At one point not too long ago, we had a sale on nicotine pouches where getting two was actually cheaper than one by about 20 cents. Not 20 cents off the total, 20 cents off the price of buying one. Nobody ever said no to that deal. A few years back, we had a similar deal on PopTarts. One for 1.29 or two for $1.00. Rare, but crazy deals do happen.
Billions? Probably not. But a lot of unjustly obtained wealth? Oh heck yes. Hamas top leadership hides in Qatar, siphoning off donations of all sorts for their personal use. It wouldn’t terribly surprise me if some of those funds DID come from Israel to fund development in Gaza.
My hometown of about 700 people has two hardware stores. But that place is a bit weird. Plus, one of them is more of a tourist destination and nonelectric appliance store than a traditional hardware, despite the name. (Betting at least one person reading this now has a pretty good guess where I’m from).
There have been attempts to have other publicly owned teams, they’ve failed. Notably in the case of the Canton Bulldogs, one of the founding members of the NFL and early league champion, there just wasn’t any real interest. Which is a pity, had they not been briefly merged with the Cleveland Indians (NFL, not baseball) they might have maintained enough talent not to get booted from the league in ’27.
Satch is almost always smart in very specific ways, generally common sense type stuff. Bucky is frankly, insane. Both have odd and surprising bits of knowledge at times, usually Satch. When Bucky does it, he usually misinterprets that knowledge in some astounding way.
