    Got a letter from SS that will no longer pay tax on my SS. I never thought I should have to anyway as it was also paid going in. Taxing ss is bs.

    Taxing SS is BS, I agree. Unfortunately you're likely going lose more from this asshole's policies than you'll gain in tax relief.

    The most environmentally friendly solution possible is to keep the car you have.

    While I'm sorry you are losing your source I am glad to see this blowback. Hopefully it happens far more and destroys Trump.

    It's been incredibly difficult to find hardware. Plumbing etc has been tougher... Some stores are just out of stuff and they don't know when it's coming in...

    Two containers of raspberries cost what I would pay for a whole chicken.

    Feta cheese is traditionally made from sheep's milk, but American feta is made from cow's milk, which doesn't have the same flavor. For authentic feta it's necessary to buy imported.

    Dear lord, couldn't believe what a small piece of imported feta cost.

    Trump tariffs just ruled illegal by court of appeals.
    Constitution is clear. Congress alone has power to levy tariffs except in emergency. Court ruled 20 minutes ago no emergency.
