  1. Current democrat senator, Bob Menendez, was charged by Biden's democrat controlled justice department of taking bars of gold from Egypt. Save your breath about Clarence Thomas.
  2. A black coffee at the airport is $5 and they want to spin the tablet around for a tip? I have no problem going through the different screens to get to 0% and spin it back around for them. Is Culver's still solid or have we lost that too?
  3. This might help bring more people back into the hospitality industry? Restaurants, hotels, etc. are just awful now. Almost every meal I eat out is a disappointment these days. I rejected a hotel room for the first time the other day and I stay in a lot of different places. No daily room service either, have to go to the front desk to get anything. I end up staying in the cheaper places, taking the lowest cost flights, and eating at fast casual places. If I'm going to be disappointed, at least I won't feel cheated.
  4. You can't tell these executives to avoid doing the "current thing", it's all they want to do and talk about.
  5. That reminds me of @spin_dry's favorite child. Even Tesla is taking a major beating.
  6. Think of all the dealerships out there Ford pushed to spend around a $1 million to be able to sell their EVs and then 2 years later comes back and says nah, nevermind, your competitor that didn't invest that still gets to sell the EVs too. Ford is bleeding cash on their EV program and needs these vehicles on every dealership lot. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/13/ford-ends-ev-dealership-program.html
  7. Another one bites the dust.
  8. I hear Joe wants to sit down?
  9. Or when Biden vaporized the Afghanis who they claimed were terrorists getting ready to attack us but were actually just charity workers hauling around water?
  10. Can you imagine the outrage from the left if Trump had done that? They let Clinton get away with that but went after Trump with 34 felonies with decades in prison time for paying on an NDA before he was even president.
  11. I nuked my PayPal account years ago. Will need to send a check.
  12. Duluth, Grand Marais, and the reservation. I wouldnt be surprised if Lake County flips though.
  13. It's higher for a family plan. We have two individual plans. I have everything beyond the $1,000 minimum invested in a S&P 500 index fund. It's set up to automatically invest the extra. I looked at the accounts the other day and between the two we had $30k in there!
  14. Conservative by Hennepin County standards. The "wrong candidate" excuse gets thrown out all the time. Is that why we have a DFL trifecta and haven't voted for a republican president in decades? In 2020, Trump lost Nicollet, Blue Earth, and Winona counties. Plus he lost counties like Washington and Dakota by a wider margin. Look at Olmsted (Rochester) too, Trump lost by 0.7% to Hillary but around 11% to Biden. Trump can gain 5,000 votes in each of those little red counties but he has to make up over 300,000 votes from Hennepin County alone. The math just doesn't work without winning the suburbs (Scott, Dakota, and Washington) and closing the gap in Hennepin and Ramsey.
  15. Gen Z and Millennials are learning real quick that going through a period of easy money and inflation sucks if you don't already own assets. Housing costs and affordability are their top concerns. At least they might pause before they vote a straight Dem ticket this time around.
  16. The big cities have been going further and further left while the rural communities are shrinking. A republican can't win a state wide race without winning the suburbs. That's where state wide elections will be won and lost.
  17. If they printed more money and kept interest rates at zero forever, I bet it would go even higher!
  18. Think of how few on that sort of salary save the 20%. They just take the $90K and vaporize it. Meanwhile, both of our 401Ks will get maxed out at $23k and HSAs at $4,150 this year. Over $54k in savings without even counting the employer match.
  19. We get Juneteenth off but not MLK Day. Maybe catch up on some landscaping projects I have been putting off.
  20. But do you get the day off from work?
