Asked my 11 y.o. Granddaughter this via text. Notice how fast the response is. And yet - “adult” federal workers are bitching and complaining….

Amazing watching today’s left go crazy when someone wants to audit all the grift in the government. Same assholes that want to know about every

F-ing $601.00 Venmo transaction.

I’d thank them for all they have done so far. Knowing full well I may be disappointed in the future. But I’ll take the wins for now.

My wife and I own and operate a small pizza chain in SW Michigan and have for about 38 years. We are probably 90% take out. It took me years to allow a tip jar - and then I did about 15 or so years ago. Nobody really tipped at a take out place before that.

But the employees only make so much. And it’s not like we can just give $2.00 raise to everyone and hope to stay in business.

Christ the food cost alone has forced me to raise prices quite a bit over the last 2 years. Thankfully I’m not a burger place where it cost $80.00 for a family of four to get merely burgers, fries and a pop. You can still get a 16” pizza and a 2 liter for four people for 25-30 bucks.

(I’ve had successes and failures - thankfully a few more successful pizzerias than bad ones)

I’ve also owned a bar/restaurant and know how difficult they are to keep open, staffed and profitable.

I’m good with tipping. In fact I am a very good tipper.

And I’m glad our customers like our product and our people enough to tip. It’s good for our employees and mskes them feel good as well.

Just my 2 pennies.

I wish you well.

One thing I learned a long time ago from an older guy when I was young.

He said, “Americans don’t rent enough.” Whether for work or play.

So true - if u aren’t going to use it a lot, rent.

Or borrow.

Save your money.

Also he desired a Cadillac. (He bought one 10 years later, when he had plenty of reserves) but he just rented one for a weekend once a year - for years - to get it out of his system.

I’m very happy to see it. First time in my life I’ve watched republicans and libertarians take the offense.

Ha!

There is much good bitcoiners can yet do on X. And One can quite easily do both.

Watched “2000 Mules” and also “What is a Woman” today. Highly recommend both.

Great way to spend a rainy day in Michigan. Ty sir. Well done.

I watched the Dems destroy their party and send more and more center left people to the center. Good.

😂😂😂

Christ, It seems like these democrats in these hearings are just pushing more and more of their constituents to the middle.

Good.

Was Bernie doing a Nazi salute?? :)

Exactly
