They are also made in India and Taiwan, but no sure if that will help.

@CinnamonGirlE

I deactivated twitter again.

@S_r_stone

You're assuming they too won't get what they deserve. I wouldn't make that bet.

@MLClark

Possible future expats?

I'm a big believer that so long as honest elections happen, the majority of voters get the government they deserve.

This time around, I was not in that majority, so I can honestly say I do not deserve what is coming.

@JanetZumba_FalPals

Blah, blah, blah.

People blamed 2023 inflation on Democrats because they held the White House.

You can't fix "Don't know how things work".

I have no doubt inflation was on many voters' minds, but you aren't going to reason somebody out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

That sucks, and Republincs preyed on their ignorance. It is what it is.

@GinaE1973

Goes back to less than a third of the electorate knowing how things work.

Most common complaint about Democrats--and MAGA disinformation hammered this point--the inflation of 2023.

Explaining how supply shocks work, the effect of droughts and bird flu did not penetrate.

Going all the way back to USENET, there were Flat Earters, Young Earth Creationists, and all kinds of disgusting deviancy, and don't get me started on the piracy and other illegal activities on IRC.

It amazes me that the Futurists of the late 80s and early 90s painted such a utopian view of the information age largely with only a few exceptions.

@type181

Imaginer that. The optimists heralded the "information age" as the new enlightenment.

Disinformation never occured to them.

@MrGoat Listeria and Salmonella commonly occur in dairy. That's the whole reason for pasteurization.

That should be "electorate", no idea electorage hapened or what it means.

@northernbassist

Control the House, the Senate, the Presidency and 2/3rds of the state legislatures.

I cannot predict the future, but I know almost 1/3rd of the public will believe whatever the MAGA party tells them to believe/

Another third of the electorage isn't paying attention and doesn't know how things work.

Part of the remaining third live in their day-dream utopias.

Which leaves less than a third of the public that is paying attention, knows how things work, and who think the ideal of the USA is worth fighting for.

Which prisoners didn't make it out of Vietnam, Stockdale replied:

Oh, that's easy, the optimists. Oh, they were the ones who said, 'We're going to be out by Christmas.' And Christmas would come, and Christmas would go. ... And they died of a broken heart. This is a very important lesson. You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end—which you can never afford to lose—with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

@Coffee_and_Salt @wolfwoman

There used to be rules, no Thanksgiving stuff before Halloween, no Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving.

This year, Christmas stuff showed up in some stores before Halloween.

Christmas is eating the other hollidays,

@gshevlin They'll just lie about it.

The MAGA party's first criteria for membership is when they ask you to not believe what the tell you not to believe,

@darcrich Ironically, within 2 years US beef prices should be cheaper.

Durring the droughts, cattle ranchers cut back their herds, drought was over last year, but it takes 2-3 years for cattle to mature, so we should see herd sizes grow in the next couple of years,

@EdgeOErin

Sorry, yes the horror clown.

I need more time to grieve.

I have nothing to say. I am not ready to hear others either.
