    @Klaus said in Tariffs for TokTok: I believe the main reason why Trump loves tariffs so much is that they give him endless opportunities to reward or punish the people/companies/countries he is dealing with. I think Trump has really bought into some of the economic policies of McKinley and the overall lack of inflation in the 19th century. Would not surprise me to see a $1 coin issued that contained a small amount of silver.

    If you're a Transylvanian transvestite slapping teenage girl's asses in the soccer locker room, while your weiner rotates at attention, reasonable takes on a different meaning.

    Also I remember when they had to widen the highway to Amarillo, TX to accommodate all the GOP AGs driving to get their nationwide injunction requests in front of Judge Kaczmarczyk.

    Right, right - from each according to their ability, to each according to his needs.

    They need to make a concerted effort to be politically fair. If a concert or play has public funding, it should be fodder for public tv or radio. Affiliates should be better at sharing programming, especially in radio. Nashville could probably generate multiple programs as could NYC and LA. Public radio and TV should be the official EBS. For radio, issue some new AM 50K Clear Channel licenses.

    I really do not understand why it’s so difficult to remove them. They have no legal right to be there and they’ve done damage.

    But it’s a reminder that this did happen on Pete’s watch. Maybe he was paying too much attention to keeping airplanes safe.

    @NobodySock said in Destiny, is it a real thing?: @Copper said in Destiny, is it a real thing?: Sardinia offers €15,000 (about $16,200 USD) to those who move to a rural area and renovate a home. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nri/migrate/17-places-around-the-world-that-will-pay-you-to-move-in/sardinia-italy/slideshow/111550949.cms many have made mention to this deal Italy has going on trying to reinstigate population growth in depressed areas of the country, mostly small towns that are near ghost towns now as the kids, when done with school all end up moving out of country for work. There are sticky rules to take such an offer though. One would be required to pay for renovations desparately needed in these homes in question. much more than the 15K. Yes, I have seen those offers of a house for a euro. From a distance, looks like fun, but I am sure that the reality is not quite as fun. LOL

    Mostly just incomplete. But remember the wisdom of the philosopher Charlie Sheen - you don’t pay them to sleep with you. You pay them to go home afterwards.

    Bill Barr is educated, experienced, and accomplished. He is also correct, when he agrees with me.
