@Horn_Esquire@Artofwar__@1Nicdar Wait... didn't Biden drain them to historic lows? What is the difference between a 40 year low and historic low? Did Biden 'top them off' before he left office? Was Trump left with a fresh start for his draining? Do we really even have reserves, or are they just telling us we do?
@rodralph@quailsupporter@catturd2 You! And those who think like you. That is what has happened to the USA. Why did Fasci accept a pardon? Why would he need a pardon? You must be allergic to common sense thinking?
@WendellFurlow@Crazyoldman837@itsrosesm No Wendell, the vaccine became available for use 3 weeks before Trump left office. He may have made it available, but he didn't force it on the public through lock downs or job terminations or public shaming via presidential speeches. That was the democrats.
@paysonPauly@LarryJones Same for me! I was working in CA at the time. It was a rainy week that visit. Didn't think anything of it, just figured it was a cold. But, yes, I remember thinking there was something weird about it.
@NUndeserved@KAlbosta@Siya_22100 Normal math expression? It doesn't say '100 divided by 0.5'. It says 100 divided by half. Half of what? If it is half of 100 the answer is 22. That is not a careless or inaccurate interpretation.
A lady asked an old street vendor, "How much do you charge for your eggs?" The old man replied, "0.50 cents per egg, ma'am." The lady replied, "I'll take 6 eggs for 2.00 dollars or I'll leave." The old vendor replied, "Buy them at the price you want, miss. This is a good start for me, because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to make a living."
She bought her eggs at a bargain and left feeling like she'd won. She got into her fancy car and went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. She and her friend ordered whatever they wanted. They ate some of what they ordered and left much of it behind. So they paid the bill of 150 dollars. The ladies gave 200 dollars and told the owner of the fancy restaurant to keep the change as a tip.
This story might seem very normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but very unfair to the egg seller. The question it raises is:
Why do we always have to show that we have power when we buy from people in need?
And why are we generous to those who don't even need our generosity?
We once read somewhere that a father bought goods from poor people at a high price, even though he didn't need these things. Sometimes he paid more. His children were amazed. One day they asked him, "Why do you do that, Dad?" The father replied, "It's charity, wrapped in dignity."
I know that most of you won't share this post, but if you're one of the people who took the time to read this far...
Then this message of an attempt at "humanity" has taken a step in the right direction.
Thanks for reading.
