Evidently, the boss's theory didn't take into account the overall thickness or the density of the concrete that ruined his theory. He didn't want to hear that from me anymore than you want to hear what I have to say to you and your beliefs these days. I assume that you aren't fortunate enough to be a multi millionaire like Obama, Biden and Pelosi or a multi billionaire like the Facebook dude or Google dude or Bill Gates or even Trump for that matter. I assume that you are as susceptible to rising costs and shortages like everyone else living below them.
Somewhere in there is a point. Yes, I'm susceptible to rising prices as we all are. That's also true of the rich, though their idea on what's important is obviously different from yours or mine.

Here you are pretty much being set up to find yourselves discarded and finding ways to live off whatever revenues associated with American entertainment and the drama associated with Left Wing propaganda for the most part. So, what's an Oscar worth to most Americans these days? Is it worth nearly as much as it did to America before it was taken over and politicized by today's Left? Does education cost more than its worth as well? Guess who took that over and turned it to shit? It's the same group. I hope you don't have to guess? So, how long is it going to take for the Left to adjust to presence of people who aren't as dumb or a gullible as them? Can they adjust or are they pretty much stuck?
If the Progressive program succeeds, and that's still open to question, then we'll all be less exposed to the vagaries of life. The rich will not continue accumulating at the rate they have and the rest of us will have more -- especially those not in the top 5%. If you're under that threshold, and I certainly am, then you should gain too.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
