I'm not scared. And I'm in a red echo chamber. And red isn't necessarily MAGA.

“Bro-dozers” haha!
Yep that's exactly it.

I've been to rural areas with much less pickup trucks. And somehow those working folks are able to get by with trucks older than 5 years old and without a lift kit.

It frankly comes down to feelings of inadequacy. And I'm not talking about you know what. It's about status and place in society...folks feel threatened, and these big toys make them feel safer. Frankly, having that 60k in the bank instead of having been spent on a new truck would make me feel safer.

It’s quite comical. Seeing these meatheads driving around “Strong Island” with their all purpose apocalypse ready bro dozers. Too funny. Especially given that 99.8% of these trucks never leave pavement.
“The Punisher” and “Salt Life” stickers on the back windows of nearly every one lol!!! What a bunch of boneheaded retards.

I now live in an extremely rural area and you just don’t see this ridiculousness.
Every household has at least one pickup truck, but they are not bastardized into a rolling tard cart.
Here, they actually are a necessity. We have a decent sized 2nd homeowner population around these parts so I still see these morons around occasionally.

Temple closings area significant indication of Jewish population in any town. Many of you are Catholic. Or were raised that way. Catholics are supposed to go to church (Mass) every Sunday. After years of persecution, Jews do not want to live in an area that is devoid of other Jews. All Jews do not - and never did - attend Temple every week. Protestants don't either.

Jews want to know that there is a place to observe the High Holy Days, Bar-Bat Mitzvahs, access to a Rabbi, a Jewish Education for their children, and many other reasons.

My husband - Jewish and sitting next to me, just said "Jews don't move to places with closed Temples." He is Jewish but never goes to temple. Yet, he wants one nearby. He also said that "empty Temples are worse. It means they moved out.
Temples in 3V are shrinking, too. Gradual uptick in ethnicities who are some from of Christian or Muslim.

Me neither although I am often I guess one might say ‘bemused’. It reminds me of the culture joke where one asks, “What’s the difference between (one names the place ) & yogurt?”

Answer: “Yogurt has an active living culture.”

Many moons ago the named place was often LA as often compared to NY. Culture wars. What a concept.

That's a good way to put it...I'm bemused...often entertained...but just as often disappointed...and annoyed.

Long Island ‘boutique’ owner nabbed with $40M in fake designer goods

https://nypost.com/2022/10/11/long-i...er-goods-cops/
Nassau County detectives recovered 22 printing presses at the store that were used to create “thousands of synthetic heat-sealed counterfeit labels,” which Castelli would then attach to the cheap clothing items before jacking their price way up, police said.

“A simple $10 sweatshirt, you put the Chanel brand on it, it sells for $5,300,” Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said at a press conference.

“They would take a hat, a $3 hat, a 50-cent item on the side. They would heat-seal it onto the hat and sell the hat for $300,’’ Ryder said.
