    They fudged their covid death totals the first year of lockdown to keep the hospice elderly care biz thriving...they didn't want to lose new clients so all those covid deaths were chalked up to old age....Nebraska has a lot of senior care facilities. My high school girlfriend's family owns most of them. Nebraska also has a few really large Native american reservations that used to be pretty impoverished...not sure how they are in 2022

    US oil giants post blowout earnings: Exxon earned more than $2,200 every SECOND last quarter with profit of $17.9B while Chevron's income hit $11.4B as gas prices for Americans reached record highs last month
    • Exxon Mobil and Chevron both posted record quarterly revenues on Friday
    • Sales numbers were bolstered by surging prices for oil and natural gas
    • Industry profits last quarter were roughly double what they were a year ago
    • US gasoline prices hit a record high last month, but have since eased back
    • Fat profits are sure to draw ire of politicians who blame greedy companies

    Ducks, brah. Bigger, better, healthier eggs. And mine laid eggs everyday. 3 ducks, and they each laid the most perfect egg everyday, so I had 3/day. And ducks are way cooler than chickens.

    Wait. You're dating a girl in high school?

    Aren't you a bit old for that? And how does your current wife feel about this?

    Just remember, things haven't been OK since 1954. Your words. When does everything become OK? Communal spirit. Got it.

    If you want to engage my posts try to make sense..I have children and grandchildren..it's not about my time on the planet but the future of the planet. It's called evolution.

    Not really, but I doubt you're consistent with your world views as it pertains to who's in office at that point in time. Laissez-faire? Not.

    Not surprised. I mean, you prefer chicken eggs to duck eggs.
