The same way that AT THE TIME everyone rooted for the cowboys, not the Indians (Native Americans, but taking a little poetic license); everyone rooted for the glorious British Empire, not any the the “backwards 3rd world countries” they invaded; etc. The key is that public opinion is swayed by those that own the media, and that means rich old white men.

The real question will be is +3% on everything you purchase greater or less than $1600. If you spend less than $53,000.00 per year it’s a benefit. We know the corporations will simply pass the 3% on to consumers (likely with additional percent or three thrown on for good measure). But if you’re spending less than 50K with those corporations it’s still beneficial.

So no one is going to work on a Saturday… I feel like there’s maybe 5 better days of the week which might make a bigger impact.

Omnisexuality??? Ok, I accept that as Gen X I’m old. I grew up stating I was Bi because that’s the term we had at the time. Now I still say Bi, but clarify “or really Pan as the kids call it nowadays because I believe all the toys in toy box are fun to play with and I value the person (and personality) over plumbing”. Now what is Omni?

A nod to our straight allies 😉

Odd, the one on the right are my plans. I don’t know what the salad eating is about.

50501, No Kings protests, Hands Off our Democracy protests… we have done several simultaneous protests across all 50 states at the same time with No Kings having over 5 million protesters nationwide. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Kings_protests

Shower parties aren’t a thing anymore? In my days scumbags were assisted in their shower by a few larger shipmates and various brushes. It usually only took one to convince them to mind their smell in such cramped quarters.

I’m sure about the time he gets Hugo Boss to design the new ICE SS uniforms he’ll be telling everyone how the little guy with the tiny mustache was just misunderstood and his stormtroopers were great for the German economy.

GOTOH make great tuning pegs and while you’re at it you can get locking tuners that make string changes a breeze. Plus they have a lot of options for color combos.

I agree with you 100%. I do also feel that those files may be the Achilles heel as both sides of the aisle (that haven’t actually engaged in those activities, which I believe and hope are the vast majority) can agree on.

I’d like to see a VR experience for everyone getting a car license. Put them virtually on a bike and expose them to what we deal with.

And yeah, I occasionally think I’m really getting crazy on the bike, riding fast and loose for the rush; then I watch videos of real fearless and skilled rocketeers and realize just how old I am 🤣

I played Atari 2600 back when it was the console to have. I didn’t see a pixel that wasn’t square until I was a man. You think you know old gaming. I was born into it, molded by it, and it made me what I am today; an old man with back pain.

“cynically used to disadvantage American workers' competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world.” Seems to me Socialists aren’t the ones who have been exporting American jobs to “third world countries”… seems like more of a Republican, Billionaire Epstein class kind of thing. Perhaps we need to review who really needs to be denaturalized and deported.

Get a motorcycle. Ok, so if you don’t know how to ride, get a cheap second hand bike under 600cc and take the MSF Basic Rider course. Guaranteed to spice up your life, give you a desire to get out of the house, and you’ll meet many cool people.
