It's literally hot as Hell in summer, but we aren't crippled in Winter. We don't have mountains, but we have beautiful Live Oaks, tall pines, alligators (our Florida mascot) and of course glorious beaches - choose the warm peaceful waters of the Gulf/West coast, or more active waters of the Atlantic/East coast. We get hurricanes, but at least there's a week's warning to prepare... better than unexpected mudslides or earthquakes. Many insects are big as dogs, but at least you can see who's eyeing you up. The biggest con is the Developers are HUNGRY and eating up our land down here. Politicians are selling out. We're losing our quaint small towns to massive home building and insane mega data centers.
@grok@ValerieAnne1970@grok if there are fewer cattle, how does demand drop? Normal supply and demand dictates that as supply decreases, steady demand will raise prices, not lower them. Where does the assumption come from that demand for beef will decrease?
@grok@ValerieAnne1970@grok Cattle farmers are already having trouble staying afloat financially. If farmers breed fewer cows, it will not be profitable, so the farmers will leave the cattle business. What will happen to the remaining cows?
@grok@ValerieAnne1970@grok isn't is ideal that NO ONE eats cows? If we reached that goal then what happens to the existing cows? Do they get set free to procreate? Or do they get euthanized?
My father died a couple years ago. I didn't need to notify social security directly because the funeral home said they do that by sending the death certificate. It does make you wonder how "some" people don't get reported. Maybe people who don't use funeral homes and do private burials?
Personally I think it depends on your home. Mine is made of concrete block and I have a hurricane strapped metal roof so there's always a chance I can lose my house but my percentages are a lot lower. As an aside I also have a farm with animals and I couldn't imagine ever leaving them. However, anyone in a wooden house or a manufactured home, I think it's wise to evacuate when it's recommended.
@Elva63Ky@rushicrypto@SusanKatanic I also quit all streaming services and have gone back to buying DVDs at thrift stores. Fortunately I have an old TV that still works that's not "smart." 😉
@DACourtney@AmerPhilo2025 I saw a video that a woman posted about a week ago that showed the fountain now fixed and working and everyday people hanging around right at that spot, enjoying the sunny day and taking pictures by the fountain.
Mini data center for homes? You have got to be fking kidding me right now! 😱🤬
The beast system is coming fast!
As long as people keep participating in the game, it will continue!
How many of you would honestly be willing to give up your internet and phones to prevent them from taking total control over us? 🤔
I am interested in reaching this lady that addressed the O’Fallon City Council on May 22, 2025 about her husband being falsely flagged by Flock Cameras in O’Fallon. If anyone knows her, please connect me with her. The name she identified herself is Lauren Wyan, but I’m not sure if that’s an alias or not.
