If you can do Dude Ram Ranch with no pauses then you’ll have earned my respect!

Amen.

The elephant is the only animal with 4 knees.

Just Google “how to increase my fire risk to save $2 on a new LED”. Should be a how to guide or two out there.

Only as long as the you shaped hole is lucky enough to avoid any studs.

Lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (lowest in history).

Obvious tax cuts for the rich.

That’s all his financiers hear.

Constantly attacks marginalized groups.

That’s all his voters hear.

Everything else goes in one ear and out the other, muddied up with enough “whataboutism” and “both sides” rhetoric from the financiers to keep the voters from actually considering alternative options.

physical harm to any living being

Here’s about half a billion instances or so of harm to living beings every day.

Let alone the tens of billions living each day in conditions that would be considered “abuse” if I told you I kept my dog in a similar situation.

In theory? It’s all about traceability and consent, preferably with a third party auditing system. A good skull salesman should be able to provide you with documentation of the origin of your skull and the consent obtained, as well as a contact at their third-party auditing firm. if the skull is fair trade, they should also be able to provide evidence that they are paying above market rates for their skull harvesters.

No president has ever been or will ever be perfect, but we’ve had some good steps since LBJ:

Clinton’s increased taxes on the rich, defense spending cuts, etc, got us our first and last government surplus years since '69, and made a little progress on welfare, but that was largely hampered by a Republican takeover of the House in '94

Obama passed the ACA, which was pretty meaningful to the middle class. Again, further progress got hampered by Republicans in congress in the later years of his presidency

Biden has passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which has lots of progressive incentives that benefit middle class families, including tax breaks for home efficiency improvements, renewable energy, and electric vehicles. He has also helped wipe away billions of dollars in student loan debts, benefiting middle class families (but again, you can thank Republicans for that not moving further or quicker)

You’ll note the constant tend though - since the president doesn’t write the laws, without congressional support, progressive ambitions get killed.

that actually has a reasonable chance of getting in

unless you’re willing to vote third party

To be abundantly clear, with the system as designed in the US, third party (presidential) candidates do not have any chance of “getting in” this election, let alone a “reasonable” chance (in certain areas, some options may exist for lesser political appointments).

Voting third party is at best a weak attempt to signal preference for future elections, but at worst a gift to whichever party or candidate you consider to be “most bad”.

By all means, protest vote in the primaries, campaign for candidates you believe in, and most importantly, discuss the issues that are important to you to help bolster public awareness, but please, PLEASE, don’t fall for the con that is voting 3rd party in the election.

I don’t know who your third party favorite is, but do yourself a favor and look at who is donating to their campaign, and what other campaigns those donors support - a lot of money is thrown at 3rd party candidates to draw votes away from credible political opponents.

Wanted to duplicate my items in D2 (I was young). Instead the file I was instructed to try made me drop all of my items. Jokes on them though, my gear was trash at the time.

Maybe buy a few companies I really hate and just shut them down?

This might actually put a dent in the €5B :D all of the rest you listed is probably another 5% max.

€5B is an unfathomably large number

Investments, trust funds, paying off debt and my mortgage. Set up enough in investments that I’ll always have a million or so in post-tax interest income.

Conservatively, well call this 5% locked up

Trust funds and investments for my family so they have money coming in.

Not sure how big your family is, or how much you want to have them coming in, but well call this +5%

10% spent

Remodel my house. +0.1%

Rent a condo in Wrigleyville during the Cubs season. Rent a condo in Mesa during spring training. +0.01%

Open a bar or two. +0.1%

Hire a dietician/personal cook. +0.01%

Buy a handful of cars, the most extravagant would probably be a Catterham. +0.01%

Open an automotive shop to restore cars. I know that’ll be a loss but it will be a good hobby for something I like to do. +0.1%

Travel a bunch. Follow the Cubs for a season and go to every game. +0.01%

Finally not stress about going out to dinner. +0.001%

Now were to a whopping 10.571% “spent” with most of it invested in ways that will pay back entirely in your lifetime. What do you do with the other 4.5B?

I self host, and drop encrypted backups onto a cloud storage provider. If anything, cheap storage is going to cost me more because I’ll be inclined to back more up.

Hard to fault them though, hard to imagine they are expecting high enough sales volume to drive the price down
