I’m Willing to Read....

[baddog]

....just about anything I find interesting, even if I don’t happen to agree with everything in the article. This one has a bit of left leaning to it. I can overcome that simply because I am a free thinker, but I still like the article as a whole. Let me know what y’all think about this. I have already witnessed some of it, especially the advertising.

I ve read half of it will finish later. 
 

that’s why I don’t watch much tv or pay attention billboards. 
Gimmicks don’t influence me or my decisions

even the music I listen to I’m very picky about because constantly listen to certain lyrics over and over can change you 

environmental influences that are constant and repeated will change a person.

thats why I stay out in nature as much as possible and leave the electronics to others.  If it wasn’t for my wife I wouldn’t even have a smart phone (going on 2 years)  and I’m probably younger than half of the posters on here maybe more

Nature and the Bible is all I need the rest is just fat and sugar

" We can do it locally in our communities, in what organizations we support, what truths we tell, and what events we attend. And we can do it nationally in our government, in which leaders we vote in and to whom we give power. If we want cleaner air, we can make it happen. If we want to protect our doctors and nurses from the next virus — and protect all Americans — we can make it happen. If we want our neighbors and friends to earn a dignified income, we can make that happen. If we want millions of kids to be able to eat if suddenly their school is closed, we can make that happen."

 

Translation-  Bigger government can make all this happen.    I hope none of you falls for the "suggestion" that poverty can be eliminated.   It exists, to some extent everywhere.   The "promises/suggestions" listed above are quite similar to what Venezuelans were told not that long ago.

Like I said, I didn’t agree with everything. Still a good read. In any article, you have to wade through the BS.

No need to finish it. I read it. Threw up. Read it again to fully understand it. Threw up again.

Lol. Rather than throw up, I try to digest it in order to see the angle. I can always disagree.....like I did.

I was more interested in the commercial side of it. We are already experiencing it. Just saw a Weather Tech Mat commercial. I happen to own a set of these mats and think they are fantastic. Now their commercial talks about the safety of their mat due to the non-porous surface, which can hold germs. Please, enough already. Like the article said, get ready for it.

Yep. Wasn’t throwing any shade. The guy writing it needs to go drown himself though. He was doing what he is accusing everyone else of doing. 🤮
