Yeah…… but……. You had to drive a Prius! Have you seen what those look like?

It's the SMART chic magnet Ricky Bobby! What they look like is a car that won't be pulling over every block and a half to tank up! They know the dude driving it is not broke! They see the big V8 and they think...small dick, gambling addiction.....choices!

US spends most on health care but has worst health outcomes among high-income countries, new report finds

The United States spends more on health care than any other high-income country but still has the lowest life expectancy at birth and the highest rate of people with multiple chronic diseases, according to a new report from The Commonwealth Fund, an independent research group.

The report, released Tuesday, also says that compared with peer nations, the U.S. has the highest rates of deaths from avoidable or treatable causes and the highest maternal and infant death rates.

I get mine from my uncle and the yolks are so rich. Would never go back to store bought.

I go through 60 eggs in 2 weeks just myself. Typically 6 eggs every morning and a couple hard boiled during day for snack. Occasionally some egg salad Sammy’s

Yeah, huge difference when you get them from farmers markets

They are killing each other as a source of food?

If we are talking about Marco economics, Biden seems to be doing a fine job of slowly fixing the Trump government deficit.

At the end of the Clinton administration, the surplus was 1.2% of the GDP
At the end of the JWB administration, the deficit was 9.8% of the GDP
At the end of the Obama administration, the deficit was 3.4% of the GDP
At the end of the Trump administration, the deficit was 16.7% of the GDP (For the record, the deficit doubled between Obama's last year and Trumps last year before the pandemic, so this is not all on the pandemic, but with his really bad economic policies, add the pandemic to his expected mismanagement of the economy and you get the disaster that Biden inherited from that idiot).
In 2022 (the first full year of the Biden administration) the deficit was 5.5% of the GDP

Seems like the kind of thing Republicans are supposed to be passionate about... They would not be.

Our washer broke, waiting on a new part, so I'm at the laundromat. There is no inflation. I repeat there is no inflation! I know this because I put a dollar in the change machine and still got four quarters back. If there was inflation I would have only gotten two or three quarters back. #Science
