOMA
One word.

Sorry to hear about the Dodge. I’ve got tix for your Raleigh show in June. If y’all would like a reminder of what real muscle is, your welcome to take a spin in my Mustang. (Sorry to be cheeky, I don’t do bow ties or hemis) 🤭. Just make sure your seatbelt is on or the car won’t let you listen to the stereo.

Side note on cloud storage fees and photos. I have a non-Apple laptop and an iPhone. At one time, my photos were stored in the clouds of Apple, Google, and Microsoft (b/c I’m an idiot) AND on my laptop and phone (5 matching sets of pics). I’m still working to eliminate them from the clouds.

Everything digital and connected will become subscriptions. It’s like the day to day reality seen in The Running Man and other similar movies.

I know you’re gonna find this hard to believe by the sounds of it even harder to do, but it’s a simple fix. Just don’t buy the product!

Train was supposed to go from Sacramento to San Diego.

I hate APPs.
I still use a DUMBphone.
I refuse to use apps.
I refuse to pay for subscription only software.

New cars are junk. They want you to buy a new one every couple years. And your renting not owning.

😊🎉

The 1942 USDA film, Hemp for Victory, will reduce unemployment, reduce taxes, reduce prices, reduce government spending, reduce pollution, and stop fascism, war for oil, and climate change.
I don't get paid for telling you about this. It's a 14-minute WWII government video on a government website that has been public since before i was in high school.
Does anyone want to solve any problems or just complain about all of it?

Heh, simple fix, buy analog, it's not on subscription. might be hard to find, there are analog scales and seats…

Lucky the famine means you will lose weight anyway.

USA. Greatest country on earth.

Err, No.
