Not that I have much money to worry about, but the speed at which the buying power of the dollar has nosedived the past four years plus the conversation about the very real possibility of a multi-pr...

Re: Can the USPS get any worse?

For us, it's not just the USPS in general, but the doofuses they hire to handle mail. Our local mail carrier looks like some hillbilly from the backwoods, and is constantly messing up people's mail (we have one of those community mailboxes): putting mail in the wrong box, putting parcels in the wro...

Re: SCOTUS Unanimously Rules against Trump Ballot removal

It had to go that way...but I admit I'm surprised at the unanimous decision.

So much for the argument that it was only the conservative judges legislating from the bench.

Thank you, SCOTUS, for helping reaffirm that America is still America...and not Venezuela or Cuba. :???:

Re: TX:The mean streets of Houston - random mom murdered in front of kids

I wonder if it was Bud Light. The latest numbers are in. The estimate now is that deciding to use transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote Bud Light has cost Budweiser as much as $1.4 billion in sales. That right there ain't chicken feed. :shock: https://www.abc12.com/news/business/bud-ligh...
