Nearly three in five Americans wrongly believe the US is in an economic recession, and the majority blame the Biden administration, according to a Harris poll conducted exclusively for the Guardian. The survey found persistent pessimism about the economy as election day draws closer....
In the past, I have been a proponent of learning to cook. Meal prep can save you money, and it tastes better than mickey dee’s. I still believe this, but the bill at the grocery store is making it more and more difficult.
So now, I’ve been researching gardening and I hope i can save money by growing my own vegetables. I think there are ways to get it going without spending a ton of money. Especially by using reclaimed materials that are free or close to it.
The issue that concerns me is the amount of time it takes to get the compost pile going. There will be upfront costs if your soil is shit and needs to be amended. Which defeats the entire purpose of growing your own food.
It sorta feels like we’re fucked whichever direction we look.

Recolonization was Lincoln’s orignal opinion. But by the end of it all, and after speaking to Fredrick Douglass, Lincoln’s opinion changed. His final address he talked about integration of Freedmen. Upon hearing these words, John Wilkes Booth decided to up his time table and assassinate Lincoln that very night.
From all my readings, there is one thing common across all of the greatest US presidents, and that is their ability to change their opinions when they were wrong.

That’s the case everywhere. Starbucks is ubiquitous. You can either complain about it, or walk across the street and get some good coffee, which is also ubiquitous.
First thing I do after moving is locate the spots with the good coffee. I’ve never run into trouble and I typically find several spots.
But if I want a cup of coffee I typically brew it myself and I use beans from local roasters. If you’re in the middle of nowhere with no roasters around, SWroaster out of Indiana delivers anywhere in the US.
It is mandatory. Just not a whole lot of mandatory happening. 2 years required in high-school. And 2-4 semesters required in college depending in your major.
It’s a good start, but I think it needs to happen very early on. I took 2 years of Spanish in highschool, and it was a good start. I’ve been practicing for 20 years since. I’d say I’m close to fluent, but 2 decades is long time to get to fluency.
