My maternal grandfather was born in southeastern Pennsylvania in 1903 and told me when I was a boy that in the 1920s, times were so good that saloon owners would offer a free lunch, consisting of bread and butter, cheese, cold cuts, pickles and the like. “Sure, they were hoping you’d buy a glass of beer for a nickel, but they really didn’t mind if you didn’t and simply scarfed down a free sandwich.”
He went on to tell me that nowadays, there’s a popular slogan: There’s no such thing as a free lunch, “but believe me, there was at the time.”
From today’s perspective of greed and selfishness, this whole story sounds like a fairy tale. Corporations and the congresspeople they own want one thing: to suck the life out of us.
Here’s proof (as if any were needed) that Trump understands that he’s despised and knows that his claims that he’s “respected around the world” are total bullshit.
What Seneca said here is as true today as it was 2000 years ago.
When I was a boy, I predicted that the advancements of science would eventually put an end to religion, but it appears I was wrong.
Dwindling educational standards and pounding levels of propaganda have brought us to the point that 42% of Americans reject the scientific finding that human activity is causing climate change. These are probably the same idiots who believe that that vaccinations are dangerous.
Are you seriously blaming this military catastrophe on Hegseth, rather that the criminal sociopath who appointed him?
