You need a smart phone to prevent yourself from getting lost? LOL. Dude, sometimes its best to just remain silent on some things.Lol. You brag about having a flip phone. My smart phone means I never get lost, I get gas as cheap as I can with the gas buddy app. I save time because I can check store inventory when I go to the store for anything. When I meet people I send a pin to our meeting place so theres no confusion.
Lets not pretend smart phones dont have value in business, convenience, etc. Arguing we are all stupid money squandering fools because we lack your 1995 flip phone is an argument that wont win you much of an audience in 2022.
I have an $1100 phone, thank you, but was $400 and change with a lucrative trade in policy. Because of it I dont need a TV or DVDs or cable.
I had a friend who would travel 20 miles to the cheapest gas station, then fill up with $30 in gas, then drive 20 miles back. He thought it was saving him $5 on his tank of gas, but he didn't include the 40 miles of driving, wear and tear on his vehicle, or his time.
Some people just aren't playing with a full deck of cards.
Way more than $400. And I buy most of my tools at fire sale prices, and if I ever sell them, I almost always get more than what I originally paid.And you have every tool known to man, surely that extravagance was more than $400.
For example, I've been doing a lot of concrete work around the house, so I bought a Brute electric jack hammer. It looks like it's almost brand new, but somehow, the part where the power cord enters was busted up and the wires were exposed. No one wants a jack hammer like that so I got it for $100. I spent another $60 fixing it by ordering the part and replacing it. It now has a resell value of about $600 to $800, and every other month when I need to bust up some concrete, I don't have to rent it for $100 per day.
I bought a concrete saw (demolition saw), that can cut wood, metal, concrete, steel, etc. Just have to change blades. Again, it was in very good condition but sat on a shelf because it wouldn't start. Just needed an ignition coil. $175 for the saw, $30 for the coil on ebay, and now its worth probably north of $800 if I want to sell it.
I buy all my big expensive tools this way.. and I didn't need a smart phone even once.. or fancy shoes, or a new $60,000 truck, or anything else that would "win me an audience" or project an image.
And I'm not the one complaining about food or gas going up in price..
Its kind of strange.. You're so busy and so important that you need an $1100 smart phone so you don't get lost, so you can instantly check inventory, because your time is sooooo valuable.. and yet you're complaining because food and gas went up a little? LOL.
LOL. Nice try.. big fail. I realize you don't want to explain how you think his policies are causing inflation. I don't think you're even capable of explaining it.Okay what biden policies.
Start with this.
Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis | The White House
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Policy. Our Nation has an abiding commitment to empower our workers and communities; promote and protect our public health and the...www.whitehouse.gov
But I'm going to hold you to it. I don't want links, I want YOU to tell me what specific Biden policy is causing inflation and why. Any idiot can post a link and say "start with this" without elaborating on what specifically they are talking about. Try that BS on someone else.
If you are not capable of explaining it, then you're full of crap.
LOL. Its obvious you have no clue what your talking about, which is why you've resorted to meaningless statements.If you drink the blue koolaid might sound like rainbows and unicorns.
It drove petroleum prices on a climb since he took office.
Biden, and leftists, wanted $6 a gallon gas and higher. Your claim that you dont mind suggests you share their destructive beliefs. This contradicts your claims of frugality..
I'll ask again. What specific Biden policy(s) do you think are causing inflation, and why?
I think we both know you're not capable of answering that question. You're going to get mad, throw insults, make meaningless statements, and post useless links.. Why? Because you don't know.
Here, let me help with an example to get you going.. (we both know you need the help)
Donald Trump borrowed more money and put this nation further into debt in his four years, than any other president in history. Now what happens when a nation borrows or prints money? Come on now, they cover this stuff in grade school, you did go to grade school right?
Before Donald Trump, Obama was the current record holder for the deepening national debt, and before Obama, Bush was the current record holder.
Each president borrows more money (a lot more money, not just a few bucks) than the president before him, and each president sets a new record for putting this nation further into debt. More debt equals more interest equals more debt equals more interest. The last president to actually balance the budget was.... wait for it.. Bill f'ing Clinton.. of all people.
When Trump took office, our debt was about 20 Trillion, when he left office, it was almost 30 Trillion. One president, in just four years, is responsible for almost 30% of our nation's debt load. And you can't seem to figure out what's causing inflation? WTF?.
You see, no president wants to be in the big chair when the country collapses, so they keep kicking the can down the road. They're doing what's politically beneficial at the expense of the nation's economic and financial health. The problem is, most American's are so stupid, they don't get it. Why? because a lot of American's do the same thing. They use their credit card and home equity debt to purchase things they can't afford, then make the minimum payment due and kick the can down the road to the next month.
There you go. Now you explain which Biden policy is causing inflation or high gas/food prices, and do so in your own words. I'm not interested in your links unless you need to reference some factoid or statistic you don't think I'll believe.
By the way, if you need me to post a link to how much each president has borrowed, I'll be happy to, but it doesn't take 5 second to use google to find it.
