Coming soon, to an elementary school at your town - "The Turing Point Festival," featuring Linda McMahan.

First stop of the tour is ---- wait for it ---- Colts Neck, New Jersey in Republican stronghold, Monmouth County.

Yes, our own Education Secretary will be on hand to tell your kids about how Jesus and DroopyDon are making 'merica great again.

Write, and maybe you can get them to make a stop in your hometown.

Geriatric money help. Zelle.

I have two checking accounts. One is connected to Zelle. It works.

I want to connect the other account but it gets blocked because Zelle is already connected to an account,=.

Any thoughts before I waste an hour on a telephone tree or drive to a local office?

Friday after Thanksgiving. My daughter's three kids--we have the younger two over for the weekend.

The 16 year old stayed home...... Not a surprise.

I called her around 6:00 about a financial question and there was background noise, she couldn't talk long, they were shopping.

That's cool.

Three hours later, I get a photo of a big-ass Christmas tree in their living room ---- with two of her four cats IN it. In branches, about 5 ft off the ground.

And these two are tubs. One is 16 pounds. His weight is normal for his breed. The other is just large.

Early Merry Christmas for the two cats. It's their first Christmas with the family. They are both under a year old.

HELP _ Accountant question - It's a hiking club. Founded 45 years ago. A year or so later, a bank account was opened.

Bank clerk, one of the top U.S. banks did not ask for tax id --- SS #, or such. '
It is de facto, non profit but not legally registered as such. Money goes in, and it goes out for newsletter, picnic, and such.

It is now taking in over $8k per year. If any is left over, it goes to food bank or environmental causes. Then we send out dues request for the next year. --- rinse and repeat.

Are we in trouble?

Bill Maher on Mamdani, A.O.C., Bernie and Democratic Socialists. So he goes off on the failures of Socialism.

He shows comparison photos of countries that went from Capitalist dictatorships to socialism. One set showed a city under capitalism and next to it, wooden hovels. Imagine - cities going from skyscrapers to wooden hovels in just a few decades.


Then the warning that this could happen if the U.S. elected people like these.

Comes to my mind, most of us ain't doing too well under our present capitalist/fascists system.
