I addressed that in the OP


No. You blew it off in the OP by a fleeting mention and argued for three paragraphs about a tank of gas. Every $0.01 rise in gas prices per gallon reduces consumer spending in the U.S. by about $1.5 billion. That means the rise of about $1.00 in a gallon of gas costs the U.S. economy about $150 billion per year. That is about .5% of expected U.S. economic output for 2026.Not substantial, but not insignificant.

Ah yes. The person who spends almost zero on gas per year arguing the concerns about rising price of gas is irrational.
You cannot POSSIBLY think the only impact gas prices have for a person is the amount they spend on a tank of gas. It has a direct impact on energy bills, food, clothing, and just about everything else you pay for.

I’d be shocked if you were not complaining about gas prices and inflation during the last administration.

Gas prices fluctuate. It is a part of life. But the people that rationalized higher prices four years ago are complaining about them now. And the people complaining four years ago are rationalizing them now. It is comical how people’s opinions completely change on the exact topic depending on who is in office.
Humans have poor memories that tends to make things up. Who would have ever guessed? Exactly why eye witnesses are remarkably unreliable

You have not watched the last two games of you think this. Perhaps the fans like you have quit would have been more accurate.

Why not have the surgery if it is only a three week recovery?
Smoking has made a major comeback with college kids. It has been very surprising to see.

Because people are sick of California, not because Vegas is booming in the casino tourist industry.

It’s also designed to tax you when you are at a higher income bracket. BBB was not a great thing for higher earners.

Definitely a southern thing. Usually done by people who complain about beggars at gas stations and street corners, but the concepts are identical as a practical matter.

That's a trust issue (or lack thereof) that will wreck what is supposed to be the deepest, most sincere, and most sacred relationship on this earth.


If you have to share a bank account with your spouse that is a serious trust issue. Imagine marrying a person and not even trusting them enough to have their own bank account. You probably insist on being able to track their every movement on their IPhone, too. Psycho level lack of trust.

Spouses who insist on these are usually control freaks and try to pin their psycho level lack of trust off as being completely trusting.

Why would you marry someone you cannot even trust to have her own bank account without you monitoring her spending?

except for the 80% of men that gain 100 lbs in the first 5 years of marriage


And equal number of women let themselves go after marriage. A man that gains weight will still age much better than a woman that gains weight. It has nothing to do with taking care of themselves, it is just nature/luck. Nature versus nurture, nature always wins.
My biggest issue with gas prices are the hypocrisy. The same people who were ripping Biden for high gas prices five years ago are now defending high gas prices. The people who were saying high gas prices were not a major issue when Biden was president are now all up in arms about gas prices under Trump.

It’s because we are old. Jlo wore something similar when our generation was much younger and it was very popular amongst us back then.
Inspection stickers are a scam. More of a hassle than anything else, but also revenue generators. Three bordering states, Arky, MS and TX do not require them for non-commercial vehicles.

Theyre all older than me by about 5 years or so but damn if I ain't aged better than any damned one of them


Men age like wine. Women age like milk. Men reproduce far later in life than women, so nature is kinder to their aging process.
In 20-25 years, these current times will be the good ole days.

Zero chance I would be able to live in an electronic free zone. It would be healthier, but my work will never allow me that opportunity. I doubt I will ever retire, but if I do I may consider it. Still unlikely.

The reason it's not told is because Anthony Johnson was black and Robert Parker was white.


John Casor, the chattel being sued for, was black, though.

The case Johnson v. Parker in 1654. The case codified in the U.S. that a person could be "owned" for the his entire life.


I think the case predates the U.S. by about 120+ years.
