Not only spending in Ukraine while our own borders are being invaded but here too while giving free electric cars to government workers all is tax dependent money nothing to generate it but to kill independent jobs like real money doesn’t matter to them other than what they can absorb.

One of the biggest outlays in the spending proposal is for the IRS, which will get $78.9 billion over the next 10 years to “for strengthening tax enforcement activities and increasing voluntary compliance, expanding audits and other enforcement activities”. The bill text notes that “no use of these funds is intended to increase taxes on any taxpayer with taxable income below $400,000,” though critics have warned that the increased enforcement will fall disproportionately on small businesses rather than the large corporations it is meant to effect.

This front page story was very interesting to me, because over the years I just knew, many stupid things happening in my village, like these big apartment buildings going up all over near rail road stations, for one example, was dictated by the state.

And the states are dictated by the federal government. And our local domestic USA federal government has been dictated to by self elected special interests, non governmental global organizations.

So seeing a push back from the “little guy towns” is refreshing to me. And another sign of reversal and special interests “not getting away with“ the things they used to. This is why they assassinated Trump. They don’t want things to change. But it’s a slow evolution transition from wrong to right going on.

parts:

ALBANY — Nine towns are suing to stop the state from controlling how more than $1 billion will be spent in settlements from opioid manufacturers who were accused of contributing to a statewide crisis of addiction and death. Eight of the towns are on Long Island.

The constitutional clash between the power of the state and the “home rule” protections of local government involves a 2021 state law. The measure requires money from settlements and enforcement actions “must be used to address the harms caused by drug use and by the ways in which drug laws have been enforced.”

The towns want to spend the funds in any way they see fit beyond opioid programs, because so many other areas of their town budgets were tapped to contend with the crisis.

“It’s supposed to be unrestricted funds,” said David Grossman, a Huntington attorney hired by the towns, although he said “some of them will use it for drug programs.”

The towns accuse the state of violating the “home rule” provision of the state constitution, which limits the state’s power to overrule local government actions. The lawsuit also accuses the state of violating the towns’ right of free speech under the U.S. Constitution because they are prohibited from litigation to assert their rights.

I agree 100%. I have had the same thoughts often. The system has been malfunctioning often, and it makes sense to end this game and start a new one. First was the Covid that crashed everything, but it all bounced back. It was the perfect scapegoat. Only the germs get blamed. Not the central planners.

Now this idiotic Ukraine war, another perfect scapegoat thing. Goad our old friends, the Russians into a war, it scrambles up all the markets and Putin and Russia get the blame for a financial collapse. The Covid pandemic didn’t work. Its like they can’t kill the beast. LOL

The system is so big, like a huge herd of wildebeest, that just keeps moving on ignoring that some of them around the edges get taken down by lions and tigers, as seen on those nature shows. Its all reversing in slow motion.

PureGold Learns of Notice of Civil Claim and Denies Allegations

Yep it could solve a few problems, for elderly that can’t drive regular cars anymore, have trouble getting from the parking lot and walking through buildings or malls or getting mugged on the way ,getting their cars broken into and so forth. They might be able to even stop riding the subways in NY. But I think some places like NY, Chicago, LA aren’t even safe then.

I think you’re on to something!

Doesn’t it seem funny there causing inflation at the same time they’re spending all this money by the trillions to go broke like their doing it on purpose?

Why did BLM buy LA mansion for $5.8m from developer friend who paid $3.1m for it just six days earlier? Transaction ‘raises serious questions’ – but founder Patrisse Cullors says criticism is ‘racist and sexist’

If I had the ability I’d invent a narrow light wt, covered convertible cart that seated 4 and went faster with a gear that could switch to store speed that could be used in all indoor places where you don’t have to get out of the car, just drive there and drive right in and make it affordable like 10 K vs the 60 K electric cars.

“There is no hurry to sell something you own, if prices keep rising.”

Very true and I think we are on the right side of the trade. Commodities have a long way to run …

There is no hurry to sell something you own, if prices keep rising. I once heard T Boone Pickins I think it was, say, “If I have a million barrels of oil and its going up, why sell it now, if a month later its worth more”? Price Manipulation of commodities prices since 1971, has been turning into price discovery (correct prices) catching up to them from after 9/11.

I saw Copper charts showing $1/lb from 1972 to 2003 and flew to $5 I think.  Copper today $4.71. It still WAY WAY too cheap for what it is and how important it is. $5/lb in today’s is .25 cents/lb in 1972 money. So Copper is net cheaper today than 50 years ago.

Gasoline at $5/gallon is the same as .25 cents a gallon in 1970. Average pay today I heard in $35/hr. Same as $1.75/hr, the minimum wage around 1970? or late ’60s.

Thanks for the comeback. Re Feds balance sheet. I wonder if they do first in first out, or last in first out.

How could I forget the Beach Boys!

Maybe the next generation will be driving shopping carts!

I guess it’s better to do that “ with the carts” than some places that will no longer let you take them out the door because of it. There thinking too sma though. If I was homeless and owned nothing I’d get one of those electric scooters and keep going. Remember this song. Who knew it would be our generation they were singing about.

USD, Rates, Bitcoin, PM’s & SM drifting sideways.

Shares flat. Surprised HUI 300-310 has actually held during this fake breakout.

Agree with Maddog on the buyers and it’s definitely not Joe Retail.

Haven’t heard much about the Rubles and Gold for oil & Nat Gas lately. I wonder if Putin has buckled?

I learned about those locking carts the hard way. I went shopping one place and for groceries decided to go to another store next to it to look at something near the holidays and the whole thing just locked up. I couldn’t get it unlocked either so I had two choices. Drag it to my car which I should of did first but didn’t want someone trying break in or hurry back and get another cart and stop before it locked. I chose to get another cart.

You don’t understand sir. You are going to have to just stay inside your blue tarp tent. If you don’t have one, one will be provided for you.

Speaking of grocery carts, my honey has informed me that many of the grocery stores she goes to have installed electrical locking devices on the carts and that a certain distance from the store the lock kicks in and the wheels won’t turn …
