Howdy Folks! Hope you’re all doing well and enjoying your Summer!

So, I invested in what I hope will be a worthwhile endeavor. I watch my grandchildren while my son and DIL work. When they’re at the barn or elsewhere on this farm, they can’t hear me when I call for them. Sometimes I’ll ring the large dinner bell and they’ll all come running. I figured it would be nice if I had a way to contact which one I needed and explain what I needed. I hate to call for all 3 when I only have a simple question for one of them. So, I invested in Walkie Talkies. They’ll each have one they can clip on and go wherever they want and I can reach them for whatever I need. It’ll be so much simpler for all of us. Hope it works like I anticipate. Of course, I realize they’ll lose one or break one or whatever and that’s ok. It’ll be much easier for now anyway.

I’ve read thru the comments here and they’re interesting.

For well off white liberals to accuse someone like me of white privilege is literally insane... Because poor white people should be voting right alongside poor black people.. so what do the Republicans do... They accuse poor people of stealing from welfare and about poor people they mean everyone who is poor.. Republicans complain about how the election in New York City turned out... But while under Republican control it seems like the only thing Republicans were worried about was rent control.. all the Republicans have done for years is criticized the Democrats without coming up with any damn solutions.. then the Democrats cleverly alienate a large voting block that should be voting with them by saying they are the problem... Damn problem isn't  poor white people..
It's ultra-wealthy white people.. believe me ultra rich white people have absolutely nothing in common with me at all except to use me to vote for them when they feel necessary... Which is why they lost my vote years ago.. maybe mayor Mamdani is promising pie in the sky.... But at least that's a kind of HOPE... The Republicans portray themselves as heroes for galavanting after the low income welfare cheats so they say.. while completely ignoring the concentration of wealth at the top.. which is why I tend to criticize both parties at times... I saw a rich white liberal lady on TV the other day who said that there was no such thing in this country as a white person who was not a racist... The kind of destructive generalization I was expect to hear about a Nazi talking about Jews.. Democrats have the ability at this time to unite poor white people and poor black people together instead of pushing them apart..
Because right now it's the Republicans blindly ignoring the state of the economy just like the Democrats did before Trump was reelected again.. don't sit there and tell me that the presidency of Donald Trump starting in 2024 has been one economic success story after another... People are hurting at the bottom... We are tired of being called the problem by democrats... And by Republicans who prove it Time after Time by going after any program that might help poor people.. as more and more new laws are put on the books to justify the arrest of people who are homeless... Both parties are going to have to answer for this eventually.... The rich people in this country only share power and a little bit of it at that with the less rich people or the poor people rather to ensure a measure of domestic tranquility... When the when the poor people finally figure out they are being lied to... By everyone... All anybody has to do is read the story of the French revolution to understand what happens next..

Why is this still going on ?

I lack the patience to argue with stupid.

"Petroleum is a fossil fuel formed over millions of years from anaerobic decay of organic materials from buried prehistoric organisms, particularly plankton and algae. It is estimated that 70% of the world's oil deposits were formed during the Mesozoic, 20% were formed in the Cenozoic, and only 10% were formed in the Paleozoic.[2] Conventional reserves of petroleum are primarily recovered by drilling, which is performed after studying the relevant structural geology, analysis of the sedimentary basin, and characterization of the petroleum reservoir. There are also unconventional reserves such as oil sands and oil shale which are recovered using methods such as fracking."
