    It is difficult as a manufacturing company that deals with competitive bids on municipal projects for 40% of our sales to keep pace with inflation, luckily we are at overtime to compensate.

    ooooopsie !! .... the solar panels are now about defunct, and they have no where to put them cause of the deadly metals in 'em .... I wonder it those metals can be reclaimed ?? ..... another fine example of the environuts (Dems) not thinking it thru ... here in the midwest we have a solar farm going in just a few miles from where I hunt .... 15,000 acres !! ... I wonder about what would happen if a tornado would hit one and all the shards go air bound ..

    LA Times report warns about 'environmental danger' in solar transition
    California has excess solar panel waste and limited means of disposal, The Times reported

    No there is a distraction away from the solar panels in landfills PFAS, closed loop system not going outside the landfill but they fret.

    They all need to get those Biden did this stickers, that article needs one.

    The CIA deleted a bunch of Pre " insurrection" text or E-mails when asked for them by the Jan. 6 committee . The news is trying to make that sound like a cover up for Trump...LOL These people are absolutely ridiculous and as "forgetful" as Biden. They were the ones that reported on a long list of CIA and FBI officials signing letters against Trumps different actions. BTW, one such as the laptop proven LIES.
    These people are fools in their constant assumption that the majority of Americans are un informed rubes. You can guarantee that any CIA communications deleted concerning the Jan. 6 incident was to cover the Democrats and rhino republicans collective arses.

    Have you increased your 401k contribution? Nows the time next two years at least if you are not near retirement.

    Yes, raise the rates looking to buy our retirement home.

    I've been maxed out for years, even with catch up contributions. Dollar cost averaging over the long haul. I have a small bit of extra room in the HSA I could use or a company NQ DC plan as additional tax deferral options - I don't really like the NQ distribution options though, so I'll max the HSA at next enrollment (thinking more for LT care or post retirement need).

    Current house is paid off, and we're paying off land we purchased - plan to start building our retirement place within the next two years. Though I've been thinking recently about starting sooner, parking solar (grid tied) system on the back acre, later connecting it to a battery bank and house as backup power...till we build the solar should just about pay for its amortized cost + the land taxes.

    Secret Service, not CIA. Also, Secret Service claims its SOP.

    Same idea about solar for retirement home, they also have a new windmill design that is slimmer, being I am looking on one of the big lakes it’s always windy. I will add the same home generator I have now, natural gas as a backup also.

    My bad thought I read CIA.....I honestly do not know what SOP means...Still old school where mostly actual words are needed..lol

    P.S.
    Secret service(yes I know they are protection as main deal),CIA, FBI...with the exception on boarder patrol and DEA...all those government "policing" agencies are controlled mainly by one party. None of them c a n be trusted as far at they could be collectively thrown.
