A gram. And I just noticed that 2nd pic says 2018. WTF?! They were 230g when I bought them in 2018. I know that for a fact because I regularly bought them to take to the cinema.
This is America, we go to the "movies" and we eat a "pound" of candy while there.

How left wing people ever get anything done seems to be beyond human understanding. Considering they turn on eachother so wearily often.
They hate one another, and need a common enemy to hate or they turn on themselves. No cohesion, no teamwork, no loyalty, no values besides the dollar and power over others.

Pretty fucking lonely and hostile when everyone wants to be at the top.

It's why any Leftist under the age of 50 is, as a rule, a uniquely awful person to be around.
 
After Buffet liquidated his Apple position, he's now going again. Looks like the Billionaires are slowly and quietly pulling out. 🤔🤔
Did someone tell them something?

Its not what he was told its what he can predict. Anyone who handles stocks and is worth their salt knows that the current market is volatile as fuck. Some of the first things to go when the market goes tits up are luxury items. A new phone to get the latest apple product being one of those products. So, he pulled money out of a stock he expects to do poorly in the coming years and likely has put it into more stable stocks so that his portfolio can minimize damage.

By the way, while I am not qualified to give proper economic advice, I would say agriculture stocks are a very steady stock to be in. Everyone -needs- to eat, and short of a famine or massive death toll they are stocks which will never perform amazingly but will always be steadily rising. I have a ton put into various agriculture stocks and can fairly easily live off of just what I get from those. Oh also, if you do I would personally put money into multiple agriculture stocks, not just one. That way if one gets blight/damage/etc. it won't severely effect your entire portfolio.

If Walz is a CCP asset it makes sense the whole thing was rigged for him with a little sop thrown in for Israel with the "oh sure we almost picked a Jew too bad so sad." Now we know which foreign power owns the DNC most.
It would make sense, but keep in mind Harris picked the man to -spite- everyone saying she should pick based on politics. She picked him purely because she likes him personally and she likes his communist policies. Nothing else, no other considerations, full stop.

It's bad optics because they really want to fucking kill him, and this prevents that.

...Alright, I'll answer more seriously. It can be taken as him being weak and not very courageous, that's all. But what I said above still applies.

Cope and sneed, glowies.
Its also not bad optics. It means that every single media outlet hostile too him now has to never, ever use pictures that show his rallies. Anything that shows the barriers will be a stark reminder that he was shot at, that there was an attempt on his life. Keeping that fresh in people's minds helps a -lot-.

I’m so glad the honeymoon is ending. More people need to realize that she still has all the baggage of the Biden admin, and has done nothing as vice president to actually reassure people that she’ll be different from Biden. I hope Trump makes her explain her actual platforms during the debate, because I guarantee she can’t give more than surface level detail, at best.

I think this take is interesting, definitely plays up the mind games. It does give hima ammunition to point out they won't even broadcast the rallies anymore because they hate him that much. He's been doing that already, clowning on CNN for just shutting off cameras when he talks about shit they don't want to record. It's been funny to watch.

There's blood in the water this month. And I'm VERY excited.

Agriculture, and Energy Generation - Specifically production of power not just the wider energy market (Oil etc) as they're the ones actually billing for energy at the end of the day. Sources may vary, input costs for those sources may vary, but they're almost unilaterally able to set their prices as energy demand can only shift so much, and the end margin of that demand determines the pricing for all of it. Short of complete collapse of industrial civilization, they're gonna be operating. I'd avoid companies manufacturing energy generation equipment though, with all the green shit. Stick to the utilities.

I've heard people speak of Pharma the same way in the past since medical treatment is traditionally about as optional as energy or food, but I'm not so sure with the absolute bonkers inflation of speculative biotech shit in the pharma space these days. Feels like they have a LOT more room to drop than usual.

you should read some kind of news. Warner just wrote down all of CNN last week or so.
They wrote down the valuation of a huge section of their media, CNN included, but they didn't itemize what, or where, or how much, just that whole portfolio space as a whole. Big obfuscation game, probably because they want to sell the assets and this lets them be a bit cagey and aggressive about opening bids on shit, set higher expectations.

We say going to the movies too in the UK. Sometimes old people also say they're going to the flicks.

And just to show I'm not lying/crazy about the MAOAM Pinballs' size changes here is Amazon USA selling 180g packets with the old UK price of £1 on them!
https://www.amazon.com/Haribo-Maoam-Pinballs-180g-Pack/dp/B00XN5GHLA

The price now is £1.25. (For 140g.)

