USPS lost $$

I recently ordered some Gold Eagles. The company sent them USPS. The package tracking showed that it was making good progress, until it left a distribution center that is about 50 miles from my house on October 27 at 6:06 am. That is the last time it was tracked. The status now reads “In Transit, Arriving Late. Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.”

I emailed the company that sold it. They are saying to wait a few more days, and if it still doesn’t arrive, they will file a lost package claim. It’s a reputable company that I have done business with before. It’s still maddening.

Election

The Virginia election takes place today. Every single poll is saying that the Republican, Youngkin, is going to beat Democrat McAuliffe.

No he isn’t.

Sure, if elections were still free and fair, the polls would be correct and Youngkin would win. This election isn’t about voting. It’s a referendum on the Democrats and their communist takeover. This means that Virginia’s urban districts will have a 110% voter turnout, because the Dems will cheat to whatever extent is required to make up any Republican margin.

This election will be a good indicator for next year’s mid term elections. If the Democrats have really gamed the system the way that I suspect that they have, this election will go to them, as will the elections next November. We will see Democrat supermajorities in both chambers of Congress.

If Youngkin wins the election, the cheating will be even worse. Extreme nationwide Democrat vote fraud in 2022 will become a certainty. Keep prepping. Things are going to get worse. Full pantry, full freezer, full magazines, full bank accounts.

They lied

Just recently, the press was busy covering us in lies by claiming that increases to the minimum wage wouldn’t increase prices.

The minimum wage in Florida recently saw its first increase on the way to the new $15 an hour wage, as did many other states. Now we are seeing stories about restaurant chains who are increasing prices. The wages are hurting profits, and more price increases are on the way. By March, McDonald’s prices were up 6% year over year, with another 3 to 4% increase coming in the next quarter.

Let’s make it worse

The American Ambulance Association warns Congress that the “nation’s EMS system is facing a crippling workforce shortage, a long-term problem that has been building for more than a decade. It threatens to undermine our emergency 9-1-1 infrastructure”

So what are we doing about it? Firing them because they won’t take the jab. Yeah, that will fix everything. While we are at it, let’s do the same to hospital workers. After all, it was just weeks ago that we were complaining the hospitals were overwhelmed, so we can fix that by crippling them.

Appropriate

A teacher in Osceola county is in hot water for making several third grade boys clean a dirty bathroom as punishment. Now this initially makes you think that the teacher was being unreasonable, until you find out that the mess that they boys were made to clean up was made by the boys in the first place.

That isn’t a punishment, that is called making it right. you destroyed the bathroom, so now you get to clean up after yourself. The parents didn’t think so:

“I wouldn’t punish my child like that, and I wouldn’t expect the school to do that either,” parent Gustavo Serrano said. “It was too far, it was definitely too far.”

That is part of the problem right there.
