Here it comes, Taco Bell and KFC are no longer taking cash. This is not good. Not surprising as the govt. has been pushing this for a long time. It’s much easier to print money, (i.e. digital currency) and pay for debt without cash. BRICS, the new group of countries overseas, wants all currency backed by gold and is trying to replace the dollar as the World’s reserve currency, and they just might do it. Our govt. wants nothing to do with that as we’ve printed way more money than we can back, decades ago. If the dollar loses its reserve currency status, look out. Just your economic lesson for the day. Go buy some gold!
Lori works in Vail today, I have a call at 1 and Orkin coming at noon. Then I’ll be working in the basement some more. I’m in Denver tomorrow. I’m taking Jag’s dresser down and then picking up Ty and have a couple other stops too. Hoping my new truck arrives today.
Hot in Denver, 100 degrees today. 90 or so up here but a cool down is coming this weekend with temps in the 70’s. Just like a few months ago when everyone was complaining about too much rain, the heat will soon be gone and then it’ll be too much snow or too cold. Looking at the rest of the Country, we’re doing pretty well. El Nino is the big culprit here. Those warm winds cause the weather which is happening and are predictable. Read the Farmer’s Almanac and get ready. Your grandparents read it religiously.
The news just said schools in Denver are sending kids home at noon due to heat and because schools don’t have A/C. How about just starting school in September as they did when we were kids? There’s a novel idea. Lori suggested that this morning.
People just can’t get out of their own way. Everyone has an idea how to improve life and/or pander to some specific group and when you add it all up, they just make more of a mess of things. Think back to the 70’s, less regulation, less laws, less govt. control and we did just fine. In fact, we did better! Why can’t people see this? You need to vote for smaller government and less control over your life. Wake up now people before it’s too late. Good luck and God Bless.
