During the Great Depression when the whole world was suffering, the people of California were partying and gambling on beautiful Italian American owned gambling ships. You can gamble as long as you are three miles out to sea, they were three miles off of the coast of Santa Monica.

The same people who owned the gambling ships helped to build Las Vegas and contributed to the success of Las Vegas.

Salute,

Since Trump left office, the price of eggs in America has trebled, according to a Youtube video.

Go outside, get some fresh air.

Every man, and especially every woman in America should wear and carry guns with them at all times...especially if they are driving across America alone towing a trailer or not.
Crazy kidnappers/killers/rapists/violent thieves are there waiting to prey on 'sitting duck' victims.
All shown in the movie 'Alone'...and documented in real cases.
An assault rifle and several handguns as the minimum.
Plus enough ammunition, food, water and Sat phone for a long standoff.
Chance favours the well-armed.

McDonald's vows to keep prices low through inflation.

https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/falling-costs-may-boost-mcdonalds-other-restaurant-profits-2023-2023-01-30/

This is good news for the Cattle Ranchers who raise Beef for McDonald's, and it is good news for the Hay Growers, etc, and for the Dairies which make the Cheese, etc.

Salute,

Talladega National Forest Alabama...2022...hikers Adam Simjee and Mikayla Paulus became victims.
Allegedly kidnapped and robbed at gunpoint by two women, Adam Simjee ending up dead.
Allegedly tricked into stopping to help the two women with 'car trouble'.
Their fatal mistake, trying to help.

Two women on trial for alleged kidnapping and robbery, illegal use of a firearm, and maybe more.

Hiker Adam Simjee is dead...age 22.
He was wary, but his companion age 20, was obviously way too nice, was trying to fix the alleged armed kidnappers'/robbers' car for them, even ringing her father for advice and watching YouTube videos to try to help the two women.

Nothing wrong with me...no way I'm stopping for people with broken down cars, anywhere.
It's the bad people's oldest trap for the kind and helpful.
Tony in this forum warned about rocks etc put on roads by the bad people...so they can bash and rob the kind and helpful who might stop to move the rocks off the road.

Lucky you weren't 'totally sure' and bet a lot of money on it. lol

You can't make this stuff up...and anyway, don't have to...to demonstrate why I would need to be well-armed and ready wherever I lived/went in America.

Misinformation and lies that come from out of state, from people who pretend to care about "our farms."

Well then I think that for every "guns are really great and everybody should/must own one or several" article you link to, you should also link to a story about a kiid killing himself, a friend or a sibling "accidentally" with a gun.  You know, collateral damage stuff.

And if "[e]very man, and especially every woman in America should wear and carry guns with them at all times" how do we keep those guns out of the hands of the "[c]razy kidnappers/killers/rapists/violent thieves...waiting to prey on 'sitting duck' victims"?

That goes against bambis ethos as a shill and cancer on society. It is not going to happen.
