BJ and the Bear!

I love this plan.

The Veridian Dynamics commercials alone would justify this show’s existence. Not that it needs it. It stands on its own merits.

I’ve heard it both ways

Wonderfalls

If you ever take the opportunity to watch these 13 episodes, be sure to read the “planned episodes” section afterwards to see how cursed the world is for Fox not having learned their lesson with having cancelled Firefly too soon.

A 20-something Niagara Falls souvenir-shop worker finds her life is changed forever when inanimate animal figures - toys, cartoon images etc. - begin talking to her. Their cryptic messages set into motion a chain of events that invariably lead her into the lives of others.

Where’s the Trump “I did this” stickers like I saw at gas pumps with Biden, anyway? At least this one would have some semblance of truth to it, with the bird flu mismanagement.

I’m going to make a point here, and I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think I am. If America falls apart, I think it will be the first one, not the only one. The influence America exerts on much of the rest of the world is huge, and the pressures on many other nations to follow any collapse with one of their own would be difficult to stop. Not just influence culturally, but economically, including but not limited to agriculture. Removing the agricultural influence provided by America alone will be devastating for much of the world (including non-agrarian parts America).

I hate these things.

4x4x4 = 64

6+4 = 10

10-3 = 7

7 != 4

Edit: line formatting

Exactly. Every vaccinated person is another unlikely vector to pass the disease along further, and we’re all better for it.

Not to argue with the article headline, but the stupidest line was crossed long ago. The administration is just padding their stupidity score at this point.

Q

Good trouble

You have the right answer here. Too many people wanting us to separate into two opposing groups before it is absolutely necessary. Which is exactly what those hoping for the demise of the nation want. Putin knows he can’t deal with a united United States, but if we’re too busy fighting ourselves, well then, he’s in the catbird seat.

Sounds similar to what my kids often get. It’s not that they couldn’t have more or better, just that it is all they’re willing to eat.

Why are the Democrats making everything so expensive?!

I’ll take “How to raise taxes for the lower classes without them noticing?” for $1200, Alex.

For an over-simplification, let me present 2 people living in a world where most everything is imported and most everything has a 25% tariff applied.

Steve lives paycheck to paycheck. Every penny he earns is spent. On top of his income tax, sales tax, and whatever other tax he pays for the right to purchase or use something, he also pays that extra 25% on everything for tariffs, which goes to the federal government. Just like a tax, but with a different name. On more or less 100% of his income. So, effectively, the tariff is an additional 25% tax on Steve.

Thermadore III, however, is a trust fund type of guy. He flits back and forth between the beach and the golf course, with no real job, and no real contribution to society. He pays a lower income tax rate than Steve on most of his income, because it’s from long term investments rather than money he had to work for. But because he only spends 10% of his income, he only pays the additional 25% tariff on a fraction of his money. 90% of his income is allowed to grow, tariff free, until such time as he decides to pull some extra cash out for another yacht. Which his accountant will probably advise him to purchase through a shell company registered with some country in the Caribbean, thus avoiding the extra tariffs, anyway.

Again, it’s an oversimplification. But placing large tariffs on vast amounts of stuff that normal people must buy is absolutely raising taxes on the little people.

Edit: grammar isn’t supposed to be this difficult

I’d like to see links, or at least screenshots, to these supposed outreaches, looong before we start accusing people who would apparently be warning us of such recruitment efforts as disloyal. Sounds like it’s just fElons trying to justify their past imbecilic actions by post dating the firings with “and they’re disloyal, too!”
