However, unlike FD1000, we are absolutely not at ease increasing our wealth at the expense of those who already have much less than we do.
@FD1000- You are quite correct that every Dem you know is so mad when it's not going our way.

@Derf- Like these-
The black is for garbage, the green is for compostable waste (kitchen scraps and garden / lawn debris) and the larger blue one is for recyclables. Everybody has three, and businesses have larger ones and multiple ones if neede…
My wife and I have often thought that not even the greatest of ancient kings and rulers were able to enjoy the vast selection of excellent fresh fruits and vegetables that we enjoy, often year around from different countries. Sometimes expensive, y…
