So....I spent two minutes researching what actually happened over the weekend. A few things...

1. US Navy ships will no longer be charged for passage through the canal. This is a good thing and congrats to Trump (and Rubio?) for getting this done. I'm actually surprised that was even a thing.
2. Panama has agreed to not renew its memorandum of understanding on the 2017 "Belt and Road" initiative. This feels more like a political win that doesn't mean anything.
3. Trump and Rubio are focusing on the fact that ports on either side of the canal are operated by a Chinese company. However, Panama (and China) say that the ports have nothing to do with the operation of the canal itself. The whole obsession with those ports has more of a feel of jealousy than any threat to operations of the canal.

There's a lot of posturing and it's a good thing that our Navy ships will not get free passage, but other than that...this feels like a lot of yelling about things. We gave the canal back to Panama decades ago and unless we are ready to admit that Russia has a right to subjugate Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and all of the 'stans, we should quit talking about using military force on something that hasn't really been that big of an issue. When actions by our leaders mirror those of the leaders of countries that are widely consider to be evil....we should be questioning if those actions should be taken.

There is a lot of penis wagging and peacocking going on right now in the White House and it's unbecoming for so many people to embrace it. It is a good thing that Panama has apparently agreed to allow our Navy ships to pass through free of charge but one has to wonder if Trump needs to be a big giant prick about everything to get that one real concession.

Ok I suffered through a couple of minutes of Calzano. Here's my take on the proper course of action:

• F all this bullshit. No matter who (if anyone) the Pac adds, we suck as a conference and our whole wet dream of being P4 quality is LONG gone. Was from Day 1. Any media deal we will get is pathetic compared to the P4
• Go back to the reverse merger NOW. Kind of clunky at this point, but what - 15-16 FB schools, all but NIU full members. 16-18 BB schools? There we go. Best of the rest, best of the West (I just made that up)
• Oh and fire Teresa tomorrow. Gloria becomes Commissioner. HQ moves to Las Vegas

Thanks for demonstrating, yet again, that you’re even dumber than I am suggesting Goober is in my post to him.

Here’s something that will completely blow your mind: drive around to different gas stations in your town and check the prices. Are they the same? Does gas cost the same in Spokane and Seattle? Los Angeles? New York? Hmm…

By all means, Please note the source. (Btw, $11 eggs were @ Safeway. I’ve got a picture I may post, may not)

I digress.

Geezus, you're both dolts.

Egg prices recently had nothing to do with who was in office, HPAI that ran rampant through egg farms and forced mass culling was the reason.

6-8 weeks to get new layers in, which is about how long its been, and egg prices will get back to normal.

Problem was that so many people were hoarding TP and sanitizing wipes that they created the shortage. There was no rational reason to hoard TP…ever. There wasn’t much rational reason to hoard wipes, although at that point people were being told to clean doorknobs and elevator buttons, so at least that could be excused.

I don’t recall ever actually running short of TP, but I do recall that people were stealing the fat industrial rolls from work. Not sure why, that stuff was John Wayne paper, and was about the last thing I’d want to take home.

The rough stuff actually grabs those cling-ons better. Although my hot, supple tush gets Soft and Gentle.

Do I need to relink the Shit List? In case this thread goes South as they all do......

Imagine eating this way. Taking bags of who knows what from people you don’t know and dumping it down your gullet.

Probably wouldn’t be very healthy for the body. Probably isn’t really healthy for the mind to be consuming “information” in this format.

Oh for F-s' sake. My commentary, and the article itself, despite the headline, have little to do with Trump himself, or the tariffs for that matter. It is about the stupid shits that make up this country and buy 20 dozen eggs because - as you say - why?

And your isolated examples, while cute, do not at all describe the shitshow at Costco or elsewhere. You telling us that every shopper in line was buying for the Legion breakfast or their care centers? C'mon buddy, you are smarter than that. It is a commentary on our f-ed up, brain-dead populace. Just like the TP hoarding a while back. Although to be fair, I did pick up a 4 pack of TP just to be safe......
