And people want our health care in the government’s hands? Sad thing is, it is not just the government that has become disfunctional, look at Boeing, our universities, and other businesses.
Yes! That is such a great point. this nonsense is completely ruining companies. I see it all over corporate America too now, and I didn't see it so much 20 years ago. Nobody wants to work anymore and everybody wants to get paid a million dollars. It's absolutely infuriating the way people act today...maybe a nice depression would knock some sense back into people? I just wish I could opt out of that life lesson.
Hate to say it but I agree. People have lost the ability to 'scrap' and save and budget. I was helping a friend move a couple of weeks ago as money is really tight for her and couldn't afford to hire movers. As we were ready to clean her old rental place after we had moved everything out - she had no mop (I use swiffer pads) no cleaning rags (I use paper towels) and after we had used paint brushes to touch up the paint said to just throw them away! Another friend who constantly complains about the Biden economy and how rough it's been for her, had a party Sat night, toward the end of the night she says, everyone take this food home, I am throwing what's left in the trash! Nuts, dried fruit, crackers, cheese, cookies, not perishable stuff. I was like - hey this stuff is still good - she was like, we don't eat leftovers. Heck, we are doing OK (but not as good as Trump years) but I still re-use foil if it didn't get dirty, lol. Cut up old t-shirts for rags, and plan our meals/stock up around sales and coupons unless it's a special occasion. And yeah, we eat leftovers! All the things I used to laugh at my mom and grandma for doing.
We know people who never eat leftovers. Some make big bucks, some struggle. I think it's a mental issue, a depression won't change these people. We always TRY to have leftovers - cook extra, and bring home restaurant leftovers. It's so easy to make a meal - just reheat. We reuse foil, napkins, plastic wrap, anything that's still in good shape. We aren't strapped for cash, but why waste perfectly good stuff? If I were a billionaire, I still wouldn't feel right throwing out perfectly good items and using brand new, just because it doesn't matter financially. Wasting anything is wrong, and should make people feel bad. Strangely, it makes some feel "special".
Yes, if we go out, which is pretty rare, I usually bring half of it home for lunch the next day, and now that it's just hubby and me we eat a lot more leftovers as it's just as easy to make 4 portions as it is 2. Just make a salad and heat up the leftovers. Although alfredo is never as good the next day....
Well said and I wholeheartedly agree! I reuse foil, plastic sandwich & freezer bags, etc. I have a difficult time thinking all this plastic will end up in the garbage dump for years, so I give it a longer life... I also learned that people that appreciate what they have are not wasteful...
Most people have a garbage pickup every week and that's it. It gets picked up a a garbage truck and disappears off to "somewhere" they don't think about. If they would take a trip to their nearest dump, they would be absolutely shocked at all the trash there just for their limited area. It's astounding.
Is it me, though, or are plastic bags flimsier than they used to be? I do try to re-use them if they didn't have raw meat in them, but I first run water in them and see if they leak. About half the time they do.
God has put that on my heart as well. Do not waste...as my grandma said "Waste not, want not." It is a leading of something far greater within us, giving us a protection for what is ahead. If we listen. And, the better nutritional content of our food, the less we will need to eat to be full.
Sadie Jay, "the better nutritional content of our food, the less we will need to eat to be full" is an important observation. Thank you for sharing that awareness.
OMG Donna, we must have had the same mom 😂 My mom reused wax paper bags & foil, washed plastic bags, saved twisty ties & peeled unmarked postage stamps. I used to joke with my sisters but Mom got more out of a penny than anyone I know. The funny part is I notice some of these practices in my own house 😂
Yep! wasting food offends me, lol. We did take home some party leftovers although I did leave the cookies behind. And if we do end up with stale food, meat scraps or whatever I put it out at night for the possums and racoons that wander around. All I know is it's gone in the morning, and our trash doesn't stink. I know for sure it's a raccoon when there are scraps floating in the bird bath in the morning though!
Donna, your comment is on the money. We're cut from the same cloth. I've got so many T-shirt-cloth rags, I'll be taking some of them to Heaven with me.
I save it, just like my Grandma. Adds great flavor to venison stew. I use it instead of seed oils. Rockefeller pushed for seed oil additives in our food when kerosene let him down.
Yes! All this. There is a web portal I learned about from Chicksontheright instagram page where ideas for cleaning up government bureacracy can be entered. I think it is Policies for People or Policies for the People. My internet connection is not working well so I can’t get to the site to link.

Amen 100%. This is government inefficiency highlighted. They do not do anything very well.

My daughter’s nickname for me is Mopina Queen; I only use paper towels for gross cleanups (vomit, poop)
Yes, cat barf is definitely a paper towel thing.....oh and soaking up the bacon grease.
Noooo!! You SURELY don't throw away BACON GREASE!?!?!?????!!! PPL ARE STARVING.....
My MIL saves it and uses it for scrambled eggs & fried potatoes....
I save it, just like my Grandma. Adds great flavor to venison stew. I use it instead of seed oils. Rockefeller pushed for seed oil additives in our food when kerosene let him down.
As God intended. It’s why he gave us pigs.
And just about anything else you fry that most people would use that chemically derived oil instead.
RJ, you made me laugh! How can you reuse bacon grease on a paper towel from the microwave? Wipe it off the plate? Not enough to cook anything😊
Use toilet paper and you can flush it esp. for the animal stuff.
LOL
Jen, you think so? Well then, you should welcome a Democratic administration/WHO/WEF takeover.
I would vote for all the above!
Yes! All this. There is a web portal I learned about from Chicksontheright instagram page where ideas for cleaning up government bureacracy can be entered. I think it is Policies for People or Policies for the People. My internet connection is not working well so I can’t get to the site to link.
Lots of great input there!
It is RFKJr’s portal to Team Trump.
...and the death penalty for corrupt auditors...
