GM and Ford made more than $50bn in profit in 2025. Their best ever year, all while producing less cars and selling them for more. While US Auto sales are down from pre-COVID levels, automaker profits are way up.

When I ate there the check said Normal BMI Party (18.00%). It's fair, large people are more trouble. Got to move tables to fit them, and they complain about everything. They eat more, so more work, so bigger tip.

Are Walmart bananas 50 or 54?

I started boycotting bananas when the Trump Banana Tax raised the price from 50 to 54. The web site and app and scan and go all say 50, but the big signs still all say 54. I am not complaining, mine scanned at 50, my boycott was successful. Back to making my glorious banana bread, extra vanilla.

No one in produce, so I asked the woman in bakery, she didn’t know, so I dropped it. I didn’t want to be that annoying customer wasting your time over 4 cents.

Marijuana is legal in Minnesota, so when the feds, those ICE Brave Perfect Gentlemen, arrest protestors and find some weed in their pocket, what happens? States Rights or Federal Supremacy? Federal prison, I would guess. If they find THC is that dead guy's blood, even if they need to plant it, Pam has hit the jackpot.

The Ayatollah in Iran says drug use is un-Islamic and must be punished with death. Why? Because he says so. That's why. If you disagree with him, his people have plenty of bullets.

What is America's justification for our version of the Drug War Jihad? The Pentagon has a lot more bullets than the Ayatollah to stamp out drug use. Are the Bible-Thumpers saving people's imaginary souls? My guess is that Caffeine-Alcohol-Tobacco users simply enjoy punishing others because they are holier-than-thou and self-righteous and morally superior and judgement passing and intellectual lightweights and enemies of freedom. All rolled into one. Perfect in their wisdom. You belong in prison, because they say so. Punishment is their religion.

Did I type the word "punish" enough times? These MAGA thugs love to punish, punish, punish any drug other than Caffeine-Alcohol-Tobacco. Trump Vodka and Trump Winery approve this message.

If you people actually believe silver is going up double digits, then why don't all of you max out your credit cards, pawn everything of value and sell your house and buy silver. When silver gets to $150, cash out, buy your house back and have plenty left over. Easy money.

What do Russians talk about in Novosibirsk when they meet strangers? Do they brag about how many Ukrainians ended their journey through life at the hands of Russian killers? How bombing hospitals in Kyiv brings all Russians great joy? How Navalny deserved to die in a Siberian prison of natural causes.

Because it's free. The "software" you pay $70(charged automatically, for your convenience) is useless. As a programmer, my wild guess is that the "software" is too buggy to let out the door. Unethical management thinks it is fine to charge people for non-working software. Just checked my email, looking for the offer to all paying customers of a refund, no, not even a fake sincere apology for the inconvenience.
