    Personally I don’t know why they picked $250. $360 would have been wiser. Divisible 24 times. Also Interchangeable with navigation charts.

    I also don't know why they picked that denomination, maybe they are trying to do this in the USA's 250th year from independence; there are a lot of other activities being planned to celebrate the USA's 250th "birthday."

    In mainland China (and this is pretty specific to mainland China, not the Sinosphere else where), "250" is slang for "idiot."

      They must be having a field day with that bill. It’s almost worth learning Chinese just to understand all the memes they must be making.

        Steve Witkoff probably mistranslated it as Mandarin for “genius” during the visit the other week.

          Maybe. In any event I'm not getting the impression that living in Italy lets the pressure release.

          You know and you see how much pressure release is occurring to me every day here my wall is public on Facebook and I know you’ve seen some of my posts and even though many of them are peppered with anti-Trump anti-bullshit. I am showing plenty of my new life that brings me to a new level of peace. I have no desire to go back to California. I think I’m gonna stay a while.

            It may very well have to do with the 250th anniversary but I think it’s more simple than that and that someone suggested to him a new $200 bill and of course Trump is never satisfied immediately said no 250.

                I think you unfriended me at some point. I can’t find you anymore.

                  You are actually one of the first people I would love to meet in person talk about life with. I am jealous of your ability to cook some of the most fabulous food as well as your appreciation for the things to chase it down with. and I went through different stages in my Facebook life of unfriending people who I just couldn’t understand where they saw the goodness in this guy , and I don’t remember specifically unfriending you, Mik. , but I would count you a true Facebook friend if you could find me or if I could find you back I left my link here or in some other thread when people wanted to see pictures and I’m just finding it so goddamn difficult to upload anything from an iPhone I can’t wait till my household goods get here and I can sit down at a computer again, but please let’s reconnect

                    I don’t want any friends that continue to give Trump credence to this day. I’m more flabbergasted with TG‘s response. It’s not the first time you’ve downplay all of his actions so it’s not terribly surprising but hers made my jaw drop and I’m beginning to wonder if there is a vibe in here where people of a more liberal mindset are forced to keep the peace in their mind by soft playing their rebuttals to things….

                    I read both TG’s and Mik’s posts in the spirit of being trenchant sarcasm over the issue.

                    Your rant is not compelling me to think otherwise.

                    And i am usually the first guy to defend the misinterprentations of texted words in this era of electronic communication. Lord knows how many gals passed on the chance with a real man of intellect humor and sarcasm , misreading me for a miscreant. C’est la vie.. the loss was theirs. And yes, i do owe TG the grace of allowing for her own 555 sarcasms. I stepped out of line with a closed mind in that moment

                      I don't really have an interest in constantly fighting with people. What's the point? It's not like anybody's going to say 'Shit, Phibes, you've been right all along, I am an asshole!'

                      Believe me if I knew that was the truth of things I’d be the first to say you’re an asshole ha ha ha ha ha ha
