Absolutely. Infrastructure investment is always a good idea. Its one of those things that isnt visible to the everyday user, but is vital to operation. Like replacing knob-and-tube wiring of an old house. But you are right about one thing, as you yourself illustrated, everyone will qq and produce "heres 10 new problems for every solution" like they are wont to do.

By The Numbers: Biden's $2 Trillion Infrastructure Plan.

The latest round of classes for my kid offered .pdf textbooks, which were very inexpensive to "rent".

Just fyi, you can hover your cursor over your own (or anyone elses) username and choose "find content".

I didnt click the link, but "the economic collapse blog dot com" made me lol.

Wow, I thought he was long dead for some reason. I briefly listened to his radio show back in the 90's. Interesting life he led.

I wish! Obviously, I was supposed to be born into a wealthy family, perhaps royalty even, but alas my reality is much closer to the other end of the spectrum.

Just in case you didnt know, its an olden tyme term for "a wealthy and powerful person, typically one involved in business or politics."

Dear god, its come full circle and Im part of the problem! As far as I can tell, its any individual (that has more than you), corporation or bank. For example, some bank lent me a tremendous amount of money at a laughable interest rate and then gave me 30 years to pay it back. But because they are making a profit off me, they are fatcats that need to be taken down a rung or two and should instead be paying me my due. Or something like that. Im kinda new to embracing this mantra.

I already have a house. Does that make me a fatcat?

EDIT: And she go kaboom.

Being the eternal optimist Ive got my fingers crossed that someone will create a Chicago fund for Italian/Germans. But seriously, when considering the eligibility requirement of the linked program, these families need it a lot more than I do. Im getting by and all, I just dont feel like doing it anymore and want someone to carry me into my golden years. Ive literally had an unbroken chain of employment for 34 years with only sporadic vacations over that span. Is it really asking to much to be provided the basics in life like; housing / medical / education / basic income / food / utilities?

Whoa, whoa, whoa...Im not looking for things that I can do to help myself, Ive been doing that my entire life. Im looking for my birthrights to come rolling in via a generous sponsors so I can better spend my time staring deeply into my navel, or interpretive dancing. You know how we do it in the West...the more you have, the more you need.

Its an attractive, but temporary solution. Eventually they will surpass the average American and move out on their own. Ahahahahah, I slay me. Heres a picture of me right now: Aside, I recently had my dreams crushed. I had it in my head that I was going to retire at 62 no matter the amount of the monthly checks, then I asked Google what age you have to be to retire, and it told me 65 (because of the year of my birth)! GODDAMMIT! Will anyone of you rich peeps (Grom, LC, Hurlshot) sponsor me until I retire? Im pretty easy on the eyes if that helps.

What do I have to do to get someone to cover my mortgage? Not to rub it into the bootstrapless of the world, I sincerely pity the magestic's and KP's of our world, but its my single largest monthly bill and I would very very much like to not have to pay it anymore. Its unfair that homes in my area cost <$something$> and its another of my inalienable rights to be provided a home to rest my weary bones. We need some Universal Free Housing up in here.

"squee squee gimmie everything free" See! This is why I need UHC and UBI. I cant possibly be expected to care for myself and family and its totes unfair that fatcats arent financing my life.

The picture was a copy / paste fail by me, but you found the same article anyway.

My jaw would be suitable slack if they somehow flew them across the Pacific to harass destroyers off the California coast, but I doubt it. But I cant give a hard no either. Maybe you will find out soon? China affirms strong Serbia ties on defense tour of east Europe. But judging from their long flight time and ability to swarm and navigate in poor weather (AI?), I think its a local job.

China cant figure out 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen without stealing the plans first, but they do have economics of scale.

'MERICA!

I agree, I hope theyre our too. Just in case you havent seen the technology yet, the X-59 is designed to fly at supersonic speeds while producing little to no sonic boom. I dont think this it what were seeing in the various UFO videos that the military has released, but kinda cool. Multiple Destroyers Were Swarmed By Mysterious 'Drones' Off California Over Numerous Nights. Due to the location and incredible performance of the drones, these are almost certainly ours. Maybe operating completely on AI? Otherwise, wtf, dont our ships have radio jammers?

^Imo, the military is at least a generation ahead of civilian in relation to technology, so they are all of terrestrial origin and are simply advanced technology. A different topic, but my mind is blown to realize that the Suez Canal has earthen banks instead of concrete! Also no land tugs or anything? Ships are just "free sailing" through there? Madness! That would be a great place to sink a full cargo ship and really booger things up for a while.

Hmm, ultimately I dont think its illegal since youre the intended recipient. But if I were ever in that situation I would ring/knock on the door before taking it. If they didnt answer, see ya later. Everyone around here has a Ring doorbell so I wouldnt want to look shady.

I recently had a misdelivery too. I had ordered a new router from Comcast and one day later I received a text that it had been delivered. Checked the front door, garage door, walked completely around the house...nothing. Then two days later at 0600 I see the package at the front door! WTF?!?! It wasnt there when I went to bed. I notice these little footsteps in the snow leading to my front door and I follow them back, turns out my neighbor received the package and had just noticed and brought it to me. Aside, Comcast "self install" is easy peasy.

To be fair, they were slightly altered to fit the conversation.
