What I hate is stores that give the price per unit in ounces. Especially when it is in pounds elsewhere, like the more expensive one the price will be in ounces so then you have to multiply times 16 in the store in your head it is super annoying.

It is not even going to be like a civil war, we would need organized opposition for that. This will be a Reign of Terror. Almost all one way persecution of an ever-expanding group of people. Unless of course they lose control in 2028 but that seems increasingly unlikely given the same , unpopular, and sold out establishment leadership still controls the opposition party. No ambition let alone any fight, not a single Challenger for house, or senate, or even the presidency when anointing a candidate that never breached 30% popularity with four months to go. We were offered no reform, no fight against the people openly screwing us. Same worsening Healthcare and Drug system, Silicon Valley tightening the screws, and so forth. Not even a single fucking issue. They did not personally call out a single company or their leadership in any strong way.

Not a chance any of them lead a campaign to protect Americans from getting hurt.

What we need is a sort of Federated true populism. While my beliefs line up more with the progressive DSA type populists, they are not right for every District especially given how they are LED to oppose them. We need populism across the country tailored to District cooperating together on what they agree on to reach a critical mass to just take the Democratic Party and force the rest into going with the program. Once they see which way the political winds are blowing they will fall in line as well.

Populists opposing allowing the rich to ass fuck working people without their consent. And dishonoring the bill of rights, etc. With a big emphasis on those financial interests screwing us being brought to heal one way or the other. If they can legally charge us more than everybody else for drugs, we will hit them for other crimes that they commit type of thing. Call them out by name.

We need candidates tailored to their districts in other words in general agreement on the need for reform. With decent candidates and even a modest number of people in that District organized for them along with a national Federated Forum where we could cooperate on what we agree on, we could unseat perhaps the majority of these establishment Democrats and the Republicans in the general election.

$10? Jesus. Many of these big box or City grocery stores have always had really high prices especially on some Goods. All of the name brand cereals are especially High everywhere, Kellogg’s and Post Cereal are like twice as high as the generic brands. Which for things like Raisin Bran are about the exact same cereal. Granola is the only one I have noticed a quality difference on.

I sort of quit milk for the past 18 months or so but if I get back into it, whole milk in the winter tastes really good when you work outside, I might just make my own granola. And by 50 lb bags of grain if I can find them.

Those supporting the Democratic establishment unwilling and unable to do what is necessary to take the country back from the fascists let alone fix anything are the ones supporting the fascists.

Ignorance is no excuse for betraying America either, I’m very disappointed in you.

He is definitely a shadow of his dickish self in 2020. She is running on auto dick at this point. Which changes nothing, the party is running the show which is even worse in a way.

But whether he remains propped up or not, 2028 might be our only chance to unseat these guys before they rig the elections to the point where they will forever remain in power. Vance will not end with it, not without a fight and he will not win that fight whether he inherits it or not.

The nest of vipers will see a bitter fight that could be our chance to take it from them if we had a popular reform alternative with some organization behind it, and some guts and muscle.

The Democrats are not that so disabuse yourself of the notion that Newsom.is acceptable. If he had what we needed he would have stood up in 2024 and claimed the nomination, and he could have won then. Not now.

Half may be too high. At least in those that would be pulled over right away with a populist alternative Reform Party. A lot of these True Believers, which I do believe are about half of the Republican electorate, that believe more than not of the bullshit, can be pulled, look at Marjorie Taylor green and her base. She opposed the war with iran, she called out and opposes the genocide in palestine, she is opposed to go engineering such as spring sulfur dioxide into the upper atmosphere to block the Sun, and she is for releasing all of the Epstein documents. As delusional as they are, with a better alternative they would support something other than what they do now.

But the cynical ones, which includes a lot of the business oriented republicans, comfortable people making good money that want to fuck the poor just out of General principle and continue to increase their lot would not support that reform alternative unless it was clear they were going to win which would not be when it would be most needed, the first time around.

