Is there a better place for your money than your mattress? or a bank?

Big banks aren't interested in your community.
Small local banks or credit unions are the way to go.

Does Anyone Still Answer Their Phone?

Today I did my weekly cleanup of phone messages. I change my phone number every two years but the nonsense calls build up to an intolerable level after about 14 months. Today there were 27 saved messages from unanswered calls, some from humans (sort of), a couple from someone speaking Hindustani, and some from computers, all from three companies selling things I would never buy. I live in the country and we know what to do with door-to-door salesmen. Between large hungry dogs and shotguns paired with a backhoe. If I ever answered one of these calls I would still be cursing the caller as my BP went up and up so I never, NEVER answer my phone. There were 7 non sales calls, all from my insurance company, UPMC which is a great insurance plan EXCEPT FOR THE VOLUME OF NONSENSE CALLS they force on me almost daily. No, I do not want to join your conference call about "how to make the most of staying at home" OR the very latest news about COVID or COVID vaccines, only about 4 days beh

Climate Change, Too Late To Beg Politicians - Time To Follow The Pentagon And Begin Preparation For The Inevitable.

 As for climate change, I worked on it for decades even in an official capacity as an emergency management coordinator. It is too late to change what will happen by 2050. Politicians simply can't move fast enough, even countries which agreed with the Paris agreement have totally failed to  to meet the goals they agreed to. It is time to stop wasting time, money, and effort on fighting short term climate change and focus our energy on preparing for inevitable financial and social changes we or our descendants will face. Working to make long-term changes would be  useful but that will occur naturally as Red states are washed away (GRIN). I wrote a book about this and am working on the second volume now. "Preparing for Climate Change  Coastal flooding will cost the U.S. billions of dollars within two decades." . second edition ebook  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TYTG6ZC [ excerpt below ] As far back as 2014 the U.S. military saw climate change as the  biggest strateg

Nature Magazine Says No COVID-19 Herd Immunity. Also, NO FLU was bad news.

U.S. adults getting vaccines sounds great but, BUT, there is no vaccine for kids so herd immunity requires 98% of all adults being vaccinated. Many Republicans and others are refusing to get the vaccine to the tune of about 20% of Americans who WON'T get any of the vaccines. Variants are getting worse and the next one may ignore all the vaccines. You get those mutations/variants when there are lots of infections. Some parts of the U.S. and many countries are not getting vaccinated at all therefore it continues spreading and generating more dangerous COVID versions in these low vaccine pools including entire countries with air service to the U.S. COVID-19 isn’t going to end, ever. It will become endemic like the common cold or yearly flu which normally kills about 40,000 Americans each year. Did you notice there was no flu this year? Social distancing and mask wearing has saved tens of thousands of influenza deaths. Actually that is bad. Researchers trying to predict next year’s inf
