They bought less items, but everything is more expensive due to tariffs.

Had quick listen to a radio show explaining how landlord laws on raising rent are a hassle....so why not sell your apartment building to our company.

You gave me an idea. What if all those into FIRE and retiring early worked one more year and donated 100% of that final year’s salary to local food banks and world hunger organizations. That would be a life well lived.

Wow... I grew up close to there and didn't know this existed. Many thanks to the local citizens who fought for a long time to save this land. I'll have to go visit.

Interesting. And other questions would be interesting. What if added taxes were max $1,000 per year (as it is in Canada) and covers every medical expense. Or what if we reduce the bloated military budget enough to give everyone free healthcare. Or tax the rich their fair share so we're all covered.

And we are now hearing the shooter had mental health issues. Knowing that, you don't solve things by sending 500 more guards into DC, and deporting more immigrants. The Trump people are just plain stupid.

People sensed all the last minute activity by Harrell was not honest. Just electioneering.
