My wife and kid were gone for a few days so I went grocery shopping. This is the kind of society we live in:

A box of crackers and a bag of potato chips.  Look at the size of the box compared to the sleeves of crackers. The potato chips were just opened and the bag was 2/3's air...like a balloon with some chips laying on the bottom.

$5 each for that.

It's bad enough that it's too expensive but they have to package it fraudulently to boot.

"Homeland Security
@DHSgov

There is no room in the United States for the rest of the world’s terrorist sympathizers, and we are under no obligation to admit them or let them stay here.

Anyone who thinks they can come to America and hide behind the First Amendment to advocate for anti-Semitic violence and terrorism — think again. You are not welcome here."

"Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ]
Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff charged to China by the United States of America to 125%, effective immediately. At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the U.S.A., and other Countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable. Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 Countries have called Representatives of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, and the USTR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to Trade, Trade Barriers, Tariffs, Currency Manipulation, and Non Monetary Tariffs, and that these Countries have not, at my strong suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, or form against the United States, I have authorized a 90 day PAUSE, and a substantially lowered Reciprocal Tariff during this period, of 10%, also effective immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

When I was a kid in Ontario we had millions of Monarchs and bees. I have not seen more than 1 Bee in 2 years. I have not seen a Monarch in decades. Trump needs to cut out that toxic filth they use on American crops. It crosses the border more easily than an illegal.

They gave me one. I decided I would rather smoke because that vape thing felt like it was doing damage to my lungs.

Hard to judge how much you are getting, until you get too much and cough for 10 mins. lol

After choking and getting way higher than I wanted to be, I learned to take small draws and hold it in my mouth to let it cool off a bit before sucking it down.

But yeah, I would rather just smoke. Likely very handy for kids in school and such like though. When doing one hitters in class, by the open window, the hardest thing to hide was the flic of the bic noise.  I reckon you could vape walking down the hall if you were careful and no one ratted you out.

Most times though we just walked a little way down the street and smoked up before 1st class and a lunch. Break time wasn't long enough but for half a Marlboro red and smoking pot was mostly a social activity back then.

"..So Trump just declared a 90 day pause on all new tariffs, except for China. This is the biggest dump and pump scheme I have ever seen. How much insider trading from people that knew this would happen a few hours before it was announced has happened? We will never know. This back and forth will only erode trust in the US even more. What a mess.."
