And, a good friend of 12 years just became collateral damage as Trump & Musk "get away with it because they're stars"

6. A couple days ago I was at...

A store I frequent, a mom & pop franchise, instead of the corporate alternative down the street. There's an employee there, a manager, whom I suspected of being a magat but never let conversations go in that direction. As I was shopping there the other day, we were talking about the high prices and unavailability of some goods, like the bags for my vacuum cleaner are made in Canada, due to the tariff thing, and she praised the ogre in chief for his bringing the rest of the world to heel. A sudden rush of ugly energy passed through me. She saw my look of disgust. I paid for my items and vowed to avoid ever setting foot in that establishment again. I'll go to the competitor down the street. I won't feel bad as I went out of my way to shop there... I have no desire to expose myself to that kind of ignorance willfully.
