Why the cost increase?

No clue on this one. Did you get a notice from the mods? Usually unless someone else is getting report happy. As I remember it wasn't anything that caught my eye other than a too many "greats" in there.. LOL

Great and presidents in the same sentence, That's a mouth full.

Washington.. :-)

His last year of life he produced 11,000 gallons of Rye Whiskey

@cd318,
I was going to ask the same thing. Your post didn't violate any of the reasons laid out for deletion. Probably some snowflakes doing their level best to censure those with opposing (and profoundly accurate) points that needed to be made. Talk about cancel culture and projection.

All the best,

@cd318  you said it perfectly... Orwellian dystopia. We are living it every day in this country and sadly and more terrifyingly, so is the rest of the world.

@nonoise your post was removed and so was my post quoting your post. 

We are living in a nightmare where any difference of opinion is considered hate speech. However, if your hate speech coincides with a certain party, then that's allowed.

Cold...hard...truth.

Sorry dBoy, but none of my posts were removed. If you ever paid attention, you'd have noticed I'll listen to anything anyone wants to say.  

Just stop with the censoring of others POV. By the way, many universities, NGOs, think tanks and experts have pointed out what hate speech is and it's not coming from me. In the context of this conversation, that leave you.

Colder, harder, truthier (as Colbet would say).

All the best,
Nonoise

I'll ask the mods. If you're talking about the cost of goods going UP, pretty much everything is fair game.  Add a NAME or two to a current setting president that's VERY opinionated and one sided, the red and blue flag wavers come out in groves. So do the mods, it seems. ;-)

I'm a policy guy, I could care less who supports what as long as they KNOW right from wrong.. No they don't have to practice what they preach.. But it would help..

I may like a social program that benefits the west coast flounder population for 5 billion but apposed to 50 million for Non Profit outfit down the road that hasn't done one thing for Vets other than used blankets while they hand out 250,000.00 salaries for 10-15 different board members.

Board members and "Expenses" gobble up 85% of the moneys on traveling and whatever else they want to spend it on.. While being government subsidized with funds and having tax exemptions. All the time accepting donations of undisclosed amount that are impossible to trace. 

Bad guys in this county really do come in sheep's clothing, bearing wool blankets, I'd doubt it.. More like low stitch count cotton/polyester. :-(

They go to school to actually be taught "how to set up a non profit".
PRISON... Ops did I say that..
