May inflation came in lower than expected...so trending in the right direction.  This news coupled with multiple retailers dropping prices and gasoline prices plummeting (I paid $3.19 last week in Michigan) all suggest things are going well economically.  I still don't see the Fed dropping interest rates imminently...maybe later in the year.
US inflation cooled in May in a sign that price pressures may be easing
APNEWS.COM Inflation in the United States eased in May for a second straight month, a hopeful sign that an acceleration of prices that occurred early this year may have passed.

Soft.
Filler doesn't help you get harder or have a firm feeling cock.
Guys who do this need therapy, not a needle in their dick.

At least two of the dancers at Johnson's FTL have had their dicks filled with something.  One of the guys is from Argentina and the other from Italy.  

I lived in Miami for the winters of 1998 to 2003, after I had retired. The winter weather was gorgeous. So glad I got to experience that. 

Yea…Florida just isn’t the place to be anymore. Summers have gotten way too hot and winters are seeing increasing amounts of rain and cloudy weather. South Florida used to be reliably lovely from November through April. No longer the case. 
 
I still go to South Florida for Johnson’s…but I really don’t like spending my gay dollars in a state that doesn’t respect or value me. I wish there were more options elsewhere. 
 
weather and politics aside, I don’t know how an average Joe can even afford to live in South Florida now.    Who’s going to wait on and provide services to all the people with multi million dollar homes if an average person can no longer afford to live there?   Inflation has been running higher in Florida than any other state for a while now. 
 
I’m glad I lived in Florida when I did (the 1990’s) and got to experience the lovely winters. I would hate to be stuck there now given the plethora of horrors going on now. 

I don’t go to saunas at my age anymore but back in the day a lot of sex was going on in the actual saunas. 

while anecdotes are interesting & are part of the story - it’s generally more useful to look at market trends.  Since, beginning of 2024 - home prices are up in San Francisco 3.7% YTD according to the MSN story provided.  No telling if this will be sustained or not.
the big difference between San Francisco & Florida - SF has jobs & income to support high home prices.  Florida does not - the Florida economy is driven by low-wage jobs in service & tourism.  Florida’s real estate sector is based upon speculation.  San Francisco economy is driven by global technology & finance - more billionaires per capita in SF than any where else.  And it’s not just billionaires - the very high incomes of tech workers in SF supports high home prices in a very small city with a finite supply of housing.  
The problems in SF will eventually get fixed.  And Florida will remain Florida, dependent on nonstop & unregulated population growth to sustain the real estate speculation, which has already peaked. 
both areas have a long history of boom & bust real estate cycles.  no surprise SF is seeing a bust now. 
 

I'm not thinking of anyone in particular...but curious about what restrictions are put on a convicted felon.  Can they vote?  Can they travel out of the country?  Can they hold a passport?  Drivers license?

About 20 years ago I met a porn performer (can’t remember his name), his penis looked much, much worse than that pic posted above. I actually thought that pic was a decent job of filling.
This particular porn performer had a very lumpy, uneven, penis. Yes, thick….but ugly. He regretted the decision to try and enhance it.

Well it seems that many of the potential restrictions a convicted felon could face can vary widely dependent on the state where the conviction took place and also the type of crime that was committed. For instance, firearm restrictions likely apply for a felon convicted of a violent crime…but maybe not for a felon convicted of say a financial crime.

That's not correct. While the term "convicted felon" may be removed by the legal process, as the process drudges along, the term is still valid and official. Now when it comes to punishments or sanctions, sometimes those are withheld during certain appeals.

apparently - some convicted felons can possibly still run the country if elected 🤷‍♂️

This  link to the New York Bar Association provides a good synopsis of how a felony conviction affects individuals in the State of New York.  It covers a myriad of topics.  
 
I found it interesting that in New York you are considered “civilly dead” and not eligible to get married if you are serving a life sentence.  Who knew!

Gentlemen, You’ve been politely asked by a moderator to keep politics out of this discussion as we do not permit politics on this site. In addition, the OP requested the same. 
No one wants to see this thread locked. I’ve already taken action on 2 political posts. 

Fortunately the US judicial system has mechanisms to prevent people from suffering from clearly biased court decisions.
As we see above,  the ability to say that phrase "convicted felon" is being weaponized. So the court of public opinion may attempt to take away rights someone may otherwise have.
 

Turns out multiple retailers are actively lowering prices currently.  Think Walgreens, Walmart, Ikea, Amazon, Aldi, and others.

I totally agree.  I hope you take names of those that try to drag this into a not allowed discussion simply because they want the thread closed.

no, the original thread question asked if a  CONVICTED FELON  could vote, travel internationally, hold a passport, hold a drivers license....... we already know that CONVICTED FELONS can hold the top public office 

Says the one who started a "not allowed discussion".  Too funny.

And when the politicians and the Fed talk about inflation, they just so happen to use the core index which excludes food and energy.
