Much of the bank bailout actually made the treasury a profit. It was paid back.

When your ass is truly on the line, your brain will take over quite nicely. I don’t mean mere fear or apprehension, I mean, “I will die if I don’t act as needed.” Many go their whole lives without that experience. This is not an “illness” thing.

Broke my femur and while waiting on surgery in the ER, the nurse than came on shift and checked my chart was the woman I had been partying with the night before. :)

Cool anti-hero vs. actual dirtbag.

You got an economic system in your back pocket that doesn’t allow money to funnel upwards? Bring it out! It’s not capitalism you’re complaining about, it’s plutocracy we’re living under.

Adam Smith would be horrified at our monopolies. 1980s conservatives would be horrified! Yeah, the economy has always served the wealthy, but it wasn’t anything like today.

He can’t. The strict command and control structure between POTUS and launch keys will break down, just as it did with 3 or 4 events during the Cold War.

Late reply, I’m rarely on here but I wanted to answer you and anyone coming along in the future. US here, talking about conditioner we use to make our hair soft and shiny after using shampoo.

It’s happened a few times, no doubt with different products. The reddit thread was saying it’s because the conditioner residue dries the skin and you should wash off with soap. Funny enough, I just did this yesterday, for the first time in many months. No problem so far!

I don’t get YouTube ads. Between my Pihole and Ublock, I see nothing.

That and many other simple laws. I’ve been saying these DCs are a local government problem. Nearly every one of these building permits could be denied by city and county goverments.

I live on the bleeding edge of a small town. This is reason #476 why I’ll never live in a city again.

Saw an interview with him last night. They were totally unprepared to film that video, amateur hour. He was young and scared shitless, made up the dance on the spot. Guy doing backflips? “Hey guys! Watch what I can do!” In the video he went. There was a guy yelling out his apartment window for them the shut the fuck up down there. Wardrobe? Nope, those were his own clothes.

I watch YouTube on a TV, as the good lawd intended, not on a pocket screen.

Nah, SCOTUS pushed back on Trump, first time around and this time as well. The administration had a solid run of Supreme Court wins for several months because they only brought cases they thought were slam dunks. Now that we’re getting into meaty subjects like birthright citizenship, the justices look to stand firm. Too little, too late, I know.

Among other reasons you’ve been given:

• The figured MN folks would be peaceable and lay down.
• No open carry of weapons.
• Didn’t think they’d show out in deep winter. (HAH!)

I bought one! Not that brand, forget what I have, but I can’t afford to replace the carpet so I need it.

Exactly one.

Same play, everytime isn’t it?

• Ridiculous threat.

• A “deal” is made.

• Capitulation.

• “Look at what a great dealmaker I am!”

If this is apparent to a dumbass like me, I cannot see why the media cannot simply say it out loud.

In his first admin, watching his tweets was as good as watching Fox News.

I have no investments. Cashed out what little I had over the past two years of unemployment.

But you have a point in looking to opportunities. Always ways to profit from change and crisis. I’m more worried about the overall health of our individual investments. People usually aren’t hustling their money around. Most simply contribute to their Roth or IRA or whatever and let the market play out over decades, just as we were taught.

How?! Every cop I’ve seen has a proper holster to prevent that. If you know how they work you might snatch it, but it would still be a bit awkward.
