watching a Kari Lake interview...i just realized WHY...

i dislike her on such a primal and visceral level:

she’s a nazi dominatrix.

maybe this is self-evident and obvious to others, but it just seemed to slap me in the face this time.

A U.S. hundred dollar bill is .0043 inches thick...

(check my math here…i’m neither stable nor a genius)

per google.

A billion dollars is 10 million $100 bills.

10 million $100 bills is a stack of bills 43,000 inches high.

Converted to feet, that’s a stack of $100 bills that is 3,583.3 feet high.

Musk, Bezos, a few others…each are worth over $200 BILLION .

That means EACH of them are worth more than a stack of $100 bills that is 716,666 feet high.

Converted to miles , that’s comes to a stack of $100 bills that is over 135 miles high.

Yeah…let’s eat the rich. I’m gettin’ kinda hungry.

So it turns out trump did "closing duties" at McDonalds...

cleaning the countertops/tabletops, emptying the trash, mopping the floors, degreasing the vent-a-hoods, etc.

right? right?

Does Trump have a food handlers license?

everywhere i’ve been in the usa requires kitchen staff to have some kind of training and then apply/pay for a license that you are required to have on your person while you are on the job.

the training includes proper personal hygiene…hand washing, hair nets, etc.

is he following these regulations? or are they another set of things he ignores?

any history/trivia/etc buffs here? Question:

spouse recently acquired some old family pics. One in particular has a quote written on the back. Some background…

1) probably (almost certainly) 1950’s
2) probably North Dakota
3) handsome young man on motorcycle, hands in pockets
4) i have searched the internet for the following quote, but have gained no insight

and now my question: on the back of the photo in pencil is written in cursive script:

“50,000 Babylonians can’t be wrong”-
(They all want to buy one)—

does that phrase ring a bell for anyone?
