My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Holy shit, indeed.
Jon Karl doesn’t just ask a smart question, he repeatedly refuses to take dodges for an answer and just keeps demanding a direct response and doesn’t let it go.
I think I vaguely remember this. It was called … journasomething?

Holy shit -- Kevin Hassett completely bombs on ABC when pressed by Jon Karl to explain how Trump can possibly justify 50% tariffs on Brazil even though the country has a trade *deficit* with the US

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state.
That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress:
Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists.
But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

It's truly shocking that the "businessman" who drove six companies into bankruptcy and campaigned on implementing policies that economists said would crash the economy has implemented policies that are crashing the economy.
Who could have seen this coming?

Here's a thread of all the MTG related Starter Packs I can assemble. This time, I'm going to pin the first post to my profile to make it easy to find it.
At the end, I'm going to share a couple of observations that I hope will help Starter Pack creators.
