A bachelor tax existed in Argentine around 1900. Men who could prove they had asked a woman to marry them and had been refused were exempt from the tax.

This gave rise to the phenomenon of professional lady rejectors, women who for a fee would swear to the authorities that a man had proposed to them and they had refused.

Boom.
Ruskies are begging Dear Fuhrer to end war vs Ukraine.
A public petition has been signed by over 25 000 ppl demanding for an immediate withdrawal of troops.

I wonder if this is in any way connected with Putin's decision to cancel his annual Live Address, hmm

I'm immunocompromised - my doctors insist I remain quarantined bc my infusion meds have depleted my t-cells. I do curbside pickup and drive thru prescription stuff, but when I do have to run into a store, I'm among 2 or 3 masked people, and the unmasked people look at me like they've never seen a mask before.

It's hard on everyone who is trying to be safe, but I'm getting tired of not living a full life bc people are so damn selfish.

Sorry. It's just frustrating af.

@Rickbflony When someone has heavily armed insurrectionists as his followers, and a major social media platform that will allow them free reign to promote his bleatings, then yes. He's a clear and present danger to the rule of law in this country.

Note: the picture is very impactful and yes emotional. Some may not like seeing but imo it shows our humanity and holds what we should value each and every day. Bless each and every family moving forward who may have lost a loved one from a shooting like this.

@LiberalEffects Darwin Awards for everyone!

@LiberalEffects I know people who thought working in Silicon Valley was akin to sitting on god’s right shoulder. Wonder how they’re feeling now…

@LnzyHou @LiberalEffects the billionaires are taking the soul right out of the country and screw anyone who gets in their way,

@LiberalEffects

It’s a race between billionaires for who is the biggest POS. #musk is still ahead.
