How narcissist of him. Absolutely no consideration of the damage done to others or what they might be feeling. Only trump’s immediate whims are what matter to him to satisfy his ego.
I’ve lost count of the number of people I know tangentially who complain about not having any money yet talk about constantly ordering DoorDash for some cookies or other frivolous crap.
America was already broken, that’s why trump got elected. Everything from education to financial security is an ongoing disaster. Then trump & co. destroyed the rest.
The ridiculous number of EV available to the consumer outside of the US is crazy. EBRO, BYD, JAECOO, CYE, XPENG, among others as well as homegrown startups receiving government incentives to produce everything from cars to e-motorbikes and scooters.
The US is so far behind it’s laughable, the regressive cave men we have for politicians along with protectionist greed of the auto manufacturer and petroleum lobbies are wildly damaging.
Slots (or gambling) are ok as long as the user understands that you’re gonna lose, you go with a set amount of money, and once the money is gone you’re done.
Then you’re ok, you’re paying for the “entertainment” of the game and the chance of the win, again, if once the money is gone you’re done.
No fretting over the loss. It’s a reasoned choice, and doesn’t hurt anyone.
But like alcohol or other drugs it can turn bad for some people.
If you very much dislike the idea of dumping money into that form of entertainment and would rather spend it on shows, nice food, and experiences like that, great! That’s what works for you, and for most of us is far more satisfying choice.
If you’re not wired that way you simply aren’t going to “get it”, same as not really understanding any other addiction - at least in any way other than intellectually.
They’ve been watching decades of Faux News and other conservative programming, along with people like Charlie Kirk, that steamroll their opponents with bullshit, loaded questions, and Gish Gallop so heavily that there’s no possible way to disprove them in the time given - and that’s if they don’t just shout them down or outright ignore their rebuttal.
So these wannabe “kirks” just try to mash the easy button without realizing how controlled the environments are in which the conservative pundits operate to prevent actual opposition.
You’re right, lol. I completely forgot. “Smoking or non?” was a completely normal question when entering a restaurant, and bars or whatever didn’t bother asking. A night out meant smelling like cigarette smoke when you got home.
