But they get to have their city/state name and a bunch of minimum wage jobs, and extra flight traffic for people and athletes that have no care about the area to come in and spend a few more bucks at chain hotels and restaurants that have their HQ in another state/city

6 mins? Maybe with a squatty potty and if I'm lucky. Otherwise it's almost always 15-25min for me, not sure why, it just takes time.

It’s fear of the US not controlling everything, if we don’t have the leading spot it must be evil or someone must have cheated, everyone knows it’s impossible for the US not to be #1. /sarcasm

Doesn’t matter as long as the Epstein files fell out of the news, it’s considered a success despite $40 billion spent

The strategy was to get Epstein off of everyone’s mind. And if it cost over $40billion and counting then it was deemed worth it, because the president comes first, that how’s our president thinks, me first, and our politicians, party first, our lobby second and the oligarchs third.

The ones that can change it won’t because they benefit from the system being how it is. Being a politician is a gateway to money and power.

The fundamental flaw of the constitution is that it had no ethics built in, it’s up to the voters to pick better, our press to report truthfully without bias and those have failed as well.

If the FTC had enough time, people and competence, they could get rid off all the apartment junk fees like: valet trash, forcing you to have a cable subscription plan, package locker fee, etc
