I don't have any of those accounts either. Had a business facebook at one time and then Google decided my page was a grey account and locked me out and then deleted.
Basically that it. Some people just like causing mayhem and sit back laughing their heads off so to speak.

It one of the reasons I am not on the so called social media sites like X, Facebook, Meta, or any other such sites.

Oh I tried setting up a business page on Google and they insisted on a live video from my cell phone instead of a recorded video. One problem with that I don't have one. Now two years later they are harassing me by calling ad saying I not listed on Google. I wonder why. I did need the extra Drive space for data backup. Google harass me so much that I quit using their search engine.

And a customer did a review on Yelp and Yelp just wouldn't leave me alone. But at least they are using the same phone number that got blocked and the emails are just looped back to them 3x. The latest harassment was voice services which finally told them the business is closed and then they stupidly asked did I have any other business and I just hung up.

Both Google and Voice Services are spooking local state phone numbers but out my service territory so it is easy to ignore them.

StarTech: I'm with you! And I'm so happy we now have someone about to enter the White House that is honest, respectable, truthful, and capable. We're about to enter into a period of peace and prosperity and I know you'll appreciate that since you value squashing disinformation in all forms. Join me in celebrating a new age in the United States. With Trump and his many outstanding cabinet choices, we are about to see a return to achievement and prosperity in these United States, a country that I proudly fought for and served for over twenty years.

Well I have a different opinion as I can't trust a convicted Felon. That like trusting your next door sex offender not to attack your daughter.

And trusting environmental lawyer with no medical experience to run our health care is really dumb.

But what happens I just staying under my rock. All the talk of Tariffs and attacking our closest neighbors has cause to consider just closing my business and let the crooks just screw the customers. I can't see where pissing our closest trading partners is going to be good.

Some my vendors are already pricing in the tariffs. An example is the Xtreme PTO X0391. Back July 24 it was listed at 224.86 now the new price file I just load has it at 296.14.The X0065 was 249.70 is now 329.26. And X0659 was 376.66 is now 502.22. So enjoy all the new price hikes.

The majority of the country has come to realize that liberals conducted a lawfare campaign against Trump and most charges have been dismissed. But, that doesn't matter now. I'd only point out that our economy has deteriorated significantly under Biden, inflation was over 9% and your costs have increased dramatically. Groceries, housing, and energy price increases have made people much poorer and Trump has a plan to reduce costs and restore prosperity for all. Give it a chance and do a fair examination of results. If Trump screws this up, I'll be the first to say I was wrong but the population prospered during his first term and his plans seem to indicate the second term will produce even better results.

Actually most my personal cost has gone down. The only housing cost is maintenance. Medical insurance has dropped to zero from $1200 per month. Even the property taxes dropped $302 this year. Many other the costs are down too. I even manage to reduce the business part purchase costs during the last four years and was passing that along to the customers but no more of that. It is just in the last month the retail prices are soaring via the price files my distributor sending me. For some time I will actually make more profit as the retail price of what I have in stock goes up. Matter of fact the inventory retail prices of what I have in stock has already climb a total of $15K in the last month. I just awaiting the tariffs to increase my overall profit on the in stock items even more.

Just two of the items I listed I will be making an extra $205.12

My housing cost is maintenance only as well but everything costs more. Caulking for windows up, paint up, garage door seal up and property taxes up 8%. Medical costs for me increased so I don't know how your's fell to zero unless you dropped coverage. Even medicare keeps going up. You're a rare and fortunate soul if you've seen price decreases across the board. Most have experienced a significant rise in costs. Please let us know how to accomplish that so we can all take advantage of your expertise in navigating the markets.

It is one of those trade secrets that requires me to kill anyone that I tell how to do it.:p
Otherwords I not telling how I am doing it or they close that loophole.

Actually I got a lot better insurance than I had now that I am with BCBS. Even a three supply of my Eliquis is $11.20; and the rest of the current meds are free.

And another thing the Instagram and Threads users are going to really enjoy. They will not be able to opt of political content. Just more things being shove down are throats.

It just like 365commerce.ms is forcing users to accept cookies that allow Microsoft to access your Wifi and Smart Phones. Well my sales rep has a little more work load now as he has to enter my orders instead of me doing it.
