It was 28 this morning when I got up. It has been below 0 in the mornings for the last week or more. I caught myself walking the trash out and starting my truck in a t-shirt... Felt nice!Wasn’t it the winter of 72 we had that 2 week cold snap where it was 30 below + (WI).
Hard times make hard men :)
I was 6-10 years old during the Carter presidency. My parents bought their first and only new home and paid 18% on their mortgage. We had gas lines even in my little town.
My dad lost his job. There were no other jobs to be had and we had to go on food stamps. I still remember my mom being so embarrassed in line at the grocery store.
Lets call Carter and Biden a tie for the worst in my lifetime.
I guess i would say it was his fault for relying on oil from overseas in the first place. Drill Baby Drill!!!!When Carter died, I did a bit of a deeper dive into his presidency. I think his reputation as a shitty president is mostly unwarranted. The economic crisis caused by the oil embargo and the Iranian revolution were not his fault. In fact, he did his best to improve foreign policy during his presidency and was mostly successful.
Biden's administration went whole-hog on woke bullshit, transitioning children, open borders, and many other horrible policies we are only beginning to feel. The real effects are yet to be felt, and it is my greatest hope that Trump can undo most of it and limit the effects of the Biden years as much as possible.
Presidents have a tendency to get credit/blame based on what happens during their presidency, regardless of what the actual cause is.

Day drinking?I love that Trump has appointed Rocky and Braveheart as ambassadors to keep Kalifornia in check. I’m hoping for a lot of bloodshed.

I used to walk over a mile home. Sometimes with a full bag of football equipment, a French horn and books. The only people that ever offered a ride were weird old people. No thanks. LOL. Everybody else just laid on the horn. In the winter my dad would pick me up but, only if I called so I walked down to the corner store because the guy would let me use the phone. The pay phone at school was a dime I didn’t have. Can you imagine that nowadays. LOL.Oh and walking through the snow uphill to school both ways during the Winter Of ‘79 , lol. Now I’m poking a little fun at myself for sounding like a geezer.
"Wildfires" in CA....
California didn't spontaneously combust. Wonder how many of the fires were intentionally started by?
