@catseye3 Fun tibit - cardboard box manufacturing is a highly regional industry. Because of the slim margin on boxes, it doesn't make sense to make them centrally and ship them around the world (ahead of being used).
P.S. definitions of "fun" vary person to person
Though it is interesting that one of the richest ladies in the world is from China and made her money recycling cardboard, most of it shipped from world wide.

Zhang Yin is China's richest person, and with a net worth of $4.7 billion, she's the world's richest self-made woman.
Even more remarkably, she did it by recycling what the United States was throwing away: cardboard. -

Facial expressions? I find him rather expressionless.
That facial expression reminds of the on camera face pull made by a former POTUS when he discovered the door was locked.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

I don’t know, the numbers staying flat while we are vaccinating over 2,000,000 a day hits me as kind of scary. If we weren’t vaccinating 2,000,000 per day, how bad would it be?

I added Germany because of the new lockdowns imposed by the Merkel government.

It was none other than Dubya....Yup, Scooby, we've got work to do when it comes to selecting good leaders.
Whenever I ask myself who was our GOAT president, try though I might, I can never avoid picking George Washington.
That is kind of depressing.
I wonder, though, how many other nations feel like they have the same problem. Is it more of a human issue, rather than an apathetic Americans issue?

In Britain, most would probably say Winston Churchill rather than, say, David Lloyd George or Clement Attlee, although in reality as a politician Churchill did one thing really, really well, and made some truly horrible blunders throughout his career, where Lloyd-George and Atlee were reformers who somewhat dragged Britain out of its frankly quite embarrassing, class-ridden past. I'm sure one US-born Briton at least would vote for Bo-Jo.
How many Americans really know anything about George Washington the politician rather than George Washington the heroic champion of freedom?

I don't see how Carlson's tone helps to dampen the country's growing animosity toward one another. I do see how it could be pretty effective in keeping conservatives pissed off.
I don't need any of that shit in my life so I don't listen.
Bingo!

He was definitely the greatest of all time for an 8 year period.

I think the argument is that it's OK to be obnoxious, aggressive and sow division when you're completely in the right.
Also, the irony of saying that 'liberals always call others stupid' in defence of Tucker Carlson and his ilk, who call others stupid all the time, is a bit freaking much.
Particularly when I didn't say anybody was stupid.

All you people who never listen to him are totally confident that he's a spittle flecked rabble rouser.
So he doesn't call people stupid?

I am sure he has called people stupid.
On the other hand, in a video of a monologue posted here yesterday, he was careful to understand and not judge those who attempt to come to America illegally from countries with much more difficult circumstances. You should listen to that one. He blames the politics of effectively open borders of the left, but not those who quite rationally take advantage of those politics, to better the lives of their families.

I appreciate that you really like him, but I've seen a couple of these monologues, and they're not really saying anything particularly profound. Obviously, the issue of illegal immigration is a very difficult one, and many of those trying to come into the US and other countries can hardly be blamed for seeking a new life. As an aside, I found the anti-Mexican and immigrant rhetoric that Trump used in his 2016 campaign to be extremely unpleasant - describing them as 'rapists, murderers, and presumably some good people' was appalling. Again, many seem to disagree, but I thought he was pandering to bigots.
