  2. I for one can't wait for all those stories next summer deploring the high price of tomatoes and guacamole in grocery stores.
  3. I'm sure FDR saw the effects of an unfettered (or practically unfettered) Capitalism under the Harding administration. And Andrew Mellon's long reign as Secretary of the Treasury
  4. I remember them. Like I've said, if you're ever in the area check out Two Drummers, they're about 15 miles away from the touristy area. Founded by brothers who were members of the CW Fife and Drum Corp (evidently a big honor here for high school kids). They also have a great butcher shop closer to town. And are active in many of the National BBQ competitions as a supplier. The local favorite is Pierces, which has been around since the 70s, it's good, not great. Legend has it that when I64 opened truckers passing thru, the drivers would pull their rigs off the road and hop the fence. The restaurant is located on what used to be the Rt 60 Bypass. In Eastern NC, especially around Raleigh, we often make an effort to visit Smithfield's BBQ and Chicken. Once again good BBQ
  5. They don't have any franchises in MA or NH or anywhere near there. You're really not missing much. Founded by a couple of restaurant executives, one was an Outback executive. The other had sons in the military. They are based in Maryland, just outside and promotes a patriotic atmosphere. TBH the food is nothing to go out of your way for (I can think of at least three better BBQ places here and a NC based chain I prefer to their BBQ. They do give "free" sandwiches to vets one day a week. I have nothing against "being patriotic" I've played in community bands long enough to respect those who served and enjoy watching them stand when we play the "Armed Forces Salute". I do object to those who try to monetize "patriotism" . I've yet to find any Veteran causes that MBQ donates any significant sums of money or donates their products (free catering and such or deep discounts) to any local veterans groups. BTW I also despise the Lee Greenwood song. I feel it's been overplayed and just like the Pledge of Allegiance and Lord's Prayer too many people just go thru the motions leaving them without any real meaning. But to Trumpaholic, Thank you for your service.
  6. I disagree with the narrative that Harris was a horrible candidate. Just take a look at the popular vote totals and percentages and you will see she ran ahead of several of the candidates in the last several cycles. Yes, she lost the popular vote, but it was not anything close to a Trump landslide, except maybe in the undemocratic Electorial College, which is heavily weighed in favor of smaller states and mostly rural areas. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/donald-trump-vote-margin-narrowed/
  7. Tesla has unveiled its RoboTaxi https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-am-b66bb2d0-a91a-11ef-8814-b9598ecea6da.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&stream=top Notice the DeLorian wings
  8. I'm still there, occasionally, for now.
  9. I wouldn't put it past him. They tell me wet and dirty Depends can be annoying.
  10. No attacks, I've eaten there. Pedestrian food from a chain. I prefer good southern pit cooked BBQ from locally owned companies. How much $$$ from their sales actually goes to veteran causes. Their website doesn't mention it. Sorry, I'm not a flag waver. Sue me
  11. MBBQ does give out "free" sandwiches to veterans once a week. From their website Living where I do, there are many much better and less expensive BBQ joints that are extremely active in the community and are locally owned, not franchised. I support their mission
  12. If one actually bothered to do a search, one would find that based on several studies (including crime reports) trangender individuals are more likely to be assaulted in restrooms than "natural women". This includes harassment, intimidation and assult.
  13. I get that. My wife had knee replacement surgery the day after the election (we joked, that at least she'd be unconscious for a while after the election). She's been getting around with a walker. It was a major venture today when we hit the grocery store and ventured into a real restaurant for lunch following her PT. I can't imagine doing any type of distance traveling with a scooter, especially in a city like Boston. Hope things heal quickly.
  14. By your logic, I take it you're not ok with gay men using the men's room...
  15. https://bsky.app/profile/mollyjongfast.bsky.social/post/3lbkmldvjic2c Trump announced that his second term would usher in an era of opulence and glamour. The stock market had “gone through the roof” since the election. Then he told the crowd at Mar-a-Lago about the people he had seen around the country. “They just wanted hope,” he said. “They wanted something; they just didn’t want what they had. . . . When I went around, I heard something that was very interesting: the word ‘grocery.’ It’s sort of such a strange and simple, nice word, you know, ‘I’m going out for groceries today.’ . . . I tell a story about a woman, she got three apples, an old woman, she had three apples and she brought them up to the cash register and she looked at the woman and she said, ‘Is that the right price?’ and the woman said ‘Yes, Ma’am, I’m sorry, yes it is.’ And she said, ‘Oh that’s O.K., could you wait one minute?’ and she took one of the three apples and she brought it back to the refrigeration and she came back gently up to the cash register, and she paid for two apples instead of three.” Those days of scarcity were over, Trump said. When Mar-a-Lago was built, in 1927, for the socialite cereal heiress Marjorie Post, “it was a Roaring Twenties. We’re hotter now than they ever were in the Roaring Twenties, I believe. We’re going to be a lot hotter.” Two things here. 1)The apples at the local Food Lion are never refrigerated. 2) Trump mentioned the State of the Union in the “Roaring 20s” anybody know what happened right after that. DJT conveniently didn’t mention that in his routine
  16. Just wondering whether your physician has recommendations that won’t break the bank.
  17. You need to troll better. Very weak responses. Come on man step it up, be creative. You write like a White Sox fan
  18. Sounds like the old DECA programs back when dinosaurs roamed in the late ‘60s. When you could make a good living in retail. BTW, my wife loves my soft hands. That’s all that matters to me.
  19. Out of likes, exactly. Not everyone or every career needs a degree. Wasn’t that at one time a conservative thought?
  20. While you Trumpers are working overtime to destroy it