And the parties definitely did flip.
Isn't "the party switch", as it's nearly always used in discussion, just a dishonest means of both dismissing the wrongdoings of the Democrats, and shifting the blame onto Republicans? Because while people and political parties shift in values over time, the "switch" is nearly always used to imply that the racist values of Democrats in the past are currently the values of modern Republicans, when in reality the change in voting patterns reflects larger shifts in the positions of both parties, not just some stupid swap.
 
She sounds and looks fucking insane in that clip.
She REALLY gives off drunken crazy vibes. She's absolutely drunk and on shit all the time and so is Walz.

ETA: BTW, you can track how she's doing, same as the did with Biden, when they stop talking about her on DU and Dailykos and attack Trump. They did it with Biden too towards the end. They're doing it now, she's in a freefall.

Democrats have always been the party of slavery. They just got worse at hiding it as the years went on. Not just of black people, but of man in general. The moment they read the book of Marx, it was fucking over.
 
I think it might have something to do with what a reporter said today on CNBC. She basically said behind the scenes Kamala has been telling donors and party leaders she is going to run a moderate campaign but then she goes out and runs towards insane leftist policies. This has upset people behind the scenes because she told them one thing and doing something completely different.

They feel she can just win on a "vibes" platform like Obama and not have to say anything about policy at all but now they think she will scare people off and do significant damage to her campaign. This also goes back to Obama not believing she can win, and an Obama adviser said Obama feels like there are too many landmines out in front of her. That as time goes on she is going to start stepping on these landmines and damage her campaign. I think the last 48-72 hours she had stepped on quite a few landmines, and she now has the convention with possible violence from Palestinians, and a couple of debates with Trump.
The thing is Obama also ran on delivering healthcare reform as a major policy goal. Harris has nothing that compares.

On top of that, he scored big points by running against the Iraq War and eventually Republicans took a hit for being in office for things like Katrina and the start of the 2008 collapse.

Obama’s campaign slogan was not “Hope.” It was “Hope and CHANGE.” You can’t steal those vibes as an incumbent administration! She needs her own campaign and her own version of Obamacare and her own Iraq War and Katrina and none of that exists. She is running on “Forward (with the same old)” not “Forward to change.”

Healthcare reform had been brewing for over a decade as a long term Democratic goal. Now what do they have as a major party project? Finally getting tampons in the boys room? The Green New Deal energy has sapped away in the face of impossible costs and the obviously stalled (at best) electric car revolution. Harris was never the face of it and shows no particular inclination to try now.

They better hope “Orange man bad” is enough to get them across the finish line because they have nothing else.

I am like 95% certain that "first time homeowners" is code for illegal migrants and no one that has European heritage will ever see one of those 25k credits.
It's true and it's already de facto the case. Look at the fine print on the website of any "first time home owners program" or even Habitat for Humanity in your area. They all have diversity quotas now and they are wildly out of wack to the local proportions. Like a city with 10% Hispanic and 5% black will have a goal in their home program to sell to at least 40% "BIPOC" each year. This is all legal because of loopholes atoning for the fact that someone didn't want to sell a blacks a house in the Jewish neighborhood in Detroit in 1952.

They all allow for "ITIN sales" too ie you are an illegal and don't have a SSN.
Kamala is starting to remind me of some BPD skinwalkers I know. Terrified of abandonment to the point of breakdowns and being a control freak, imitating someone they think people like more than them, shameless gaslighters, endlessly insecure. It's genuinely disturbing and would explain why so much of her staff quit. BPD meltdowns are like no other.
A surprising number of tyrants in history were basically histrionic freaks like this in private. It's a very ominous sign.
If Walz is a CCP asset it makes sense the whole thing was rigged for him with a little sop thrown in for Israel with the "oh sure we almost picked a Jew too bad so sad." Now we know which foreign power owns the DNC most.
Remember Feinstein's driver, Swalwell's girlfriend, on and on...
For fun and enrichment, every time you see a lib posting shit like this, ask in the most sincere tone you can muster, "is there something wrong with being gay? What are you implying? Would it be bad for them to have gay sex with each other for some reason? What possible reason could that be?"

Guaranteed the results will be hilarious.
A couple years before the pandemic I was on a diet where I would have a single can of tuna a day with lemon salt, with a cheat day once every two weeks that I tried to make keto. I think that would be like $50 a month excluding the two chear days where I had a big steak or something, and I lost 120lbs over the course of six months. It does work for short term, but then you need to accept that you have to stop before you're at your goal and begin regulating again otherwise you've vulnerable to interruptions to your habits
A single can of tuna is like 135 kcal. You're eating just that in a day, and boasting about it as a plan. WTF the ana and mia shit is escaping the BPD containment forum Beauty Parlour.
