Had to come out of retirement to do contract work in order to maintain lifestyle and investments. I don't see that ending soon. We are also talking about regaining what was lost as well, I take it. Since prior investments that were thriving stopped almost immediately. Who writes these questions?

Randy Bolden

I have rental properties. The rents had to be increased to cover for inflation.

Steven Head

Prices haven't dropped 20 percent. That is the only way they could have rebounded from the 3 year disaster we've experienced.

Max DeYoung

The inflation has pushed people into higher tax brackets. Everyone lost except the IRS.

The economy won't recover for at least twenty years.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.

Missouri should enforce strict laws against animal abuse—because any society that calls itself evolved must protect the voiceless. Cruelty tolerated is cruelty normalized, and no state that values progress can afford that.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Yes the voiceless, to include humans as well. Babies need voices as well.

Chris Macy

Currently, MO is the country's leader in puppy mills. Punish these horrible monsters who traffic in the misery of poor animals!

Way over due!!

Denise Taylor

Dogs are the most loyal animals and love you unconditionally no matter how they are treated and it is just heartbreaking to see them mistreated or abused!

Missouri has been notorious for puppy mills that sell sick puppies and treat dogs horrible.

Cindy Hall

Because we need to be advocates for the animals that get taken advantage of. They can’t fight for them for themselves. Some humans are very cruel

Fat Guy Outdoors

Totally agree, look at how we treat our children in the womb as if they are a burden when actually its us who didn't take accountability for our own actions. Humans are selfish and cruel.

I think the more pertinent question would be should dogs and other domesticated animals kept as pets be considered property or have other more humane rights? This has nothing to do with breeding. The dogs were neglected and suffered immensely.

Eric Smith

We need more room fulls of people in J.C. working out the details of sports betting, thereby sending exponentially more people into compulsive gambling, and eventually bankruptcy. To hell with protecting the innocent animals.

Fat Guy Outdoors

No, they should have tougher laws on people breeders.
