Hapkido for me, but the problem is I have to be very careful when using it. It's not fun being detained and having to justify using on it someone even if you are 100% in the right.

"What Walmart’s pullback from Chicago says about Corporate America’s limits."

I don't see why this is such a big deal. Every business is in it to make money, and if a particular area/store isn't producing and rather losing big bucks, then it absolutely makes sense to shut it down.

I wouldn't fit in their agenda, nor would I want any false/witch-hunt charges brought against me.

Just used the very last roll of TP from when I mass-purchased back in mid-2020. As soon as I got wind that COVID had the potential to become a global issue, I started buying in bulk of hand-sanitizer, Clorox Wipes, Clorox Bleach, and anti-bacterial soap. Still have plenty of Dial Soap and bleach to last probably another 2 years. What I wasn't expecting was the hoarding of TP. I was in real estate property management at that time, so I ordered a sh!t ton of TP through the janitorial vendor we used at the time.

But I've always wondered: Why was TP and paper towels such a hot commodity during COVID? Anything anti-bacterial related I can understand, but why also TP?

Just doesn't make sense to me. How I would wipe wasn't even a thought for me when COVID came thru

"Christine Lagarde says she has ‘huge confidence’ that the US won’t default on its own debt."

....and who the hell are you? Lady, you can't look to the past to get insight on solutions on what to do for the current situation because this scenario is new: COVID, global supply shortage, war. The Feds are doing exactly this of using an outdated playbook for a scenario in which we've never been in before, and look how it's NOT working out.

"Economists predict banks are getting more cautious about lending money after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March, escalating fears of a credit crisis."

Ummm....banks have been getting more cautious about lending money since the Feds starting raising rates starting over a year ago. It's called quantitative tightening and it's been happening WAY before the bank collapse.

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. can’t count on family support to take on Biden."

"Patrick Kennedy, the former Rhode Island congressman who’s the son of Ted Kennedy, the younger cousin of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and an advocate for mental health and addiction issues, told CNN his feelings on the campaign are clear: 'I support President Biden.'"

How pathetic that you can't even get support from your own family to run for office

Look and see on how many businesses have shut down and or pulled out of Portland, and Seattle. Then there is Cali. Try and rent a U-Haul in Cali. Once they find out that you are taking it out of state. The cost goes up triple.
