  1. Actually 2 should be: “Spend more, then wonder why you’re out of money.”

  2. If only they bought lots on the other side of 8th Avenue... they’d be holding some prime real estate once the park was open.

  3. This may explain those stories of people in royal circles having 10 course dinners.

  4. President Jefferson invited a French expert to bring over a Meter and a Kilogram so we could see if the system was better or not... But the poor Frenchmen’s ship was hijacked by pirates, his examples stolen, and he never made it to the US. Think about that next time you root for Jack Sparrow.

  5. 3:33 Mickey puts on blackface... Yeah. Bet Disney wants us to forget about this.

  6.  @Dan-fo9dk  yes, and that’s where many of the people coming here illegally are from, not Mexico, but Central American countries overrun by government and police corruption and gangs.

  7. Not just Japanese, all Asians were seen as inferior to whites in America, and were for a time barred from obtaining US citizenship… sadly some ignorant people still treat Asians this way even today.

  8. Funny, when I played with family and friends when I was a kid, I was better at 3s than inside the arc, and that was over 20 years ago.

  9. “Subdivisions/ in the high school halls/in the shopping malls/ be cool or be cast out.”

  10.  @Coolsomeone234  Fun fact: the Keystone XL pipeline would NOT bring more oil into the US, it would simply shift oil off of rail cars and into the new pipeline (a cheaper alternative to ship oil for the oil companies).

  11. Hmm, if this was done by appointment, like say they knew Mrs. Lincoln was coming in, couldn’t they have painted Abe on the glass with something not detectable to the average individual that when processed affects the print?

  12. So a rushed into distribution vaccine that only works 50% better than not having a vaccine and no idea of any long term side effects? To quote Dr. McCoy, “What is this, the dark ages?”

  13. People were encouraged to shoot bison from passing trains. 🤦‍♂️

  14. Why, because you try asking Trump to let someone else take the central role in a crisis! Trump: “You don’t want ME up front and center?? You’re fired.”

  15. Just 4 strings... and no frets like on a more modern instrument so you have to learn how to intonate with your fingers without hitting sour notes. Good luck.

  16. Auction is useful if you land on something and you can’t pay full price... and neither can your opponent.

  17. Star Trek called, they want their Holodeck back. 😊

  18. Right, so you raise taxes on the 1% to make them pay more... and they take their money and move it offshore... or they just up and leave the country altogether because they can actually afford to do it!

  19. “Target is moving too slow... suggest we get out and walk.”

  20. DEVO puts it best: “Freedom of choice is what you’ve got, freedom from choice is what you want.”

  21. Problem with electric heat: in the 1990s a major ice storm hit Quebec and knocked out the power... Quebec had cheap enough electric power (thanks to hydroelectric dams) that most homes used electric heat... no power+extremely cold temperatures= people froze to death in their homes.

  22. Putin is scared that Navalny will start riding bears with no shirt on.

  23. There is mounting evidence that Russia was also using trapped civilians as human shields to stop Ukraine from targeting them.

  24. You still need them on public transit and airplanes in the US at least until mid-April. The governor claimed that you can’t do contact tracing on the subway here in NY… but then NY state cut most of their contact tracing teams a few weeks after. 🤷‍♂️

  25. Because when you make it mandatory, and even offer to cover the costs, the companies will scream “my profits!” And then jack up prices for their customers... who will blame the government for “over-stepping”.

  26. Is the Polish tribunal a “for life” thing like the Supreme Court in the US?

  27. If you are relying solely on social media to decide whether or not to vote, or who you’ll vote for... you’re doing a huge disservice to yourself and the country.

  28.  @UnknownUser-ej8tk  materials may not last much longer if 3D printing tech expands rapidly, then you’ll only need the “ink” for the printers.

  29. The earth had millennia to create and maintain a balance, and in only a few centuries we have disrupted the balance by burning carbon in excess. The only comparison I can think of is a massive volcanic event in what is now Siberia that threw so much ash and gases into the atmosphere that it caused a global temperature drop that wiped out a majority of species in a mass extinction.

  30.  McDonken  as that episode goes on that just devolves more and more... "De tuk r jerbs!"

  31.  @realenew  I’ve done that on the subway getting stuff home from IKEA, helps that I’m near an elevator station and I have a folding cart. But if it’s too huge I’ll just have it delivered.

  32.  @starboysuniverse9956  did you not watch the video, pooling money into the Covax system would have been better, the bilateral deals should have been subsumed into covax so everyone benefits and there wouldn't be a long wait for poor nations (in in the US, but thanks for assuming things.)

  33. No, unfortunately the last funding bill “dies” and can’t be used anymore, even if there’s no replacement in place.

  35. We are literally trashing our planet.

  36. Al Czervik was right.

  37. Wind turbine blades are fiberglass like boat hulls... not exactly easy to recycle... and apparently when you replace them you either have to eat the cost to recycle them or just landfill them... I think most are ending up in landfills.

  38.  @jackfitzpatrick8173  this video was about the Clinton administration, yes Biden was there as a Senator, but Harris was probably in law school back then.

  39.  @BS-vm5bt  actually Eritrea taxes citizens living overseas, but it’s a small tax and they are much less aggressive about it. Total irony: the USA complains about Eritrea doing this at the UN, but no one ever complains about the USA doing it.

  40.  @donny_doyle  that may only work temporarily until an even more expensive solution is found (and then give the contract to a donor)

  41. @ and then don’t actually fix anything… so you can use it again in the next election!

  42. Actually tried to make a west African dish with real yams... And they under cooked by a lot... 🥵 (Probably because they were sitting in the store for a long while.)

  43. It’s Hollywood thinking the loon call will bring in the Loonies, from Canadian moviegoers. 🇨🇦

  44. Putin would love to see NATO vanish. See what he did to Crimea... He'll do that to all the former Soviet states. Maybe we need to make peace with Russia and China, if we aren't seen as adversarial towards them they would back off. We also need to lead the world in denuclearization... That would stop places like Iran and North Korea from saying, "oh, we can't have nukes, but you can? Pfft."

  45.  @mashedtomato2079  everything east of the ends of the Queen's blvd line and flushing that isn't served by the LIRR.

  46. Right, but who’s getting the profits, and who’s getting the shaft… look at Nigeria, oil swamps, toxic water, billions of dollars vanished.

  47. That talk of making a $1 trillion coin to cover debt… what’s to stop us from just making 30 of them and paying off all that debt? Yeah it might crater our credit rating for a while, but that’s why we mint extra coins.

  48. Look, either just take the terrorists out back and shoot them or admit this is a prison for non-Americans and we’re holding them without due process or trial for the rest of their natural lives. Whichever is cheaper for the taxpayers. (Though I suspect someone is making money off this hand over fist.)

  49. The irony is, it was supposed to be CHEAP after the expensive F-22!

  50. Reminds me of the opening of Blazing Saddles, “When you was slaves, you sang like birds. How about a good old n—— work song?”
