It’s infuriating that she isn’t President right now, we would be so much better off. This may turn out to be the worst mistake American voters have ever made. Really? All she did was do her annoying fake laugh and talk about elephants. Wtf did you see that inspired you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention the environmentalists should be happy. Seemed so obvious. Quote Eliminating the penny could potentially save the US economy a significant amount of money, with estimates suggesting a savings of around $85 million annually. However, some argue that the savings might be offset by increased costs associated with nickel production and other factors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gepetto 1,288 Posted yesterday at 06:11 PM On 4/27/2025 at 7:57 PM, The Real timschochet said: If the economy was doing OK I think most of the public would be indifferent to Trump going after his political enemies. With the economy not doing OK it’s going to annoy a lot of people. Not that it matters to Trump; despite his bluster he’s not running again so he doesn’t care much about public opinion. But it WILL matter to other Republicans, especially those forced to run on his coattails in a year and a half. How is the economy not OK? Inflation is down since Trump took office. The stock market is not part of the economy, and it's recovering anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very conservative. Spending $1000 a month on groceries instead of $1700 just adds on another European vacation every year. The difference in property tax, a trip to Tahiti.

Traveling for work means the hotels and flights are covered (prefer Hawaii to Tahiti) so the vacations are better than I could ever hope for. I consider myself very lucky. I hope everyone does.
