@LuFins-Dad When Canada cut the penny, the rounding system cost Canadian consumers around $3.5 Million Dollars per year on groceries I don’t recall anyone raising that issue let alone complaining about it after the fact. People were just glad to be rid of the damn coppers. @jon-nyc Marketer prefer $3.99 to $4. In the hi-fi store everything was priced to the dollar. The owner’s argument was that given the nature of the equipment and if the client is serious, a penny is not going to affect their decision to purchase. His motto was “Hear it. Love it. Buy it.” Despite being a frugal Scot, he was not adverse to haggling either. In fact, he encouraged it when multiple component systems were under consideration.

Pass the barf bag.

"No more aid" is a bit misleading.

@jon-nyc said in Targeting the Trans-Surgery Whistleblower.: My guess is if he sues for malicious prosecution, if the facts are bad enough In the original indictment, iirc, there was an allegation that he violated HIPAA laws. No evidence he did that, and those charges were subsequently dropped. I'd really love to see what he disclosed, and how he got access to it. If you're on the staff of a hospital, you have access to surgical schedules, etc. However, if you access the chart of a patient who is not under your care, that could spell problems.

D.C. is interesting...

Wow. I’m glad you survived that @NobodySock .

I understand not letting people into unsafe areas, but if it's safe, let them start clearing the debris.

@jon-nyc said in Who thinks this is a good idea?: @LuFins-Dad said in Who thinks this is a good idea?: including Ruth Vader Ginsburg She did wear a black robe after all. I actually did that on purpose…

Dulles’ grandfather, also a SecState, was a colonel during the war. While he didn’t fight for the Confederacy he did take Knoxville. That should count.

#firstworldproblem #richpersonproblem LOL

You kiss yo momma with that filthy mouth?

Nice, very thoughtful

@jon-nyc Maybe Trump thinks there’s something useful in the JFK and RFK assassination files that he can use to blackmail RFK jr. when the time comes..

@George-K You regulate the casino! Are you confusing her with Mike Johnson?

Make them our 53rd state - after Canada and Greenland.
