Took some time to figure out which pricy pairing was the topic but, after I found the first word, it provided a good clue and things fell together without using a hint.

With Trump, it’s not just that he makes it obvious he doesn’t care about anyone else less fortunate, but he almost seems to take pleasure in their struggles.
Truly, he is a despicable human being!

Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

So, I’m curious…after Trump is no longer POTUS and the White House (and maybe Senate & House of Representatives) are Democrats, what will become of the pile of rubble (and asbestos) that was once the East Wing of the White House, as it may still be sitting there?🤔🤷♂️
It will be expensive to clean up!

I was just at a London Ontario 🇨🇦 Toyota dealership for a service & noticed a two SUVs in the showroom: a bZ3X and a bZ5X.
Looking the models up online, what AI told me was that the bZ3X is exclusive to China & only the bZ4X would be available in Canada.
Seems AI is wrong again?🤷♂️🤦♂️
