@ThHappyHawaiian To get traction, you also need some convoluted formula why there is a price increase.
Example: like bond debt maturing… ignore the fact that current owners will replace maturing bonds and then you have a crisis.
GOLD ADVICE: Report that bond owners are going to buy silver!!!
@Oceanbreeze473 Even if it is real, you cannot profit from a crime…. So after the government ceases his assets, he is out $51,000. Also, the fine print on the bet likely excludes yourself so if he was the only one to run on the field, the bookie may be able to sue.
"My name's Hank. I'm 66. I deliver propane to homes. Rural routes, farms, folks off the grid. I fill their tanks, check connections, drive to the next house. Most customers just sign the slip, barely look up. I'm just the propane guy.
But last February, during that brutal cold snap, I noticed something at the Miller place.
Pulled up to fill their tank, gauge showed empty. Completely dry. In 15-degree weather.
I knocked on the door. Mrs. Miller answered, three kids bundled behind her in coats. Inside the house.
"Ma'am, your tank's bone dry. How long you been without heat?"
"Four days." Her voice was steady, but her hands shook. "Bill's due Friday. We're waiting on my husband's paycheck."
Four days. Three kids. Fifteen degrees.
"Ma'am, I'm filling it now."
"I can't pay until"
"I'll mark it as a delivery error. Computer glitch. Nobody'll know."
She started crying. "Why would you do this?"
"Because those kids are wearing coats inside."
I filled their tank. Checked the furnace. Made sure heat kicked on before I left.
Drove away thinking about what I'd seen. Kids doing homework in winter jackets. A mom choosing between heat and food.
Started paying attention different after that. The elderly veteran whose tank was at 10%, he was rationing, keeping one room warm. The single dad whose payment was two weeks late, he'd been burning firewood he couldn't really afford.
I started doing something I shouldn't. When I saw someone struggling, someone who'd run out, someone rationing heat—I'd add 50 gallons. Mark it as "meter calibration" or "pressure test residual."
Small amounts. Enough to get them through.
Did it eleven times that winter. My boss noticed the discrepancies. Called me in.
"Hank, we're showing extra gallons delivered but not billed."
I told him the truth. Everything.
He stared at me for a long time. Then said, "My daughter was a single mom once. Chose between heat and groceries every winter. I wished someone had helped her."
He didn't fire me. Instead, he created something, "Warm Hearts Emergency Fund." Customers could donate. We'd match it. Use it for families in crisis who couldn't afford propane.
But here's what broke me, Mrs. Miller came to our office in May. She'd gotten a better job, caught up on bills.
She handed me an envelope. Inside, $200.
"For the next family. The one you'll find in February, four days without heat, trying to be brave for their kids."
She grabbed my hands. "Hank, my youngest has asthma. Four more days in that cold... I don't know if..." She couldn't finish.
Last winter, the Warm Hearts Fund helped 23 families. Not with handouts, with heat when they had none. With dignity when they felt broken.
And here's the thing, other propane companies heard about it. Started their own programs. Now there are "emergency heat funds" in six states.
But the moment that destroyed me happened last month. Got a call to deliver to an address I recognized, the Miller place.
Mrs. Miller answered. "Hank! Come in, please."
Inside, warm, kids doing homework at the table, laughing. She handed me a check. Full payment, plus extra.
"For the fund. But also..." She pulled out a drawing her youngest had made. Stick figure man with a propane truck. Caption in crayon: "Mr. Hank, my hero."
"She asks about you every winter. 'Is Mr. Hank making sure people are warm?'"
I'm 66. I deliver propane to houses nobody notices.
But I learned this- Cold doesn't wait for paychecks. And no child should do homework in a winter coat inside their own home.
So if you deliver anything, oil, propane, firewood, and you see someone struggling, someone empty, someone rationing,
Find a way. Mark it wrong. Call your boss. Start a fund. Do something.
Because heat isn't a luxury. It's survival.
And the difference between freezing and living shouldn't be whether your paycheck arrived on time.
Be the reason someone stays warm."

@ErrorPagenotfo2@GodCloseMyEyes Victim mentality.
Poverty happens when those around you won’t lend a hand or don’t trust you. White culture has a charity mindset. Give out of prosperity to those in need so they can pick them selves up. Don’t buy new chrome rims when your tires are going bald. We call that a…
@GodCloseMyEyes Wakonda forever… but with no vision and no progress towards the dream. How will anything be built or maintained? Your present self is a byproduct of your past decisions. No wonder so many people feel like a victim. They are a victim due to time and their own version of a future.
@DegenAnon6969 Notice how there’s banks all over in cities. The more people adopt Bitcoin, the more importance will be on the power and infrastructure to secure it. We will also see our power and internet become more robust if we all transact in Bitcoin.
@ThHappyHawaiian Agree with the idea but, AI pulls from the internet and as long as people use it, people will stay a head. My concern is AI being wrong and sheeple just keep going with it.
Brawndo….
IT'S GOT WHAT PLANTS CRAVE
IT'S GOT ELECTROLYTES
@owensparks Trust but verify. A better look is from the lidar screen reflection CLEARLY showing Apple iPhone being used. This guy now goes into the FRAUD category.
Very disappointed kids after seeing the cool hipster sell his sole.
@HomesteadAmeric So if you are blind, you cannot know what danger is beyond the door? Seems common sense to accurately mark a door/room so individuals can make the right choice regardless if they can see or not.
@vancemurphy That is the exact question. It’s not Vax vs Non-Vax. It’s the body is very complex and purposefully made by God vs you are an evolutionary blob on the edge of extinction.
Both sides cannot fathom believing in the other side. How is this solved?
@ThHappyHawaiian It would require someone to enter all that info when listing the house. Honestly, paying a commission when just selling a house is stupid. All you pay for is pictures, description and listing on the exclusive MLS. Buyer agents still have to hustle.
