I learned to stand up for myself after my living HELL in HIGH SCHOOL.
I see now they are teaching the math I was using in my witch Math Teacher said was wrong. I was taught too do square root using simple addition of the base number by a method taught to me by a neighbor from Hungary. I was told I need to show my work. Not any More. This was before calculators I can still give the answer faster than most can key in the numbers and square root sign on a computer. I just saw it on YouTube and felt relieved that she thought I was cheating always.
I remember my father sent me to Lincoln Prep as my buddy Jacks dad also did to prep us for college. I took the math competency tests and scored 100% on math Algebra I, II with one calculus and one trig problem.
The Principal called my dad in the next day. My dad figured the Math teachers at UM were right. The Principal said to my dad, What is he doing hear? My dad was puzzled. The principal said he took the test by himself right in front of me and he was done in record time and he got every last one correct. What is wrong with thee math teaches in that school. He scored higher than anyone we ever had in our math programs. I took Algebra I , II Mr. Bell a retired Philadelphia teacher was great but thee next teacher thought I was cheating. Hee called me up figuring I did not know what I was doing suspecting me of cheating. I first corrected his last problem then I did the proof of the square root of a Negative one you know + or - 1 deal. I later found out he knew my bad bad Algebra teacher.
My college Physics professor had me take an IQ test and I scored 160 . He was thrilled as I was the one person in his classes that solved all the problems on his final exam.
I have a unique gift as my wife found out. I can add up thee cost of groceries as she puts them in the cart and tell her the exact price before we pay. It drives her nuts. My second boss working construction used to take Mme with him on jobs annd then ask me how many days will it take and how much concrete will we need form material, etc. I would give him an estimate to take beak to our estimators.

I see Donna Brazil still thinks she is right. She caused two women to loose an easily won election by castigating the working males in our country. You can't be ultra liberal giving away somebody else's money and not expect a back lash.

I guess I am not wearing a tin foil hat. A old friend from the neighborhood told me "You are getting exactly what you earned with your Social Security". I tried to explain we teachers, police and fire fighters were limited to 50% of our earnings. Well now after finally someone listened to we who complained about become in second class citizens. We paid into other retirement programs while also working other jobs that we paid into the Social Security system like myself for 60+ years working construction and having a business too. Workers like myself are being punished by receiving 40% less than other workers. So we should receive a 40% increase in 💰 pay
ments.

How come these republicans want to go back wards but don't want to go back and repeal all the things they did to American Families and for businesses causing more billionaires than the rest of the world combined. 1. Repeal the Ronal Reagan tax cuts to the top 2% they were and agreed to pay after the depression 70% on the top 1% and 50% on the top 2% while raising our tax rates from 1% to 3% to 5% to 14%. 2. put back the full funding of public education buy pupil periods that Reagan eliminated causing the Real Estate School tax (declared unconstitutional and insufficient in 2023) that destroyed the American Dream off a Single wage earner family. 3. Eliminate the right for Credit Card companies operating in unregulated interest states to charge over the previous one point above prime rate and eliminate the real price gougers. 4. Repeal the Richard Nixon deregulation of Health Care Act that allowed insurance companies to raise rates at will. 5. Put back the balanced budget amendment that made it necessary for congress to keep a balanced budget and not go over it. 5 reinstitute Women's rights. 6. Stop Congress from using our reserves as troops to become a private security force for Oil interests in ou own Federal Reserve Banking System.

No. skills are a killer. I would hire laborers and they we're getting $18.00 Ann hour to dig, clean up job site or if they wanted, I would teach them the. trade. They would show up the first day then 5 minutes late the second then they would not come in. at all and show up the following day. I would ask if they had a phone. They would say yes and I would say why didn't you give me a call. They would shrug their shoulder and I would pay them for their time an say I don't need someone who does not take their job seriously. I had two inn 20 yard ears from 1982-1995 when I ran my business and they were so good that they became my apprentices and now run their own companies installing windows, doors, small additions, etc. No one had any knowledge of the trade. Geometry, the framing square and math were missing. My employer when I worked doing rate work had no Idea his two foreman were doing him harm. Neither knew how to read elevation. measurements. When they saw 169.5 they thought the hub was 169 feet 1/2" above sea level which would be incorrect it would be 169.6 or 169 feet 6 inches and error of 5 1/2" and I see. it every where I look from schools, Like the March School in Easton, Dunkin' Donuts like the one in Cherry Hill next to Berman's Jewelers store (Excellent shop). The steps and addition to the entrance way at Springfield High School in Montgomery County. Every time I mention the elevation was incorrect I was wicked away from the job. The excavators S & H foreman used to walk up to me when he came on. the job and asked; Chuck did he do it again? I would tell him yup!. Oh no here we go again. When I worked for De Flavis no mistakes were made as the regular foreman knew what he was doing. He was a Mohawk Indian who knew what he was doing.

Back When the family of the old President of Sears asked me to do the Craftsman tool shows. Then the middle man joined forces with the profit mongers and started selling relabeled Harbor Freight junk for twice the price. Like Tommy Boy they were sticking a label on the tool but when they were failing they cancelled the warranty. I would not sell anything not made in America. Waterloo tool boxes Danaher Sockets and ratchets, Emerson power tools,. I started the colored tool towers and chests with the largest tool box in Black with Gold handles as the Professional series. Then the tool boxes with drawers that could be placed in the tool tower s but in emergency can be popped back in the small tool box for on the road work. When the family found out I was not being compensated by the middle man and the middle mans replacement was doing things in an unsafe and hazardous way they told me they were pulling out of Sears and Craftsman. The failing company who went for profits not quality products with life time warranties sold the still quality had tool division to Stanley tool.

I got another copy of the Anti American Democracy crap sheet the Hillside College Imperus. They printed another one sided issue as the dark government being in bed with what ever. The author picked Hunter Biden as being ignored by the Justice Department and Poor innocent Donald Trump and His poor PAL Billionaire Musk are being unconstitutionally penalized by being barred from Twitter. I almost choked. First Hunter Biden Laptop was stolen by a repair man he trusted and part of his business was that he kept clients files untouched and private. I hope he is in jail. Then if you know anything about an oil brokerage business they deal with millions of dollars an hour in sales, transfers, resales, and if it be government oil releases or Saudi Arabian owned oil, Russian, Mongolian, Korean or Chinese oil it all goes down the same way and to say Hunter was making money on American oil sales is a laugh. Evidently these idiots who ridicule Hunter have no idea of what his job entails. Why didn't they look at the previous brokers sales and profits? Oh, he was a member of the Rex Tillerson staff who was a Trump (Control American worker income) Republican. Not once in the article did they mention during the four years of the Trump Presidency that he allowed Morgan-Stanley Bank to loan billions to China for Elon Musk to build three plants in China (A communist government) to build Tesla Cars and trucks, Tesla Batteries and Mechanical components like motors and controllers. Not one mention of people like Tucker Carlson who are deeply invested in Russia and Asia with his Conagra TV dinner plants offering now bagged oriental meals for the microwave. He also has his Chicken and Beef Broth sales under his family name Swanson Foods in Russia and China that offer him low wage workers and high profits. No brainer what he is against not supporting Putin or China. I will be glad if you arrest and put Trump in jail with Hunter at the same time. Then what will FOX pursue? I think it is time for Steve Schmidt to run for office as we need a real republican not these billionaires pawns in office on either side.