A lot of religious people would support a popular reform but so many are so misguided by their religious leaders they will not. I would not Hazard a percentage guess. Negligible amounts of evangelicals and Calvinists, a significant number of Catholics would support it but the Nationwide Catholic leadership is pretty hard right the pope notwithstanding.

The methodists and others may even support it in the majority.

But with current leadership and strategies we will never find out. It was hard enough to win a more honest election, now we need a more commanding majority to overcome all of the election rigging they will be doing on every level, as well as controlling at least one house of Congress so they cannot vote their guy in any way even if they cannot rig enough states to take it outright.

Also we need a very muscular approach to fighting election rigging and answering it. Meekly asking the courts is not enough. Voters decide elections, not courts. Should be the rallying cry on that.

The business and political elite, near all ivy league members in secret societies to distinguish them from the non ruling class aristocrats let in because civil rights laws, were targeted in this israeli honeypot to compromise them.

It explains a lot in the support for that county’s ever more extreme actions. And their arrogant capricious bullying and persecution over disagreeing with our policy of unconditional support in both parties.

If that info leaks, and other kompromat, the hold will falter.

We need non crooked politicians that cannot be blackmailed from every angle anyway. At a minimum we have russia, israel, and prez’s fixers blackmailing them, without even considering what biz groups know. I bet oil knows some shit, and silicon valley.

Did you miss the election rigging and projecting that on the opposition?

Or subordinating media. Or their nurturing paramilitary groups to use like black shirts?

There is maybe one longshot chance in 2028 and we do not have leadership that can pull it off, still suckling at the teat of the establishment grooming newsom as the next weak sold out non reformer aristocrat to run on I am not the other guy offering empty platitudes not attacking the oligarchy or threatening their positions.

Vance will not end with supreme leader, he will be pushed aside by the base for a different asshole.

His payment is russia not releasing evidence of his fuckeries, be they of underage kids or whatever else.

People do still trust the doomed to fail establishment dems though. No pushback on annointing kamala on bad faith arguments that 4 months was not enough time. Not a single challenger.

No challenge for senate leadership, none for house as new leader was handpicked by old.

The party is broken. On the prez no one would cross the establishment, afraid of bad faith bigotry allegations of stepping over the first minority woman, nevermind she was unpopular across the board, never breaching 30 pc approval, offered no real reform, attacked no one s rewing us.

I am done trying to help these people. I want to help real leaders that can win.

Americans only like what is going on because they have been misled to blame the wrong people for our decline. They trust the wrong people, we all do to different degrees, the sheep of the dem party especially.

If a strong reformer faction ran a true populist campaign, channeling anger towards it’s actual source, half of those people would join us. They want to attack the people screwing us. Without strong populist opposition to this plutocracy they will continue to be misguided.

That does not hold for evangelicals and some of the religious right perhaps they are fucked in the head and want to see the earth drown in lakes of blood and fire for the rapture.

I do not use my car for weeks at a time, but I need one in the country especially, also in the city when there.

He is directly emulating hitler, acheiving more of a mussolini. Fuck what his supporters think or how they respond.

Guy is a scaredy cat, he decamped to bunker in 2020 because of blm protesters marching.

Then ordered military to shoot them, was rebuffed, ordered to just shoot them a little, was rebuffed. Military agreed to tear gas and some violence to defy their rights to protest.

No one will rebuff him long today. They all think the republic is already dead.

The CPI has been changed a number of times over the past 5 decades, each change lowering the rate. By the old rate just in 2008 social security checks would be on average some 1,200 more a month.

Aldi is your best bet if nearby. More than 50 a week outside of rice and beans meals but you will not go through 50 a week of cereal. Admittedly their granola is lacking, but it is hard to find good granola anywhere.

The gym is such a waste of energy. With proper form you can get that workout doing useful things. For charity if nothing else.

I am looking for places to buy 50 lb sacks of people grain, especially barley. Feed stores sell them but idk what chemicals they use. 20 bucks at feed stores for ag.
