National sales tax, aka consumption tax, aka Fair Tax. Is the Right Wing head fake into UBI! I was tracking this back when this was warming up in the early 2000's. What you are not being told. Is that the new higher taxes will fearure a government "prebate" check. Or, whatever they choose to call it. A government payment, to compensate. This is especially what lower earners will come to depend on, but in time everyone. It will be marketed as the way to even the purchasing playing field. But, this is UBI, and we all will be made dependant in time.
I am no fan of our present income tax system, but we are being setup for worse. I am also not a Libertarian, or any of the political theatre groups. But, some Libertarians have been warning about the Fair Tax hook to UBI for decades.
Did you know that chickens love milk? Whenever our goats knock over a jar while we are milking them, we give the remainder to the chickens as a treat. They go crazy for it. It has a lot of protein, which gives them a boost for winter nutrition, and calcium, which is great for strengthening egg shells. Raw milk is also given to chickens at times to aid with gut disorders because of the beneficial bacteria and enzymes. Plus, our chickens just love it! Anyone else do this?
Our hens decided to take holiday break starting around Halloween. So today I gave them a pep talk and let them know that they may have made it to Thanksgiving but free-loader soup is on the menu for Christmas.
I got a real chuckle out of this one. A sweet 4H teen agreed to help milk our goat while we visit my parents for Thanksgiving. I noticed right away we’d have a bit of a challenge, given the 2 inch long acrylic nails. She just had them done and said, “I haven’t had nails in 3 years!” Perfect timing. 🤣We tested them out. This is why I never have nice nails and had one person comment, “you look like you play hockey.”
