It's an important subject. The insurance is getting higher and higher every year. In fact, last year I had to play a big game to get my insurance down. I went up an additional $800 and they were basing that off with a lot of different things. Number one, the roof was almost 13 years old and there were a couple of other things. So, there was also some storm damage on my roof so what I eventually had to do was to have an assessor come out, take a look at it, they agreed and they agreed to a price, I still had to pay some money of course, I put a whole new roof on, I did a few other things and with that My insurance went back down, the original 800 plus a little bit more, so I made it more feasible again. But of course now, it used to be like you'd have a deductible of like, my deductible in my house was $500 and for the most part that is still true. But the roof itself is now 2.5% of the value of the house. So if your house is worth, you know, $300,000, you're going to be paying quite a bit of that if you have another storm damage on the roof, stuff like that. not only are they changing the premiums and trying to make them higher, they're also changing the policy of when the deductibles and so forth like that. And that makes it even worse. So I think I pay, oh, I can't remember what I pay now, but it is considerably less than what it was from the year before. And then of course, then there's property taxes on top of that. We went through a big shindig here in the increase the value of my house by 80% for the tax assessment, which is done every two years here in Missouri. So then we had to fight with them about it. And then we had to get somebody to investigate it. And it was all done by the same company that was actually helping them raise the prices on all the houses to get more property tax. So I went to almost paying $1400 more a year and I got lucky I got I have friends who homes were at the time worth about 250,000 and when they got done, they were saying they're worth $650,000 right? And so the taxes on his was just too much. He wouldn't be able to afford it. Eventually, enough people signed petitions and went to the courts and ruled that they were completely out of sync with the reality. And the only way the most they could raise the property taxes was 15% on each house. But the state already got the money, right? So they said, we're not going to get a refund. And of course, we had to go back into court again. And it finally came up, well, we're going to give you three years of credits. And they're going to take off so much each year until the end of that time. And you should be even Steven again, right? But still, overall, you have the property tax and the insurance on a house together. You're paying any worth. This might sound low for some people in certain states like New York and stuff like that, but the average here is between, for an average home is between five and $10,000 a year. So yeah, and I mean, when they do that and people are on a limited budget, they can only afford so much and their pay has stayed the same, right? But everything else is going up from food, to gas, to electricity, to property tax, to you name it. It's going up and they're not getting the raises they need to keep up with it. So it's just making it real tough on people. Anything else I had? Oh, they're even gonna talk about this until Greg came to the picture and started talking about it. Oh, my prescription for New York Times is coming up. it's my yearly, am I going to get it again? And I've decided, I don't think so. I think I'm going to take a break, even a longer break. My sabbatical is for listening to all the baloney that's going on is just getting less tolerable by the month. So if I need to see something or hear something, I guess I go to MDR, you know, or something like that. Or check chat GBT and get, I don't know, maybe the truth and maybe not the truth, you never know. But I just, I'm trying to stay away from it more and more all the time. Hey Al, I guess I've talked enough this round. Back to you there, oh, probably, great.

Gas prices around here are still right around 260, 270 a gallon. And I'd go head north, I saw it the morning yesterday, it was like 210 a gallon. I haven't looked down this way, but I don't know what it is. I do know that basically in the state of Missouri there was a tax, a fuel tax, put in place that was told they said they could not do it they didn't there it is and the way they got around it was they could get a refund on that patch at the end of the year but i have to keep all my fuel receipts and submit them in a certain way with a certain form and then and only then after the audit that's out at Thorne and all these receipts, will they give me my 25 cents back per gallon? So, um, of course, not exactly because we're going to do that as anybody at all. In fact, I've never met anybody that would do that. It's just a sticky way for the Republicans to get around and charge something even when the public says, no, we don't want it. I'd love to see two 10 a gallon around where I live at of course I'm gonna be cutting back on all I was going through roughly a tank and a half a week so we're talking four five six six tanks of gas a month the average is about 11 gallons each time. So let's say 66 gallons times almost $3. Over $180 a month if you ask. Well that's gonna end soon. Don't have to worry about that anymore. My wife she works a mile from work and usually the tank once a month and that's only because she decides to go to this store or that store to take a look at things. It was used to work alone you know. In fact her car, 2016 Volkswagen Jetta, brand new when we bought it. So we wanted, let me see here, 11 years. Still a nice looking car. She only has 42,000 miles on it. That's how much she drives that car. I had my car in 2019 until today. Zero miles on it when I bought it. I got a hundred thousand miles on it. This ain't right, man. It's not right. But soon we won't have to worry about that anymore. I'll spend $180 a month in gas. I'm gonna stay alone. My God, what could I do with that money?"},{"callsign_confidence":0.85,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-12-24T13:57:44+00:00","id":95192,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":95191,"text":"Yeah, KV0MAI. What do I think? I don't know what I should think. I was in a truck stop, grabbed myself a little bit of coffee. The guy needed another cup, a second cup for the day. That's not bad, I guess. I guess I got up late at midnight, nine o'clock now. You know, I was thinking about your, let's get a radios or a radio station up and running where you can warn people and I mean that does, to me it just seems very impractical. I mean you have to have some way for everybody to know that you exist, they'd have to know, they'd have to have their, let's say, let's say you're doing it at Home Depot, well they'd have to carry around transistor radios in their hand as they're in the store and stuff like that. Of course, you know, not every place is going to have it. It's just too much chaos, not enough organization, that kind of thing. However, I think I've come up with a solution, Greg. All of us should be carrying flare guns. So when the ice shows up at a Home Depot or a Mexican restaurant, three or four of us can jump out of the car, shoot the flares up in the air, warning everybody that ice is around and all the immigrants can run. You know, there you go. And I have to check the laws, but I think you can shoot a flare gun up in the air, right? Sure you can. While you don't shoot them at the ice offices themselves, a whistle's a pretty good idea. Whistle's pretty good too. Maybe we could do both we could do a whistle and a flare gun or one of them oh yeah they're the air horns you know and so you have a whistle and air horn flare gun and maybe some pom-poms I'm hearing myself forgive me sorry hey you guys You guys have a wonderful day, JB0MAI73's back to neck control."},{"callsign_confidence":0.85,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-12-24T13:43:30+00:00","id":95146,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":95145,"text":"Yep, KB0MAI along with KB0PSF.
