He's so detached from reality that he thinks he can do it all by himself.

My name is is 8 letters long. 15 if you want to count my moddle name and spaces. Unfortunately i have a very uncommon first name, and an even less common last name that makes me 100% the only person on earth with my name.

Stocks were doing well, but most people's quality of life was objectively decreasing while stocks went up. What about that makes it a "good" economy for the majority of people?

The point is that America has managed to make a lot of guys richer than God by allowing them to exploit millions of people

So you didn't say what metric indicated the economy was doing so well. Do you think the raising costs of housing, the raising cost of food and groceries, skyrocketing car prices, lackluster jobs reports, declining number of people able to afford a $1000 emergency, or the roll back of covid hazard pay were the best indicators of the strength of the economy the last 4 years? Because the economy has been abysmal for all but the wealthy. Pretending otherwise is exactly what got the Democrats obliterated in the general election last year.

Wy do you feel the economy was doing well when pretty much every metric shows that everyone not making six figures has seen their quality of life drop for the last 4 year?

That's what leftists have been trying to explain to liberals for the past 8 years. All the Democrats in Ohio were running on platforms of securing the border and keeping trans kids out of schools while being dead silent on Republican corruption in the state, Republican attempts to undermine cannabis and abortion referendums that the overwhelming majority of us voted for 2 years ago. Why would anyone vote for them if the best they can offer is watered down Republican plans?

Also, we pay more tax money per patient than any other country in the world on top of our monthly premiums, deductibles, and co-pays.

Yeah, Chuck Schumer basically gave the Republicans everything they wanted earlier this year on the first CR. He'll be willing to cave again once he gets fed up with all the calls from his corporate donors

Wait until you hear about the ruling party in the Netherlands

People have been making web crawlers for the past 30 years. Why do you need to torch an acre of forest to do the same?

 

My grandpa was from the last generation of Geordie sailors. He was an engineer for the merchant navy, hence the great uniform. Gran stayed home and cared for my mom and her siblings while grandpa was out sailing. He once showed me a map of all the voyages he had been on, and i wish i knew what happened to it.

 

This car is an absolute shitbox with a million electrical issues. Just got a new starter 2 weeks ago, and the alternator was replaced 18 months ago, so i knew the battery was the likely culprit.

Anyway, gonna make my ancestors proud and go throw the old battery into Lake Erie

 
 

Here is the inside before i spread the ganache over it

The recipe i used is available here. My favorite single mom in town asked me to make her a ho-ho cake for her birthday party tonight,and here is my final result! Where possible i have used vegan ingredients, although it does contain butter, buttermilk, and eggs. I live in a small rural town and finding vegan substitutes on a budget is very difficult. I made a test run for my friends this weekend and it fell apart in transit, but this time it survived the trip! The cream filling really needs a few hours in the fridge to stiffen up and not let the cake slide off.

 

I am axtive in communities that requite uploading images, but i haven't been able to properly upload any images using Sync in months. The communities are across multiple instances, so I believe it is a Sync issue.

 

Started my first union job right before Thanksgiving and elections are this week. Results will be in this weekend since contract negotiations start on Tuesday. Everyone is gearing up for a big fight and i am nervous, but excited.

Anyway, they had a trailer set up in the parking lot and the steward flagged me down to get over there and vote.
