Welcome to 2024...where everyone seems to be just increasing the prices of what they're selling to whatever level customers will pay.
Think the olives cost too much unreasonably, think that price-gouging is going on, ...don't buy them. Leave them on the shelf. If enough people leave them on the shelf, the price-gouging will stop. Article in my paper today, blueberries costing $14 ... readers commenting, complaining. One guy said "blueberries for $14?...no thank you, I'll stick with my Coke and chocolate"!!! It's everywhere, especially in my supermarkets. Average Joe is *bleeding* in bambuworld. American style homelessness is appearing. Housing and rents unaffordable for an increasing number. Leftist govts' massive immigration is much of the cause. I believe team bambu will never be homeless, but who knows what the future holds. Average Joe is going backwards, prices of just about everything increasing much higher than the rate of inflation and the amount of wage and pension increases. |

Right now we need to look at the issue of supply and demand on pricing, along with the issue of fair competition, etc.
I was paying $1 for a can of olives, and now I just paid $3 for that same can of olives from the same store. So we need for the new immigrants to grow olives, to bring more olives to market in order to bring down the price of olives. We also need to bring down the prices for cured meats, etc, such as bologna, cotto salami, bacon, ham, spam, pastrami, hot dogs, sausage, etc, etc, etc. It is all about supply and demand. We also need for the immigrants to raise chickens for eggs, and cows for milk and to make cheese, etc. It would be great if they could bring more cheese and eggs, and milk, to market in order to bring down the prices. Some areas where they can farm and ranch are Battle Mountain, Nevada, and Dodge City, Kansas, etc; both of these areas have lots of water, and good schools for the children. Also, there is La Junta, Colorado, and Elko, Nevada, has a good college and low prices on housing. And the refugees can sell Pork to the Chinese in China Town in San Francisco, and also they can export Pork from San Francisco to China. The homeless refuges can have Co Ops and Communes, and farms, and ranches, and groves, and orchards, etc. The Future Farmers of America can teach people how to raise cows to make cheese, etc, and how to raise chickens for eggs, etc. And 4-H can help, and other groups. And the college in Elko can teach a lot to the farmers and ranchers, etc. And they have the Cowboy Poets Festival in Elko. And there is Trader Joe's, and Stater Brothers, and Von's, and Northgate, etc, if people send them cheaper eggs, and cheaper olives, and cheaper cotto salami, etc, then they can bring the prices down. We also need cheaper canned soup, and cheaper canned chili, etc. And I love the Chef Boyardee Beef Ravioli, etc. We can also have cheaper spaghetti sauce, and people can bring the prices down by growing more tomatoes, they can put the refugees to work growing tomatoes, etc. Salute, Tony V. |

Red has never been able to land a job so his views are a little bit skewed on the subject of work.

The South auto workers rise to the challenge, Activists acknowledged that many workers who were unhappy with working conditions at Mercedes were also reluctant to join the union, swayed by warnings from company executives and STATE and LOCAL REPUBLICAN politicians that membership would lead to onerous dues and loss of control over their jobs. |

If Biden was the least bit competent this would not be even a close election. This dement is destroying the very fabric of American society.If you say so. But then I would expect no less than that from you since Biden campaigned as the adult in the room in 2020 and was going to settle everything down.The news is good, to be sure.I think that is as close as you can come to admitting we have under Biden a fundamentally strong economy with an inflation problem. I will have to take it.. It will not be as close as the 2020 election and Trump and his sycophants will swear it was stolen |

I worked with a beautiful young woman from Lebanon at the Broadway Department Store in Pasadena, California, back in 1996, and she was from a wealthy family from Lebanon, and she wanted me to marry her and go live with her in Lebanon, and she said we could live like Royalty in Lebanon, and for me, I just wanted to be an actor and rent an apartment in Hollywood, I had no desire to go live in a crazy place like Lebanon.
And for the poor Jews in Israel, then military service is obligatory, the poor people of Israel are being forced to kill Palestinians right now. The whole situation is hard. So, the Jews have to put their personal welfare and the welfare of their families first, and they need to keep Israel safe for the Jews. For the Palestinians, I would go live in the forest of Canada, no joke. I would just leave the whole war behind and go have a wife and a family in Canada and work a peaceful job. And Abu Dhabi and Dubai are nice peaceful areas where they need essential workers. Kiwanis International is global, and I support Pope Francis, and the United Nations, and the Peace Corps, etc. Blessed are the peacemakers. Salute, Tony V. |

The South auto workers rise to the challenge,
again. Workers at two Mercedes Benz factories in Alabama have voted against joining the United Auto Workers, the largest autoworkers union in the U.S. Big blow to an effort to strengthen the presence of organized labor in the South. The Friday vote was seen as a bellwether for the ability of newly resurgent labor groups to successfully organize in a part of the country known for keeping union activity at bay. The final count was 2,045 in favor and 2,642 against, according to the National Labor Relations Board, 56 per cent to 44 per cent. Not even close |
