Geez, who would have guessed that Democratic legislation promoting Green would not be an environmental reference, but would actually be a reference to the cash being dumped into the trough for the grifting pigs 🐖 to slurp up at their convenience. Sure looks like that spigot is being turned off by DOGE, in which case the Democratic grifters will have to seek out another scam or, horror of horrors, get a real job!

On paper, you’re right…but how many of the grifters actually have skills that translate to the real world? Methinks there will be a noticeable bump in unemployment statistics by Q4 2025. Bummer.

Market is becoming bi-polar, tech jobs and “flipping burgers”. As the tech jobs become more intricate and AI takes away human jobs (forget learning to code) less people are needed. The Dems used the grift noted to put people into bullshit jobs, and DOGE is quickly finding them and eliminating them. A word of warning to the Trumpers, you better come up with a plan to re-hire them into meaningful jobs. Obama wanted a service economy and the Dems kept the public quiet by giving minimum wage scales…

Where in AZ does one find a $10 burger? Not here in Prescott. Maybe the single at McDonalds, but a proper one at any sit down restaurant will set you back $20. The 2-egg breakfast is spot on at $16 and on up. What’s $5 for two little strips of bacon as an add on?

Other essentials: $10 for a 6-pack of any reasonable beer. Ammo? Hell, $1.50 a round for any magnum pistol and $0.50 for 5.56.

If you ain’t cooking at home and reloading yer shit, than you’re either pretty well off, or scraping to pay the rent.

Took my wife and daughter out for a Saturday morning breakfast at a local Denny's. I remember when a "grand slam" cost $4.50. You got two eggs, a sausage link, a slice of bacon, hashbrowns and two butter milk pancakes. Today? $16.50. Plus tip, breakfast at once affordable Denny's cost me over $64.00. What does this do to the economy? Well, for starters it means I don't go out to eat nearly as often as I used to. Going out to eat now has been limited to very special occasions.

Remember the $5 foo…
