Was just going through the bag of Christmas gifts I'd received that I really have no use for. In it was a really nice looking 20ct humidor. I really can't think of a use for it. It's very nice looking. Just don't know what to do with it. I really appreciated the thought that went into the purchase. I think I need to politely let the family know that the only things I need/want for Christmas, birthday, father's day is whiskey and cigars. Consumables, not stuff. Anybody else get a gift like this, something you appreciate but can't really use?

Can you use it for dry boxing or accessories storage?

40 f. And foggy

My car is going to make some funny noises when I start it in a little bit.

I often wonder how a person who makes $10,000 more than me in annual salary in the same federal government for which I work can walk away from that job after 2, 4, 6 or 8 years and walk out a millionaire or a hundred millionaire. I've been doing my job for 30 years and I ain't no fukking millionaire, dog

I also once wondered who owns these giant Fortune 500 companies, and as it turns out, the answer to that question is all of the other Fortune 500 companies. More than 80% of all of the stock of all of these publicly traded companies are owned by the other publicly traded Fortune 500 companies. Roughly 10% of them are owned by the oligarchs. The remainder is what's publicly traded on the stock exchange.

Tell me who's in charge.

Lol Todd you're a hoot! You justify one thing with another, and ironically you do so under a false premise yourself while taking the time to respond while intentionally avoiding a simple request.

Despite this, you have answered the question completely. The answer to the question is that it wouldn't be okay if it were reversed, but it's justified based on other dissimilar things that have happened in the other direction.

Copy.

And the real governors of this society, the ones actually pulling the strings, are the oligarchs who exercise undue influence on the entire process. The Kochs, sorroses, musks, bezoses, and buffets of the world, legalized through citizens united and codified through their weopanizing of the utility, real estate, investment, and mass media organizations that they own, are the ones who really control The government. They do it through influence. They influence the politicians to set the policy and the influence the quote-unquote Shadow government, the people who actually execute the offices of the government, to do the things they say. Then they pit the Jimmy's in the Joe's, the common people, against each other to solidify that power .

They do so in such an effective manner that a guy in a t-shirt and a ball cap can stand in front of the president inside the oval office and talk about the things he's going to do to drain a swamp that he himself helped to fill, and all to a rousing cheer.

Thanks for playing buddy! Love you!
