Desperate time for the #SecretService. Will they get black masks like #ICE & #DHS? How about an path of fealty to Il Duce (•47)? They’re advertising WAAY out their rarget profile. Did they get a discount on the LinkedIn ad buy? Oh, wait, LI is owned by #Microsoft#Fire47 #FireDOGE

Product shrinkage (price hikes by having less product) shrank candy bars down to nubs. The toothpastes are identical, down to the bar code. One is 2oz smaller, but they are at the same price. The games producers play to cheat us of a fair price are legion. #pricing #eattherich

Don’t worry; there won’t be inflation on THAT account. Anyone want odds on which tax brackets will be the recipients of that largesse?

It’s straight on #AntiSemitism to call the #LevTahor cult a Jewish sect. Would anyone call the #Jeffs “christian” by any measure? The #BranchDavidians? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/20/w...

It's amazing what we remember and when. I remember things as a seven-year-old crisply: the smell of the hallway carpet and my parents and guests smoking in the next room, the wallpaper shimmering above me. And then I can't remember meetings from just two days ago...

Flittered thought: Promising green cards to college grads fundamentally misses the demographic realities: tradesfolk and others want living wages, not 4 years of debt, to do their jobs.

Flittered thought: Socialist death panels were feared by the easily frightened. Attempts to limit critical "benefits" like anesthesia are the product of profit-centric fear-mongers. Don't be afraid to treat citizens with equal respect for their lives.
