Simple, don't sell Roundup (and all it's generics) in California and see what happens. Hint: This will generate lots of complaints.

Why?

My best friend in college grew up on a property surrounded by corn farms. His sister developed non-Hodgekins lymphoma at age of 18, and died by age of 20... on my fucking birthday.

I hate Roundup.

999 out of 1,000 a cop killing you is your fault.

Not true...I'd say it is may be 10/1 guilty/not guilty shootings. And in case of citizen being Not guilty, such as here: https://abc13.com/warrant-informant-didnt-buy-drugs-from-couple-killed-in-raid/5140341/ the guilty police will not get the CHAIR! which any other citizen would get if he would barge into someone's home without any reason and would shoot inhabitants dead.

With respect to OP, I would like to start making the stand by demanding that i am not called a Fucking White Male and being accused of whatever privilege and oppression of minorities, womyn, and everyone else in Universe. After that, we can discuss the rest.

So, 3 people have 90% of America’s wealth

It's nasty shit for sure I use no poisons/roundup and have little to no insect or weed issues. Shit kills all the amphibians and bees in the area.

Ever notice how convenient friendships tend to be these days? There used to be a little thing called community, and the essence of American life stemmed from that when people really knew each other and maybe even cared about each other IN A SUBSTANTIAL WAY, even helped each other with raising their kids, and other issues that come up. Now there's Facebook and the unreality of all that.

Where in the actual fuck do you live? Seriously? You may want to think about relocating or maybe changing attitude so people are more willing to help you out. All I have is friendly neighbors and people around me that I'd trust to watch my kids for a week in an emergency. And we're talking non-family.

My perception of you here really doesn't matter on an anonymous forum. But at the end fo the day, I'm not sure I'd want you as a neighbor or friend. Even if it's fake outrage, I have a feeling it's crept into your real world. Life is good man. Or at least as good as you make it. Stop trying to find all the negatives. Your state rep if fucking you over harder than Trump, but hey, he's an easy target I suppose for those swallowing the media BS.

Where at? I assume midwest? Assume there may have been a basement? Radon is legit here and not some Realtor home inspector scam. Also lot's of radium in wells. Round Up really is a minimal factor in small towns or country living. Could have been a lot of things.

And, no, I'm not a fan of chemicals. Just might be a stretch to attribute Round Up to someone getting a disease at an abnormally young age and it being terminal so quickly.

jazz_music says

You are groomed to blow money and work yourself into a frenzy to pay off stupid debt. Save your money. Get involved. Keep seeking truth. Love the truth and try in some quiet and very substantial way to love your neighbors as you love yourself.

Lol. I don't work right now. I have no debt. I am involved (minimally on a library board). I know the truth.

Your view of the world is warped. You're looking for negative when the lives for 10/10 people are better than they were just 10 years ago. Turn the TV off man or get better BP meds. You're too high strung.

jazz_music says

Who is your response for really? Your status with the esteemed right wing cohorts? Certainly not for me. You wouldn’t talk like that to someone who might be your customer would you? —no, you would suck up like a good fuck-weasel wouldn’t you? The phony nice facade you give your fucking neighbors. LOL

My response was for you. Which you addressed nothing of which I asked. Which is fine.

1) I'm not right wing. Look at my comments like you've asked me to do of you.
2) I run a business. I can talk to customers however I want. So far it has kept me in business.
3) Fuck-weasel (not sure why the hyphen). Don't suck up to anyone, don't get the point.
4) You need new neighbors. I'm convinced you live next to shitwad's and that is tainting your perspective.
5) You're likely bitching about your own life on a site called patrick.net. Is that winning? (that's not a negative on the site Patrick, just making a point)

So the Chinese are going to stop buying made in China cell phones in protest?

Go ahead, how much between Gates, Bezos and Buffet?

Do your own research! That’s how we got to this point, an it’s not like you’d accept my results anyway.

HonkpilledMaster says

I wonder what would happen if you only looked at Whites.

I didn't want to go there myself, but that's what I thought when I saw the list of states for each item. (yes I know this is a somewhat oldish post)

And how the fuck does WY show up twice on that list? You can't create a serious list and bash WY if you haven't been there. While it's not some massive GDP bull, it's a cool fucking state. I guess leftists hate two of the greatest parks, that aren't being drilled for oil..... in the fucking world. This is nuts.

