    Or maybe I have more things in the cart for the same amount of money. Nice trying to discredit my shopping experience though.

    Texas subsidizes most states. We have the 10th largest economy in the world last time I checked.

    so you had .99 cents and were waiting for someone to give you a penny so you could buy a paper, but whilst waiting you found a penny.

    i remember when you could buy papers from a machine, but i dont remember them taking pennies. that must have been one heck of a newspaper machine.

    so you were unemployed, but after finding that penny you got a job and you have been working ever since. what job did you find in the newspaper?

    your story about the penny has now changed not once, but twice!

    first you were looking for a penny at an apartment complex

    then you said you found the penny by a newspaper machine

    now you say...

    which store at william cannon and I-35 did you buy your newspaper at?

    It was on the corner of I -35 and William Cannon in 1986. I don't know if it's still there or not.

    No I haven't changed my story I had 99 cents and needed a penny, I found a penny but couldn't use the newspaper stand because it didn't take pennies. So I had to walk to the nearest store to buy a newspaper. Jeez, this isn't that difficult to figure out what I did. SMH, I'm done here. Something as simple as this and here we go round and round..

    which corner? NE/SE/SW/NW? i live off william cannon and am in that intersection multiple times a week. we might be neighbors!

    and was this the apartment complex where you initially said you found the penny or the store where you bought the paper?

    No I don't have the same job, It was an entry level job and the place where I really got my start. Although I had done landscaping and worked on a farm before moving to Austin.

    I currently live in the Liveable Forest and started up my own business back in 1994.

    If you are on I-35 going towards Kyle and exit William Cannon and the convenience store was, is on the corner on the right. The apartment complex was the 1st apartment complex on the left. I don't know if either one of these are still there.

    The richest man in the world, who has donated north of 300 million in the last year to MAGAT causes, calling out Soros is hilarious and further proof that the right are all sheep.

    I am a single guy who shops at HEB so I don't buy a ton of stuff, doesn't help I can cook like 5 things. This past weekend prices got my attention, now IMO any President is NOT moving the needle much for eggs or even gas. What is happening now, is simply self-inflicted, a President can have a direct effect on anything that has a tariff, that is self-imposed. And this is why I think we will hit a recession very quickly especially if the largest tax hike in history (or as trump calls them "tariffs") go into effect today. I don't want this and I don't think anyone wants this. I am happy to go along with trumps buffoonery as long as doesn't F*** up the economy..............now that's out the window. My 401K cant take much more of trump and I am sure I am not the only one in this boat. People can shout form the hills that we need to bring MFG home, but the reality is that wont happen anytime soon IF it happens. The part he didn't tell everyone was that the short-term pain isn't going to be a few weeks or a few months it will be years and even decades and folks who can't afford basic necessities will vote with that in mind, they don't give a F if in 15 years little johnny may have a good job at FORD, he may not live that long.

    and it will be years we lose stopping all the work our tireless scientists do...........that wont be "felt" for years

    to many Americans got project 2025 when they really wanted cheaper prices. Wisconsin got it right last night with the SC vote................think what the sentiment will be in 2 years and 4 years.

    I want trump to do well, but he is failing, and he has no one to blame but himself, he wanted yes men who would bend the knee and that's what we have

    Soros was doing this long before Musk started doing this. That's a fact.

    It's going to be a long 4 years for libs like yourself. Trump is doing exactly what he promised on the campaign trail and was elected to do. You can call people who voted for Trump anything you want, or act in anyway you want, but this time around Trump's going to do what he set out to do last time. The Deep State/Globalists should be very worried. He basically shot the bird at the globalists today. About time.

    What accusations has Trump's side made?

    That there's a Globalist/elitist/Deep State agenda on the left and some RINO's? Yes, you're correct.

    Paying people to register to vote isn't paying people to vote.

    Paying protesters/BLM etc.. is another matter. Paying for DA's to get elected and bail for criminal protesters is yet another matter.

    Now shoes on the other foot and the libs like yourself dont seem very happy. LMAO. Deal with it.

    Sometimes I wonder if life would be easier in a completely made-up world.
