We haven't had rain for 8 months im Perth and our lakes have dried up. It's quite dire here... I start having a severe panic attack worried for our wildlife...

They are both pretty, especially the one on the left.

What do you think?

It's a unique looking bird.

Both are substitutes that were touted as a much healthier solution. My mom was on the margarine bad/butter evil bandwagon decades ago. I kept telling her it was bad for you and viola! I was right again!

I'll not be a guinea pig for this stupid shit. Mark my words, it'll turn into a shit sandwich. I'll take my hamburger cow grown.

FA/FO I suppose.

Almost half of American families don't have a dedicated retirement savings account, according to the Federal Reserve's 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances. The survey, which includes the latest government data, reveals only 54.4% of American families reported having dedicated retirement accounts such as a 401(k) or IRA.

While it's possible they may be saving for retirement outside of these accounts, few survey respondents reported having other investments. For instance, only 1.1% directly hold bonds and only 21% directly hold stocks.

Many Americans relying solely on Social Security benefits to carry them through their golden years may be in for a rude awakening. The average benefit for a retired worker is $1,907 a month, according to the Social Security Administration, which works out to $22,884 per year. This isn't far above the 2022 poverty threshold of $17,710 for a person over 65 in a two-person household, per Census Bureau data.

Quote from: Oerdin on May 14, 2024, 03:42:45 AMCalifornia's gas tax already goes up every year automatically as it is indexed to inflation.  Yet Democrats have so over spent there is now a $65 billion budget deficit and $24 billion in unemployment funds are "unaccounted for" meaning stole by fraud.  Now, Democrats could seriously reduce spending to balance the budget but instead they want to raise taxes which are already the highest in the nation.

They are pushing a new $0.50 per gallon gas tax on top of the existing  $0.511 state gas tax and the federal $0.184 gas tax.  Of course, lying Democrats say "it is to fight climate change" when all it will do is feed inflation and make life still more unaffordable

They should raise it an entire $1! I wanna see what the fuck it takes to finally get people to revolt. If they dont revolt, add $5 fukin dollars to it!
