I did some deadlifts over the weekend. My body won't let me forget what I did every time I do anything.

Sounds like a comedy heist movie plot.

I agree, Aldi is great. Especially for 1-2 person households.

I continue to be spoiled by Costco's low prices. Seriously, check them out if you can.

I also imagine that similar wholesale clubs also have lower prices, but I cannot say from 1st hand experience.

And how useful is anyone if everything they say is probably a lie? Is that someone the public should trust?

They will when they're made of 100% plastic instead of the 45% they have now.

Try it for 1 day then report back to us. Curious how it will go.

Yes, yes. Guillotines. Come on, do you really think that could happen? I just don't think it is realistic.

After the recent news of several billionaires asking to be taxed more that seems like the most realistic and viable to redistribute some of the wealth. I think you could probably get unions and democrats (leverage ALL existing organizations) to help lobby for some sort of "patriotic wealth tax" or however you wish to spin it. Start small to get it established and then keep lobbying to increase it.

I would recommend staring with a tax on income (ANY income with NO deductions) over $1M/year, maybe 10%. And then tax anyone's assets over $1bn at 2% every 5 years. Then keep changing those numbers to increase the revenue.
