Sometimes you have to wonder if half the country has just completely lost their minds. I’m watching an episode of Tori and Dean that I recorded a week or so ago and they are talking about preschool. The child is 1 year old for goodness sake. lol Everyone keeps telling them that they better get that child enrolled in a school before it’s too late. WHAT? I didn’t even go to preschool. I went straight into kindergarten, man was I deprived. lol
They just said that a good school can cost around 16-17,000 a year. People are living in their cars, they can’t afford food and there is crazy people in this world spending that much money to send a child to school? What is wrong with us? Where the hell did our priorities go so far off kilter? What would happen if say Donald Trump would find 5 families per year that were living on the street or living in their cars and bought them a house, not a huge massive house, but a normal 2-3 bedroom house. Then if Bill Gates did that and so forth and so on. Maybe instead of someone paying 40,000 dollars for a car, they buy a 20,000 car and find a struggling father who is really trying to support his family and buy him a car? Instead of buying a summer house in the hampton’s, buy a family a home. Instead of buying that 4,000 suit, donate 3,000 of it to help pay low income utilities. I’m sure the Help Offices, Audubon Areas, Salvation Army, St Vincent de Pauls, etc would be glad for the help.
It’s time everyone screwed their heads back on tight and stepped out of the ivory towers and take a good look around.
Gas prices are finally coming back down. The rational part of my brain figures it’s because everyone got smart and started cutting back on gas usuage. I also hope that everyone remains smart and doesn’t go back to gas guzzling. lol
Now that gas prices are slowly starting back down, how about retail prices coming back down a bit? Not a chance. I was speaking to a man who owned a grocery store for 49 years and he said it would never happen. Retail prices go up for any excuse but they never go back down after the excuse is removed. Why is that?
Anyways back to gas prices. The irrational part of my brain, which thinks that Bush will go down in history as the biggest moron, thinks Bush is somehow responsible for the high gas prices and the closer we get to getting him out of office, the lower gas prices will go. lol I figure his family is from Texas, so you know they gotta own oil, so they gotta be loving the oil prices, right? But once he’s out of office, the next president will soon be able to figure out what’s keeping oil prices up, so he has to get oil prices back down and everything back to normal before he goes. Makes sense to me in a crazy conspiracy sort of way. hehehehehe
