My condolences to his friend but cool off youngster II (to you).

Condolences for what?

I don’t give a damn idiots who take drugs.
I don’t give a damn about idiots who are criminals who get shot
I don’t give a damn about single mothers with 5 kids by 5 different men.

The only card I have draws on one of my accounts. I have no payments on anything.

Just electric, propane (if I use any), AH , groceries,... etc.

What I don’t get is blaming a useful drug and not the person injecting it without an Rx.

  I have a procedure coming up next week,they will undoubtably be using fentanyl for post-op pain.


Guess it’s just easier to blame something,anything instead of take personal responsibility. I think all drugs should be legal and let Darwin sort them out. It would end a costly war and take the profit out of the equation, on second thought we can have that now can we…

The deal with DS's rant wasn't so much his grief but it being his excuse for running to the forum and selecting another member of the community here to blame it on (for political reason). RotBaron's follow-up hissy over the lack of compassion that it was supposed to elicit was just as disingenuous. But come on now. It's nothing new.

Zach hits it on the head when he/she rambles on about America living off credit..

I remember back in the early 80's a credit card was something you had to qualify for and it wasn't easy.

The wife and I finally got a Montgomery Wards card and thought we hit the jackpot!

It had a very small limit as it should have.

Years later as our sons became teenagers they received credit cards in the mail without even asking for them!

Yes I would say the majority of Americans live way beyond their means and on credit

This crash should shake that up

in the 80s, credit cards came in the mail.  you didn't have to apply. as long as you had good credit.

think baton Rouge is 45% republican, 55% democrat. or something like that.  only city I checked.  which I think trump won.


semp

Yep.  (A little more precisely, there are some independents, so is 55.5% D to 42.5% R, but close enough.  Baton Rouge voting in last presidential election was 55.5% Biden, 42.5% Trump.)

However, once one party is 10 percentage points more than another, that party can dominate the politics of the area.

Mayor for Baton Rouge has been a democrat 9 out of last 10 times.

Alright you've caught me. I'm a cannibal. Having Chinese tonight.

After my first degree I was in a bar down London way and some of my ex classmates had programming jobs in and around London. They started taking their wallets out and adding up who had the most credit. One of them literally had those concertina wallets with about 12 cards in it. I just quietly shook my head without moving it. My Grandmother said neither a lender nor a borrower be.

Zack can I lend your Lambretta?

So I  guess back then zero credit was good credit as they didn't make squat were under 19 and lived at home...

Like I said I think that was the beginning of the abuse of credit that has gotten us to the overspending living beyond your means we have now

Credit is great!

Me and the wife use our Amazon card on everything and pay it off to zero each month..

Mortgage paid, both cars paid..

We have always lived under our means...probably as we started with nothing when we were 19 and 18 back in 78

She has balanced the checkbook to the penny every month since..yes I am blessed!
