Hershey uses a completely different process than European chocolates, which is why it has an aftertaste that European chocolates don't.
Newer American chocolates use the European method.
If I want something special, go to a small batch local chocolate maker.

The only solution is Ranked Choice Voting at every level of government. It's the only way 3rd, 4th and 5th parties can actually win elections and hold any power.

Many of the founders were humanists. George Washington wrote about God not interfering in the lives of men and that petitioning him with prayers was disrespectful. Humanists believed the god took a policy of non-interference.

1. There are many kinds of intelligence. Listen to people who excel in their fields and you will hear true genius in so many types.
2. People are only experts in their specific field. Being an expert in one field does not make you an expert in all fields.

Air traffic controllers were already shorthanded because DOGE fired so many of them who refused to come back. And there is a big shortage in hiring ATC in general. This will only make it worse.

As someone who lives between 3 international airports, seeing low flying planes means nothing. The real issue here is flying that low will burn a LOT more fuel. More green house gas emissions and an increase in operating cost that will get passed to consumers.

They feel more and more like the fake opposition that is allowed to exist to take blame and appease the masses with a few tid bits now and then. They are owned by the oligarchs.

If that is happening, complain to your state Public Service Commission and the governor's office. Utilities are not allowed to subsidize an individual customer. They can only make the rate payers reimburse system wide work that benefits everyone.

And the truth is that a trillion dollar valuation is in itself a speculation of value. Even the billionaire 's net worth is based on the speculative value of their stocks, investments, and what their companies would be worth if they sold them. It's all creative accounting they borrow real money with

Reminds me of that episode of Frasier where they meet their version of JD Salinger and read the manuscript for his second novel.
"I particularly like all the parallels to Dante's Inferno."
"Oh, you saw that?"
"We both did."
"I'm a hack ripping off the greats!"
Throws manuscript into fireplace.

Net worth includes everything you own. I'm worth more than him simply from the equity in my house. I have zero investments and little savings.
