Comment Re:Free money! (Score 1) 106

Nothing happens in a vacuum. So it is hard to correlate one with the other. But the prior two years before the minimum tax requirement was the aftermath of printing all those free checks during the pandemic. Now that that's mostly over, everyone is wondering why inflation hasn't dropped to pre-pandemic levels... It's the 'Inflation Reduction Act' doing just the opposite.

Comment So that's where the ACP funding went. (Score 1) 106

Why bother to help the poor citizens that need internet & Feed the Telecom shareholders when instead of putting it where it was promised you move it into a Solar Grant program to buy more votes. Can't wait for the political musical chairs between two parties to continue this voting season.

This wording is what keeps the belt business going strong, if they only sold full grain leather the customer is very happy but won't be coming back unless they want to add another color or style.

Most belts that have the 'genuine leather' stamped deeply into the underside of the belt seem to be ok. If it is printed or on a label of any kind it means that the material won't take the stamping imprint well so it probably isn't worth your time either.

If it's reversible then it is not full grain anything. Real leather has a good face side and the rough underside with no need to fancy up the back with a glued up layer.

I bought a reversible Dockers belt once, in one day worth of wear the glued on leather layer was already wrinkled and blistering. I guess they are ok for playing dress-up once or twice.

Comment Tired of these ridiculous over-encumbered bills. (Score 0) 96

Sure ban tittok, but propping up a government with 26 billion dollars of tax payer money just shouldn't be happening in the same vote. Ukraine, ok I guess they really didn't do anything stupid. But ISrael? Each part of this bill should have it's own vote and BE IT'S OWN BILL.

All that money to another wealthy government and they can't even pass a small bill to continue things like the ACP for our own poor on our own soil.
