    Money & Economics

    Sorry, but this math just doesn't work out. Even if we got a lot of coffee from Brazil (which I don't think we do), a 50% tariff would not mean a doubling of price. It would mean that the green raw beans from Brazil, before the value-add of shipping, roasting (which is done here as far as I...

    Nah, I buy coffee fresh from local roasters (yes, a coffee snob, if you will). I prefer coffees from Ethiopia and Kenya.

    If the implication is that tariffs are responsible for a 50% increase in price, I call bullshit. There is no fucking way.

    Stupid bitch is trying to defend the indefensible. Anyone mob member punching or kicking a sole defenseless person should be shot on sight.

    Actually, it's the other way around... The red in meat is due to oxygen. The center will turn brown because it doesn't have exposure to oxygen. And it's not just meat that they do this with... I bought a two-pound bag of rainbow carrots, and they showed the white, yellow, and purple ones...

    Seriously, with all the fake and petty bullshit that the left threw at Trump to try to put him in prison, does anyone think that if there was even the slightest amount of truth to him being "in there" in an incriminating manner, that the left would NOT have used it against him?

    No, not at all. Either renting at high prices or holding inventory off market will make prices higher for open market sales.

    And all the left will say is that you're racist for pointing that out. We're lost FUCKED if they ever come back into power.

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    Well, Abraham Lincoln is dead, so that could be true. I think, however, that it would be worse than if she governed like a dead person. She'd try to do a bunch of stupid shit to further destroy our country.

    Teacher stopped by police and fined $500 for buying 'legal' fireworks

    I'm always fascinated by things like this... Why do they make a point of this person being a teacher? It's completely immaterial to the story! I just don't get it.

    My understanding is that the tax bill cannot be used to make changes to an entitlement program such as Social Security. It would require its own separate legislation. It seems like they tried to come up with something that would do the equivalent without having to present other legislation...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    She's got one hell of an ego... Thinking she is "somebody" and that she's smarter and better than everyone else. Frankly, I just wish they'd all go away. We have a revolution almost 250 years ago to get rid of this royalty bullshit, yet for some reason a lot of Americans seem to care. Fuck it...

    Heart-warming story, but would have been better if the suspect was dead, along with the accomplice.

    Nest Thermostat with Home Assistant?

    Quoting myself... I must be getting old. But I digress. An update... Since I had nothing better to do this morning, I tried the instructions again, comparing those from Hubitat as well as Home Assistant. Went into the g*gle environment, wiped out all the old stuff I had, and started anew...

    Nest Thermostat with Home Assistant?

    My two cents... I run Hubitat as my "main" hub, but also have an AppleTV 4k that runs HomeKit, and I have picked up Home Assistant. I also have two Nest thermostats. I have tried and tried, following the "Nest for Dummies" tutorials, but I cannot get my thermostats to work reliably inside...

    Healthcare

    There is some reasoning to hospital billing. A lot of hospitals use these insane charges to write off "charity" to zero out their bottom lines. To go completely off-topic, Social Security is a Ponzi scheme that relies on an ever-increasing number of people paying in, and that's not happening...

    Progressive Liberal Hypocrisy

    He's a liberal, but a "classic" liberal. The "progressives" have co-opted the left wing and brought them so far to the left that they are positively ridiculous these days. Due to this shifting of the goalposts, he's actually closer to conservatives now than he is to the Democrat party. I LOL...