I do not think that OP is exactly correct. From wiki,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_educational_attainment


Both "progressive" CA and "regressive" TX are at the very end.

Good catch. And WY is kicking high school ass. lol.

I'm sure I'll get called racist, but do any of the top 11 even crack 15-20% minority population (hispanic/black)? I think Honk has a valid point on this topic. And how in the flying fuck does an entire state not graduate 20% of their k-12 students? That's fucking embarrassing.

My assets herewith but not broken down to types of stock funds.

85% + stocks; principally mutual funds of several types.

Some in balanced funds; Vanguard Wellington, Vanguard Wellesley Income .

5% High Yield Corporate fund, 5% High Yield Muni bond fund.

11% Individual stocks: the % of this is growing because I bought some shares of AAPL (Apple) and this went up a bunch.

1. AAPL (Apple) ; a bunch
2. WFC (Wells Fargo) ; some
3. MSFT (Microsoft) ;some
4. DE (John Deere) ; a little bit
5. BABA (Alibaba) ; a little bit

The registration (type of account) of the mutual funds varies;

1. Roth IRA
2. SEP-IRA
3. Traditional IRA
4. Vanguard Variable Annuity
5. HSA at Fidelity; Health Savings Account; this is invested in mutual funds and will be spent like a traditional IRA
6. Taxable, "regular accounts" including Vanguard Tax Managed Capital Appreciation and others less tax efficient.

The coolest is the HSA because this is deductible before everything else; it reduces your Obamacare premium pay back liability. I wish I did this earlier.

Sounds like wise advice.
I’d put the 5% collectibles into fine art. That always appreciates.

How about cds at 2.5%,stock market is high pe. Waiting for 20% correction
Or BerkB ,
What r good div stocks currently?

Why muni, pays 1to 2% barely?
Why annuity vs cds?

WookieMan says

Hawaii, majority Asian and mixed; Alaska, White ca 65%, American Indian/Aleut 20%. Interestingly, AK is solid R.

Hawaii passes a lot of kids they shouldn't. Sure there are Japanese but there are also lazy, grumpy Native Hawaiians who don't appreciate that if it wasn't for the US taking them over, the Imperial Japanese would have exterminated them.

Collectables or collectibles?

Is "fine art" liquid? Gold coins?

Regarding fine art "always appreciates". Consider BID...
A good indicator of excess liquidity.
Doesn't always appreciate.

"The Last Time There Was This Much CO2, Trees Grew at the South Pole"

Then why aren't trees growing at the South Pole now? Talk about deluded.

How do you know there is a South Pole?

How do I know? Because I have been there. No trees either, I had to trek 1,000 miles for my dog to take a piss.

Layoffs are now done on a quarterly basis. This is the same company that took away people vested defined benefit pensions, and did some serious salary range reductions last year.

Ask Kurt Russell, here's what's down in the South Pole ...

This couldn't be Florida. Florida women are known for removing their sanitary pads with a crowbar.

Is he even voting age? Love the camo and maga hat..

First of all, it was not the "red neck" vote that got Trump elected. The cartoon "red neck vote" concept is just the left wing's way to disparage people who voted for Trump. Hence the appeal of someone creating the phony "red neck" to spout left wing talking points such as the "Make America White Again" parody of MAGA and "afraid of losing power" and "afraid of becoming minorities."

Next time you want to imitate a rural white, try using the correct style of camos, use a US Flag instead of a State flag, and do not put the hat on backwards. The maker of this video likely thought the Mississippi state flag would add to the "red neck" effect since it contains a Confederate battle flag. Wrong accent for Mississippi.

That was from last year.

That’s like 95% of everything he posts here!
I swear it’s like reading some chain email my dad forwarded. Absolutely zero sense of perspective coupled with a naivety that would be cute on a five year old, but on a 70 year old is just pathetic.

If we do not get a major crash before Nov 2020, Trump will be re-elected. A few special interest losses do not matter.

As of today AT&T now has gay emoji's in it's internal instant messenger.
HONK HONK!!!

If we do not get a major crash before Nov 2020, Trump will be re-elected.

Or a war.

Oh look liberals put up a fake Trump supporter. Just another dog and pony show to try to fool people. Yawn...

Trump is losing supporters the same way CVS is closing stores. hahahah
