To the curious: it was worse, it was not as good as Heinz or Hunt’s, and it didn’t fill the void of Dad being deployed to the illegal war (that he apparently really wanted to go to). Would not recommend.
I remember my parents using special George W Bush ketchup when he ran against Kerry, I guess Kerry was married into the Heinz family or something.
Maybe we should start a maga spice company to get in on the grift.
La carroza, la carroza! Invertido! Carta de guerra, de venganza! La vi sin ruedas sobre un rio obscuro! Un maleficio! Carroza de muertos, llena de huesos!
Some of these people believe homeless people are actually middle class and pretending because it pays better than getting a job. I had one tell me he honestly believes they go home, wash up, and then go engage in upper middle class pastimes once they get enough money standing on the side of the road.
I’m not sure how you even argue with that.
Wasn’t the problem that Hindenburg could appoint any chancellor he wanted if he rejected the pick of the legislature? By the time this election happened he had been ruling by emergency decree for like 2 years. And he was a conservative, even an imaginary alliance of centrists with the SPD and KPD would not have been able to force his hand if he didn’t want to accept a nomination he didn’t like, and he didn’t like the socialists or the communists.
I don’t think China wants to be the enemy of the US. They are the largest trading partner of the US. They seem genuinely interested in cooperating and bettering their own society. USians seem to be the ones bent on enmity. The US apparently thinks building infrastructure and developing the economies of other nations is ‘malign influence.’ The US killed citizens of allied nations through propaganda to ensure they wouldn’t become friendlier with China, who was offering them vaccines while the US and Europe were hoarding their own.
The US sees ‘being a large country and having influence’ as threatening, there’s no way to peacefully coexist with a country that sees everyone else as a threat by default.
Well we could devote those resources to solving the problems they are criticizing maybe. It would improve the lives of USians and undercut the arguments being brought up.
Spending billions to tell other countries that more infrastructure is actually bad is probably counterproductive and wasteful. Like how we spent money to kill Filipino people by telling them to avoid the Chinese produced covid jab.
