Total imports of goods last year was $3tn

Total income tax looted was $2.6tn

So a 90% tariff on all imported goods would replace income tax – for about a month. Because nobody can afford prices to double and imports would collapse. Let’s assume Musk and Co. eliminate $1tn of waste in the first year, you’d still need a 50% tariff on everything, which might work because income tax has gone and people have more money, but as the tariffs start to work by encouraging more production at home then the tariff revenue drops as imports are replaced by local production – which hopefully reduces the need for welfare and helps DOGE. RFK’s Pharmageddon could put a lot of money in people’s pockets through reduced health care costs. How Ronnie reduces the debt and interest, now a $tn a year by itself, will be interesting to see.

And still today and always every election  there is a bill for school bonds and this time three of them plus firemen. No one ever sees a change for the better in school despite all these bonds so must me for their pensions. Once teachers got paid from the state teaching went down hill. They get paid wether the kids learn or not

Parents still have to pay for sports and get pricier every year. I don’t think they have baking or sewing or woodshop or mechanics in highschool anymore.

They also had bakers in the cafeteria now just processed foods like pizza slices lots of wheat based carbs little protein or vitamins empty calorie type and anything fresh. In the 50s they had after school programs for latch key kids or remedial reading for some and skating with kind of skates you strapped on your shoes and had a key to tighten them.

The teachers had some kind of piece of wood with holes in it if the kids got out of line I only seen used once on a boy. I remember kids could leave school to go home for lunch if they lived close enough that isn’t safe anymore.

Kids learned reading better with the Dick and Jane books than today and a big reason kids are having trouble. Why change  it if it isn’t broke. Thousands of grandma’s went on line to buy them to teach grandkids how to read today and daughter followed. That and aforementioned not enough time given to teach and the complicated the math, no more memorizing. You’ll see a bunch of boxes they have to fill out doing math. It’s waisted time and energy and conflicts with parents trying to tech them. How can they possibly do that in their head. So they depend on calculators although they can also be convenient and people can get out of practice. I was shocked to see a afro American nurse use one for a simple math for a medication years back.

On the other end many vaccine injured kids now with attention and learning  issues for different reasons.

Now if their worried about abortions maybe they should teach condoms instead of gender confusion.

A wonderful and sad story at the same time. I’m 20 years younger than you and SNG, and things had started to change in the 60’s and 70’s in California. I did go to school in AZ. for a short time in the 6th grade and things were stricter. They used paddles for discipline, but the school assembled for the national Anthem before school and said the Pledge of Allegiance in class. Even CA. was still wonderful compared to today We still learned reading writing and arithmetic, had PE, and after-school programs that went until near dark. We had Driver’s Ed in H.S. By the time my kids went to school, the after-school programs and Driver’s Ed. were a thing of the past because of a lack of funding. Parents had to pay for their kids to play team sports or cheer lead in H.S., they were in a state of constant fundraising. PE was no longer daily.

A lack of funding, imagine that. The teacher’s union now has over $200 billion in their coffers, yet schools can’t afford anything. The after-school program was a big deal because kids who had parents who both worked had a place to go and stay out of trouble. They graduate kids that aren’t proficient in reading and math but are sure to make sure they are taught about gender and transgender.

My sister-in-law in CA. was a first grade teacher, her pension is 100k a year now that she’s retired. Any wonder why they are broke? Fireman regularly with pensions of $2-$300k a year. Police close to the same. All of them with the best healthcare plans. Most are just a permanent voting block.

Our country has become a cesspool and a disgrace. These folks are going to be awful upset when the dollar collapses.

I guess they need a brain to use them and not talking technically to make lights and sounds come out of them. Talking about all the lies the left have been spreading they have the Internet in their hand and could do research. Same with Covid.

Same with digital because WEF don’t want us talking for fear we won’t comply or not to let them get away with digital and eliminate cash or your done.  Zippo, freedom gone. Now totally dehumanized to a number required to jump through their hoops to do anything.

“Then she said ” How did you DO that ? ”

LOL You’re a magician!

I’m sure you’ve seen those high school tests from the turn of the century or so … college students from today would likely flunk them.

Cheers

In the US you could miss out on some valuable coins in that change.

These days they don’t want them competent in reading writing, arithmetic. They don’t know who they are as a American or what their ancestors went through in depressions, pandemics or wars and things weren’t always that good and now if they’re even  a male or female.  They are dehumanizing them America went from agriculture to manufacturing where a high school diploma was enough and will learn a skill. Parents could buy a home on humble means and raise a family. Until the politicians and corrupt business owners wanting more drove so many of those jobs out of our country or filled them with migrants to work for less to make some jerk rich who doesn’t deserve it, subsidized by us in taxes and bringing crime, overpopulation and inflation with it.

