      Just put your MAHA hat on and tell yourself it's to get you to eat leaner protein.

          It surely does suck. I’ve been consoling myself with the fact that the Federal Government is no longer actively enabling the sterilization and genital disfigurement of children… I’ll live with having to cut down on steak in exchange for that.

          Sure would have been nice to have both steak and healthy children, though.

              Reading comprehension fail? That’s what I pretty specifically said.

                The good news is the government won’t be able to fund sex changes ever again in the future either because in like 10 years we’ll be fresh out of any spending money at all as the interest on national debt absorbs every tax dollar.

                          "Trucks built in the U.S. are actually disadvantaged today compared to trucks built in Mexico," a spokesperson at Volvo's North American unit said.
                          In April, the company boosted its planned Mexico plant investment by $300 million to $1 billion, aiming to support its U.S. operations.

                          Volvo owns Mack truck brand too.

                              I just got a pretty good paycheck. Felt pretty good about it. Then I bought fried rice and an Arnold Palmer for lunch. $20… SMH…

                                  Presumably this will lead to more firings in data analysis.

                                          Northern Ireland already has Orangemen's Day on July 12th, so maybe he could co-opt that.

                                          It's generally commemorated with a bunch of bigoted old men wandering the streets going on about how great things used to be 100s of years ago and burning foreign flags, so he's pretty much there already.
