Just a few months ago I was getting Kerry Gold on sale for $10.99 Your grammar lesson for today.

They said during the press conference that it was going to be ultra-high speed charging. Whether that matches them to Hyundai/Kia or beyond, I don't know.... but LFP batteries are those batteries in China that can do 1000kw charging.

All I want is an Airbus or an Embraer wheels up headed for somewhere calm and sane. I am studying Spanish. Explains how I am feeling.

Its simple capitalism. More precisely to say though...its GREED. And because this is happening in the US in 2025, and to be fair it is reciprocated here in Canada, and this phenomenon has been in effect since the 1980s, its CORPORATE GREED since both of our countries have made ourselves servants and lackeys to these corporations. We abide by everything they tell us through their shytty adverts. We have stopped patronizing mom and pop shops etc... And when Trump was tooting tariffs as his election campaign, the democrats warned of such dangers about corporate greed...about how tariffs work (the citizen pays the tariff and not the country as its a fancy word for tax and how corporations will augment the un-tariffed product to be closer in sales price as the tariffed product... But, Harris and her party were all doom sayers. And she has a weird laugh on top of that. And the talk went on to be about how they are eating the dogs and they are eating the cats... Basic education is terrible in the US. And its by design as a certain political party in the US (and Canada to be fair but the tactic is less successful as Canadians are more community oriented) defunds education every time they go into power. Its also by design that in today's world, the two most northern countries in North America choose to glorify ignorance and vilify knowledge and education. To a lesser extent up here in Canada for whatever reason. Canadians in general continue to value enlightenment. Critical thinking skills be shrinking in the US of A. Liittle catchy slogans is what grabs attention though. They are eating the dogs and eating the cats. We did have something similar in Canada though. Trudeau has nice hair was our cat/dog moment 10 or so years ago. But Trudeau won. And if it wasnt for Doge, Musk, tariffs, Epstein, 51st state rethoric, 36 counts of felonies, we too, be having our Maple Maga movement. But...education is a priority up here in Canada still...

Yep. We're already not in a great place because of the tariffs, but companies are absolutely taking advantage of that and charging so much more than the tariff itself and then claiming it's raised because of tariffs. It's as if they don't think people understand how to do math. Then again, in all fairness, most people don't know how to do simple math. So, there is that.

Maple Maga has very quickly quieted down. Oh...there is an extreme right movement here too. The diehards are just as die hard as your morons. But not as abundant. Our morons are slightly more educated than yours so the ones that actually do think, saw and thought about what is what and learned the consequences of being willfully ignorant and stupid through the actions of Trump, through the inactions of decent Americans, and learned very quickly that the extreme right movement is just not good. Like I said though, the maple maga movement does exist. And they are just as a lost cause as your maga movement. Problem is though that your maga movement is holding the world hostage. It be OK if it were only their own demise, but they are bringing the whole planet down. At least in the short term. In the long term, the US will be all alone when all of this is over. Whenever that will be. Even its life long partner in Canada has mostly said to move on from the US. Not a good thing for America.

One of my best friends passed away, he was only 58. Flying to San Francisco the weekend of the 23rd for a celebration of life.
