No. No, they do not.

We’re so close to using USDA money to prop up weapons manufacturing, effectively beating our plowshares into swords. I can almost taste the irony, which is good because there will be little left to eat if we let it get that far.

I reported the bigots, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt and a better world.

Sorry to reuse my comment, but it seems to fit here.

Also, wouldn’t this actually be deflation in the value of silver and / or inflation of the value of labor relative to it?

No, you’re sincere. We need more of that.

This is correct. I was just trying to be ironic. Sorry if I baited anyone.

Thanks for being kind to me and assuming the best. As it is, I was doing an ironic shtick in the same vein.

Hmm? I’m not familiar with that term. He just left me this bat with his friends’ signatures on it, and a few religious symbols. It’s pretty stained, but it’s got a lot of sentimental value. He didn’t say much except that he used it to teach Nazis a lesson by beating them…at the game of baseball. Always that pause near the end as grandma gave him a sharp look. She must have not wanted me to hear about his baseball stories.

“Hey, babe! New Hitler Youth merch just dropped!”

“Let me grab my grampa’s bat. He beat so many Nazis with this…at the game of baseball of course.”

“Of course.”

Yeah, but I got hosed on my lunch today. 10% APR for a pizza.

$1.99 per month for 4 months at 7.05% APR, over here in Tallahassee.

Crank up prices. Give residents a discount of the same amount. Profit.

You okay, Gulf Coast?

“Do my job for me?”

“No.”

It’s important to have a scarier, if less dangerous, boogie man when one endeavors to do terrible things to otherwise rational people.

Because we didn’t know what was going on. Reagan paved the way for Trump, and it goes back even further. This has been several decades in the making. Sorry if I’m preaching to the choir here. Thanks for entertaining my rant.
