I guess that cat is out of the bag. We all knew Project 2025 was Trump's bible. Can't wait for the implementation. Oh it is going to be glorious. We will have the Presidency, the Senate, the House and the bought and paid for Supreme Court. There's nothing you can do to stop us. Insert evil laugh.

Butter is $7 and eggs are $4.50 and they think the every man/woman cares about project 25

I work for a dental supply manufacturer. If everyone else is going to act like a self serving cunt, I say get fluoride out of the water so business booms for us. Then I'll retire to Portugal.

I'm Shawshank Red at this point. Just don't give a shit.
Curious since you work in this business and I genuinely have no idea - do you have statistically more business per capita in New Jersey than the other states?

We don't have free labor in the form of German scientists anymore
Good one.

Anyhow, I really am at a loss with all this colonize the moon and mars bullshit.

The best I can come up with is that a bunch of dudes who were socially awkward nerds for the better part of their lives and watched too much sci-fi now have so much money they don’t know what else to do with it and have convinced themselves of it being a great idea.

Because they know we’re destroying/going to destroy Earth?

Honestly it kinda seems like that might be the case.

Rich, tech bros have been buying up huge swaths of land in Hawaii as well and are constructing personal “dooms day resorts” and what not. It’s pretty wild.

I can envision a scenario where Larry Ellison is at his private compound on Lanai, sitting in a cryo chamber, sipping a spirulina pina colada, laughing as he watches Maro Lago and Trump slip beneath the sea.

If prices are your chief concern, shop at stores with better prices. Also your numbers aren't close to what he said, and even then are too high.

I do like to find a good deal! But, some people don't have the means or access to shop around for basic services and goods. Even obtaining a government ID can remain out of reach when given 4 years to acquire. How could that person possibly travel around weekly to afford necessities?

In all seriousness, its safe to say prices have gone up at a uncomfortable level for many.

You are comparing 8oz of generic butter at Wal-Mart to 16oz branded and acting like you are an economic genius. $4.82 vs $6.19 for butter and $2.97 vs $3.99 for eggs are the delta I would expect for hitting Wal-Mart generics versus branded goods at an average grocery - well worth it to avoid walking six city blocks and dodging a thousand hover-rounds. Also essentials like eggs and butter are frequently loss leaders at a grocery store - they keep them in the back so you have to walk through the whole store to get them increasing the odds you pick up some twinkies and doritos along the way.

How the hell do butter and eggs get 2 and a half stars? Are they picking feathers out of the eggs they crack? Go to Aldi or Lidl and save more for better food.

Now they are pressuring Sotamoyer to retire so Biden can replace her 😆.

'Gee, thanks a lot guys.'

I've seen some stuff alluding to this. Some have even proposed that if Sotamayor retired quickly, that Biden could nominate Harris. Given the tension between Biden and Harris, is that even a remote possibility?

Would replacing her between now and January even be possible? Republicans would make it all but impossible to get a replacement confirmed this late in the cycle. As for Harris on the SCOTUS, that's gotta be a joke. She's not remotely qualified in any way. I think most Dems would be happy for her to fade away into the shadows.

Yes, they can. You do remember how Amy Coney Barrett was nominated and confirmed with a month? Or is your position that this is different because it’s after the election? And I don’t think Harris is qualified either.

Honest question: why does it take so long to count votes when other states have no problem?

You need to shop at a different store.
When I lived in NYC the prices were wild. I've don't recall specifics but it was nuts.

Here it's a heavy load but not like that. Maybe the goofy artisanal brands?

I think her issue was very few people had any reason to think she'd try to make things better.

Every state has different laws and rules. That's a state legislature issue. I don't know that anyone is super opposed to doing things fast.