When I was in public school , the teachers moved around the classroom with a strap tucked under their arm . A strap was made of layers of rubber and canvas , about two inches wide, 18 inches long and a quarter of an inch thick . They were authorized to use it , but did not have to – just knowing they could , deterred the potential trouble-makers . Respect for authority was instilled at home . My father spanked me once , I deserved it , and never gave him cause again .
In the classroom , we had to learn to do arithmetic mentally for addition and subtraction , had to memorize multiplication tables from 1X1 to 12X12 , learned block alphabet and cursive penmanship , graduating from pencil to pen and ink by the fouth grade. We had spelling tests weekly from lists of words that we also had to know the definition of. That continued until entering high school after completing the eighth grade . There was ‘assembly’ each morning with a short Bible scripture read to us , followed by singing the national anthem and God save the king (Canada).In Ontario , if you planned to go to college there were five years of high school , the tech and Commercial (office skills) students stopped after the 12th grade . Math classes included Euclidean Geometry , Algebra , and Trigonometry , as well as prep for Calculus . History , Geography , Chemistry and Physics were mandatory . English , French and a choice of Latin or German were also mandatory . We were also taught to play a musical instrument for two years and had already learned how to read a musical score .
I will never forget going to McD’s a few years ago and my food came to $3.87 . I gave the girl at the register $5.12 , and she tried to hand back the coins . I said no , ring up $5.12 , not just $5 . She did and her eyes got big as she handed me a dollar and a quarter change . Then she said ” How did you DO that ? ” !!!
All I could say was that I had learned to do simple arithmetic as a child before the third grade . She was amazed .

Yep preparing and warning. Also if parents pull their kids out of school to home school they shouldn’t have to pay taxes for schools. They should be able to deduct that or get a refund.

A female and beautiful blond with this really awesome Harley inlaw of a deceased brother of mine in  Wisconsin said she’s sick of seeing that B***h or hearing her voice. Meaning you know who. She isn’t alone.

Our kids are going to be living in more “interesting times” than we are! I hope a lot of parents are preparing their children.

That’s another thing dumbing them down vaccines, fluorides, chemicals in food, bad water, and not enough exercise  without getting run over, assaulted or kidnapped. The kids are all inside playing video games or girls chatting on tic toc or whatever.

And BTW that POS at the WHO who’s not a doctor tied with terrorists and  was all chummy aiding China in covering up the covid leak wants to force us to be their lab rats!!

I know and what I see in California making American kids to think it’s not important while making migrant  kids to think it is. Making white American children think their bad and brown children to think their poor victims or better than the white children and this virtue signaling BS.

.  It’s also the way their teaching not putting enough time of their day in teaching the three Rs and including the the meaning of words or quotes in whatever their studying. That’s what sets them apart from computers. That includes not  just learn dates either without meaning. What is 4 the of July. Dec 7 1941 and coming soon 911. Christmas, the Easter Bunny.

On top of that in California American parents who are busy working or having a hard time teaching their kids the normal way or truth about history because of the way their teaching in class who ask to put their child in after school programs that also helps them with their homework but their put on waiting list because they prioritized the migrants kids first.

So the kids are turning off their boring  propaganda and yellow brick road he she’s and going on line playing video games that more entertaining.

I think “they” will be brother. You and I will be either pushing daisies or Soylent Green. 😂😳

I feel sorry for the employers who can’t find employees who have basic reading, writing and math skills!

Is Idiocracy coming? You’re right we’ll be easy pickings for the AI God!

Think about how dumbed down kids and people in general have become since the development of the smartphones. AI will prevent them from thinking at all. Robots will easily make them slaves, if not exterminate them altogether.

Sorry for that guy and his mother but he’s right to expose them and call for their arrests. We need to rid the planet of these people, if that’s what they actually are.

A ridiculous struggle, but never for the QQQ’s, they come back every day. If they happen to sell off one day, they come back the next. When they should go up, they do. When they shouldn’t, they still do. Now that, is even more ridiculous.

Stunning four-minute video from Ben Swann in Georgia, USA:

“WOW — Pascal Najadi, the son of WEF co-founder Hussain Najadi, is calling for the arrests of Bill Gates, WHO leadership, the WEF, Klaus Schwab, Big Tech and Pfizer.

He says he and his mother are now dying from the (Covid) “vaccine”, which he calls “poison”.”

If you don’t practice at something then you lose your proficiency.

I will say there’s a certain amount of people who need to be forced to learn. If they aren’t forced by the schools and parents then they will graduate high school as a functional illiterate. There’s a lot of people like that AI or not.

If they don’t know how to write in the future it will be the schools and parents fault not AI’s.

AI will kill writing – scientist

There won’t be many people who are able to write in about 20 years, computer expert Paul Graham has predicted

The use of Artificial intelligence (AI) for writing both at work and in school will result in the majority of people losing the skill in several short decades, Paul Graham, a computer scientist and author, has warned.

This will create a problem because writing means thinking, Graham, a veteran investor and cofounder of Y Combinator, a startup accelerator and venture capital firm, believes.

“The reason so many people have trouble writing is that it’s fundamentally difficult. To write well, you have to think clearly, and thinking clearly is hard,” he said in an essay posted on his website last week.

to start the day, which of course leads to the bleed down of the metals.

Hopefully we can bounce back, the dollar and rates should be helping us in a normal market, right?

Watching NEM & AEM for signs of life. NEM sporting an RSI of 25 in a pm bull market. Ya gots to be kidding… 🙂
