Is Joe photoshopped into this photo? Some say he is. I’m not convinced either way yet, but I thought I’d ask so that the people here can start swinging again. I’ll get the popcorn ready. Don’t let me down guys.
The entire top row is sitting down. They are head high to the railing support. Joe is only a head higher than a seated person?? I'm assuming he's not kneeling.... and the baby's hand on the shoulder of the young man is the size of a child's ....I'm thinking shopped.
Joe could be a few feet behind that top row, which would work with the camera aiming from below. I think not-shopped and Joe just wandered through that door to see what was going on out there.
Then what about the baby hand on that kids shoulder? Doors seem too close to have Joe that far back.

Coming from someone that I sincerely hold in well above average intelligence, that, by far, is one of the dumbest things I’ve heard come out of your mouth typed on a page. WTF! Are you drinking again? 😂😂

You're either drunk or just being a gigantic cocksuucker. Are you sober or on a 48 hour day drink? Can you please explain how that seems dumb?

Doesn’t make any sense. Perhaps I am dense. Please explain in simpletons terms. 😕
Well spotted, I didn't notice the phantom hand. I've got a little phone app, Magic Eraser, that erases unwanted objects that works wonders, I use it to remove background clutter from my cigar pics. It's become a built in feature on the latest iPhones.

Politicians never accept the blame for their mistakes or failures. They just double down. Look at gun control. It fails every time so they just keep passing more restrictions on the people who are not the problem, claiming they just didn't go far enough last time.
Sorry for turning this political but it's hard not to when the topic changes to those sleazy political hacks.
Trapped in the People's Communist Republic of Massachusetts.
I can save the task force a lot of time and money.
San Diego county single family dwellings is near full capacity. Inner cities are stacked. Prices therefore rise naturally based off availability and demand.
Living within the county, on average, a person is literally, 45 minutes from, downtown, nightlife and restaurants galore, mountains to ski, lakes and rivers, for toys and fishing, hunting, desert toy land, hiking, back country roads. Anything you want to do for activities, odds are you’ll find it. Not to mention there are one or two places in the world that has similar Mediterranean climate year round.
After 2020 hundreds of thousands ventured out and poured into the smaller, more desirable rural communities. Not a lot of inventory to begin with. People that have lived in these small rural communities for many decades, that had low initial investments, exercise the market value and sell for very large profits. Obviously, this trend perpetuates itself based off low inventory, high demand and location.
To take this farther, people who cashed in high and wanted to leave California, move elsewhere with much less single family overhead, pay cash and drive up local prices. Simple economics. One of a plethora reasons why your local communities have a huge distaste for Californians moving into your neighborhoods.
Yeah I understand supply and demand. I also understand that things like transportation costs, many things dealing with energy costs, and the differences in cost between renting and buying are at the feet of politicians that vote in certain policies and allow these things to happen to line their lobbyists pockets.
Californians get a bad rap and singles out but they’re by far the only ones. The problem is that people leave areas where the policies they helped vote for have driven costs…yet they vote for the same policies once they’ve left the area. Too many people follow a letter ( R or D) instead of following common sense.
I think a lot of these housing problems would stop being problems if housing was easier to build. Of course houses are going to be more expensive when neighborhoods are allowed to tell builders that houses must have a yard, driveway, and minimum square footage, or that apartment buildings aren't allowed to be built above a certain height or occupancy.
Home ownership gives people a stake in their future, it allows generational wealth to be established when a hardworking American can save up, buy a small house, and raise a family. Those kids can then take the money from the house after the parents die, and fund college for their kids, which means the grand kids can buy a house at a younger age with no college debt. Then the great grandchildren can attend better schools and have a more stable upbringing, which leads to a more successful life. It compounds on itself generation to generation when people own assets, and the easiest way to get started with that is to own a house.
But right now, people in all these suburbs around the cities are so concerned with the value of their own house, that they're not willing to help anyone else make their own American dream. This leads to people renting everything, and having no realistic way to get out of poverty, generation to generation. When you don't own anything, you also don't take care of anything and you don't save any money. What's the point? It's all going to go to someone else. What's the point of building a porch for a house that you don't own, and won't see the appreciation from? Why bother going for that promotion at work? You still won't be able to own anything in any reasonably sized city.
When people own assets, that they can hopefully pass on to their kids, it changes the entire outlook of their life. But right now, no one with a middle class job gets to do that unless they do what I did and move out into the countryside somewhere, where land is cheap and HOA restrictions don't exist. Even then, I was hanging by a thread for that first year, just hoping that nothing significant broke and bankrupted me.
If we got some of these HOA restrictions out of the way, and let people build houses in areas that people needed them, I wonder what the country would look like? Sure, that 1 million dollar, 2,000 square foot house that's 5 minutes outside of the city would lose a lot of value, but I think overall, it would still be a net positive for the country as a whole. The problem is, you're not going to be able to convince those millionaires to give away their equity, so on we go with the not-in-my-backyard cycle.
One thing you touched on Calvin without explicitly mentioning is something I firmly believe in. People have put too much dollar value on too many things. They’re more worried about property value in dollars than they are in value for their quality of life and that of their family for generations.
Comments
The lack of hair sniffing leads me to think this was photoshopped.
Biden's sitting in a chair,,having a PBR. All those other people are pasted in.

A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
Boat lag....

Unless that's something other then a shït photoshop job I am at a loss
I'm not the only one either....
Got it 😉

I think the clap back was because of the comment about drinking. Reformed/former drinkers don't like that at all.
He doesn't need to sniff the female members of his family. He showers with them.
Maybe that phantom hand is Thing from the Addams family.
I simply didn’t see it nor do I understand. “It’s photoshopped” would have made much more sense. He’s a big boy. He can take it. Big ol windbag 🤣

Like this from the last page.....
Nah, he's just a lil guy, and I'm assigned as his bodyguard.
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
aren't these two actions antithetical?
President Trump has ordered agencies to act “urgently” to curb asthma—and at the same time directed the EPA to roll back air pollution limits.
Nope. You execute the people with asthma and then fewer will complain about the EPA rollbacks.

Phew. Well at least you are above average.
So they’ve created a task force to investigate policies and situations that they’ve helped implement? Makes sense.

It’s also the reason that the elections that people ignore the most, local elections, are essentially the most important.
