    It's just another tax on motorists. London has an inner Congestion charge, an outer ULEZ (ultra low emission zone). We are taxed for use of the road, on buying insurance, on buying petrol/gas, now taxed for just being in certain places and for polluting certain places.

    Production in the United States resulted in approximately 2.4 times higher costs. Tariffs will fix that, right, right?

    Skilled comedian, obviously juggling well within his limits. I've seen him do his motorbike juggle, classic clowning

    Testing out my new headphone setup with this...one of my favourite easier-to-listen-to jazz albums. Stan the Man! It apparently took all of three hours to record the entire album. Link to video

    @jon-nyc said in From my sister who works at the sheriffs office: My sister was a dispatcher aged 24 when 'The Gainesville Ripper' serial killer hacked up five co-eds about her age. The movie 'Scream' is based on him. That freaked her out. She had details that no one sane wants to hear. Some day, if she's still willing to talk, I will be willing to listen.

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly informed Trump on Sunday that the investigation “made a mess” and risked destabilizing financial markets. A source told Axios, “The secretary isn’t happy, and he let the president know.” Former economic government officials—including three former Federal Reserve chairs, four former treasury secretaries, and former Republican Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas—signed a statement describing the reported criminal investigation into Powell as an “unprecedented attempt to use prosecutorial attacks to undermine [the Federal Reserve’s] independence.”
