My largest expense is for health insurance as I'm not eligible yet for Medicare.
Some of my clothing is made in the USA. |

Deer hunting for trophies is also allowed in Vermont.
I remember being told that people would listen on their scanners for reports of deer being killed in auto accidents so they could take the deer home. |

| I know a white gay couple that adopted a black girl. Six figure income. What if the left allows rural farming towns to become ghost towns by letting the right cut programs like Medicaid? What is going to happen is the hospitals surviving on Medicaid dollars will close. Towns will shut down if there ... |

| I wonder how they are going to get along with their new neighbors. They seem to be city dwellers, not farmers. US cities are likely to be too multicultural. Des Moines, the big city in Iowa, is 67% non-Hispanic white. There are tiny towns like Central City that are nearly all white, but they are too... |

Roaches aren't too common in Connecticut. Don't recall seeing any. Mice are more common.

| A lot of companies fail because they are purchased by venture capitalists and take on a lot of debt to expand operations. Then something happens and they can't pay their loan obligations. It is a lot easier for companies to survive normal ups and downs if they don't have large debts to pay. I'm sure... |

| In theory, yes. In practice there are bias like it mostly affects males and is a childhood affliction. A possible analogy is the calling of balls and strikes in baseball. Even at the top MLB level there are some umpires that were notoriously bad at calling balls and strikes. I have many signs of aut... |

English comes in second at 280 million. Good to see that he is looking out for all Americans, not just the ones No... |
