Well it’s certainly been better. Being in the trades almost all my employed life ,raising 4 kids with my wife and being the sole financial support during those days has taught me to play it safe with my finances. Never extend myself too far, save for the expensive things instead of going into credit card debt and save whatever I could. Now that it’s just my wife and I, we still follow that game plan and look for ways to save. We are frugal still. Now we have 4 grown children and 3 grandchildren with another on the way, one thing as a parent you come to realize is once you are, you are forever, you never stop worrying that their ok and they are. Our goal now is to leave them something when our time is up. So yes, the economy isn’t great and I hope things turn for the better for everyone soon.

Oil to $200 a barrel has been hypothesized by some. 

You’re probably right , if it does get worse ,hopefully it will be short lived.

We can hope you are right but unfortunately we have taken a bite of something and we don’t even know what we are eating with Iran. There is no way this has a swift end, as there is no clear end goal in sight.

I hope you’re wrong, but things just aren’t adding up the way I see it as well for this being short lived. I don’t believe there will be a regime change without boots on the ground. Without a regime change the US will either be back in 5 years or so or Iran will have a nuke. What a mess this is.

And we could have just left the Nuke deal in place and none of this would have happened. All because our politicians are beholden to Israel.

I could be a lot better, but also a lot worse. I’m hoping that what we’re dealing with at the moment is the bottom, but I’m feeling like there’s more pain to come.

We can only hope, but it’s not likely in my opinion. Look the admin has said they knocked out all military targets but Iran is still hitting areas with missles and drones. We have taken sanctions off both Russian and Iranian oil. So now there getting top dollar for there oil, so now we are literally helping both Iran and Russia. It’s just incompetence on top of incompetence. 
All these things don’t give businesses any kind of stability, that doesn’t help the economy.

How bad would it be if Iran had a nuke?

North Korea has nukes and is still technically at war with the US, but hasn't used them, they also haven't been bombed by the US.

At this point most of the world would rather Iran have nukes than dip shit don.

Iran’s nuclear ambitions are defensive. Need an example?  Let’s look at the current situation.  Think Israel and the US have second thoughts if Iran had nuclear capabilities?  In fact, Iran’s entire balance of power in the Mid East would shift. They don’t want a nuke to use against its enemies; they just want the threat. And the threat is much more powerful than the deployment.

Pretty sure Matt thinks he is winning, with his superior San Jose liberal bubble worldly knowledge. 

Someday I aspire to be as smart as Matt thinks he is.... But alas, we are just simpleton conservatives who need to be educated by the lefties on all the evils of the world (AKA anything and everything Trump).

No I’m not winning it easy to see that I pay more for food, healthcare, gas and everything else, plus the USA is just trying to bully everyone that doesn’t agree with Trump. Wars kill Americans and others that have done nothing to America.  

My investments have lost money. Division is how the Republican do things, they blame someone that’s really has nothing to do with anything just to gaslight so you don’t look at the people who are enriching themselves while everyone else fights.  

You too can be like me, 

it’s not too difficult here’s the simple plan.

1. Learn that facts matter 

2. Learn a bit about history

3. Blaming others because your life sucks, isn’t going to fix your life

4. When a politician or Conman tells you what you want to here and then do the complete opposite time and time again and you still support them your more likely the problem

North Korea has nukes and is still technically at war with the US, but hasn't used them, they also haven't been bombed by the US.

As I mention above, the strength of nuclear capability lies in the threat, not the use. Once moving from threat into action, the value is gone, and a response many times more lethal will likely result. 

9 countries have nuclear weapons programs, yet only one has deployed them, for one reason:  no one could retaliate with similar force. Nukes are deterrents with immense influence, and a nuclear armed Iran would offer a protective shield no standing army can match.

Why do people even talk like iran was about to launch nukes? US intelligence says they weren't even close to having nuclear weapons. 

Only one saying otherwise is Netanyahu, but hes keeps pumping up this threat for 30 years now and there has never been evidence to it.

Agreed. I’m simply stating why Iran would pursue a nuclear program. Israel is the sole possessor of nukes in the Middle East. Even the slightest hint that their monopoly could be unseated results in military action.

Because Donald and pete dickbreath said so. That’s literally it, they believe a man that has made a life out of lying and swindling people. 

And some are so brainwashed they believe it. Although I believe many are pretty fed up now. 

Remember last June when we ‘obliterated’ there nuclear program?

Well at the time there were rumors that Iran had notice and moved the uranium to another location. Of course the DoW denied this claim. 

Yet we now had to go to war with them to prevent a nuke that was ‘weeks away’?  

So how does any of this add up  Did they fuck up the operation in June?  Because that was designed to prevent what we are in now, or has the goal always been something else?  Or even worse we have no goal?

While I don’t think that it’s the only reason, and most probably not the main reason, I do believe that taking the focus off the Epstein issue was a big part of reaching the tipping point towards the latest US actions against Iran. 

If, as has been widely claimed, Epstein was even remotely connected with Mossad, then Israel would have every motivation to go along with the backstory of Iran being figurative minutes from nuclear capability. It advances Israel’s long term goals while helping the current US administration try to distract the public from something that they desperately want to keep buried. 

Just my opinion, of course.

You make fun and demean everyone who isn’t a white maga man, but that’s only part of the reason you’re a fucking moron. The really reason you’re a fucking moron is because you can’t even seem understand that every time you make a claim and someone refutes it with the facts you seem to have nothing to say because your claims are always BS. And it’s always the same.   
 

Dude did you really just say that about windmills.  Fucking A your are so dumb there tough guy .


How does a windmill in the ocean harm a whale when the blades don’t touch the water. It’s not a prop on a boat.  
How do windmills kill birds when they don’t turn very fast? 
Windmill don’t make any sound, unless your complaining about the wind.

Where do you come up with this stuff. When you do reply you sound even dumber.

 I have a feeling that you keep running in glass doors.


I never would have guessed your part of PETA

What beautifully views.

Did you really use noise as a detractor on a dirt bike forum?  If a windmill is windmilling and there’s no one there to hear it does it make a noise? Power plants and refineries and power lines ruin the view too maybe we should just get rid of those too?


Lots of things kill birds should we stop using cars and boats and have no windows on houses?


Your arguments hold no water as usual and are straight right wing narrative bs
