Interesting that more than half of all nursing home resident have not received a booster shot this winter despite the fact that the vast majority of deaths are among seniors. The booster shot is paid for by the federal government and they will even send people to administer the shots. It is also supposed to be mandated by the Feds too. The SAME people who are saying get vaxxed are the ones who thought it was unsafe when the vaccine first came out! People don't know what to believe anymore. I'll never get vaxxed. https://skillednursingnews.com/2023/01/couldnt-have-happened-at-a-worse-time-nursing-homes-struggle-to-increase-booster-rates-as-covid-surges/

Just read an article that there has been a 30% increase in heart attacks among people 25-48 in the last 2 years. Many people believe it's the vaccine.

I don't have diabetes yet but I was pre-diabetec. The doctor told me to eat beans and it definitely helped me. I buy kidney beans and wash off the sauce (especially if it's Goya). Then I mashed them into a spread and add a little olive oil to give it some moisture, then refrigerate. Then I spread it on whole wheat toast and a little mayo and it actually makes a pretty good sandwich. You can add lettuce and tomatoes too. It lowered my level to near normal.

6 month T-Bill is at 5%.

Exactly! But the cabal of bedwetters lost their minds to an opposing view and wanted it shutdown. All they had to do was to avoid that forum like I avoid other forums. A bunch of insecure cowards, THAT is what they are.

Listen to you.....lmao.

The members that like this shutdown are the ones who have been complaining because they were losing the argument. "Everyone is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage" Winston Churchill

How about a separate forum with a separate password needed so the moaners don't have to see it at all and make constant complaints? Like an underground Fight Club. What will I do without my learned pals like @BOZO T CLOWN @pubic_assistance @BSR @bigjoey etc.

I've seen some in print and nothing on the local TV news. Nothing. It's not a headline news anywhere.

For God's sake don't accept pills or drinks from anyone you just met.

The authorities did not issue an alert about these crimes which have been going on for a while. Victims Families Furious At DA Bragg For Stalling The Investigations • Instinct Magazine

This is not new. Been going on for over a year. A total of 6 people have died. The news barely reports it. I mentioned this many months ago. https://www.foxnews.com/us/new-york-city-gay-community-high-alert-string-alleged-druggings-robberies-two-deaths

The news is reporting that Julian Sands is most likely deceased. Very sad for him.

I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but 5-10 year Treasury TIPS currently pay a "real" or "fixed rate" of 1.25%-1.30% plus the inflation rate. I say currently because the bond market decides what the fixed rate is and it changes all the time. IMPORTANTLY, these bonds will fluctuate in bond price value until they reach maturity, at which time the fixed rate plus the CPI will be credited in full but in the meantime there will be price fluctuations in the par value (not the case with Savings Bonds). ALSO important is that you should buy these bonds at auction or the most recent auction. There's a reason for that but it's too complicated to go into. In SUMMATION, if you buy a 5 year TIPS at the next auction and the market decides to buy these bonds at a fixed rate of say 1.25%, then in 5 years you will get the 1.25% yearly PLUS the CPI adjustment yearly at maturity. AGAIN, these bonds fluctuate in value so if you don't hold them to maturity you could have a problem.

Depends on the interest rate you would have paid. Some car companies are still offering 0.9% interest through their finance arm. But it's certainly up to you if, for example, you don't want to be bothered with monthly payments.

Good news. People don't know many things about Baldwin's negligence in this matter. He was producer of the film and hired non-professionals based on family connections, allowed live ammunition to be used in prop guns when not filming, actually pointed a gun (that he did not inspect before holstering) at another human with his finger on the trigger, and allowed loose (and highly visible) gun handling safety practices by the armorer on a daily basis with no oversight. On top of that, he can't keep his story straight or his mouth shut. Like most venal people, he believes things are never his fault. The irony here is anti-gun activist Baldwin shot and killed a woman and he did it without pulling a trigger, according to him.

He played a good warlock. I hope he's ok.

That park is known for rough trade and dudes on the DL I’m not surprised at this. Hard to imagine a city where people don’t care about the crime epidemic in their midst.

Sad that a person's life can come to this.

Maria Callas was fantastic!!

OMG, isn't that Stalin??

"Only"....that's a big reduction. Congrats!

That's an amazing reduction. Congrats!

Straight men are fabulous. They don't like what they are doing but need the money and will therefore perform. Their masculinity is great, especially military and ex-cons. And most of them love to yap (mostly about themselves of course). The majority of them aren't "disgusted" by it either because their inhibitions are almost zero.

Agree, but his and others target audiences were not 5 year olds.
