It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

The September and October break is three weeks. But there won't be a break three matches into the season. So a 3-week break sucks but at least it won't interrupt the early flow.

My wife and I watch it every Christmas season. Will be particularly sad this year.

Trump says he’s ordered Hegseth to pay the troops during the government shutdown.

“We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS.”

Trump: Chuck Schumer recently said, "Every day gets better" during their Radical Left Shutdown. I DISAGREE! If nothing is done, because of
"Leader" Chuck Schumer and the Democrats, our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th. That is why I am using my authority, as Commander in Chief, to direct our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to use all available funds to get our Troops PAID on October 15th. We have identified funds to do this, and Secretary Hegseth will use them to PAY OUR TROOPS. I will not allow the Democrats to hold our Military, and the entire Security of our Nation, HOSTAGE, with their dangerous Government Shutdown. The Radical Left Democrats should OPEN THE GOVERNMENT, and then we can work together to address Healthcare, and many other things that they want to destroy. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

You might reach a different conclusion at the end. I did.

Brian @brianwithaneye.bsky.social · 1d

And the canal in Indy, outside of downtown, is absolutely the latter.

So I have a photographic memory which is really helpful for my career. Part of my job involves reading lots of reports and studies and interviewing people and I am really good at remembering everything I've read and recalling interviews and being able to pull that all together in other interviews.

Brian @brianwithaneye.bsky.social · 1d

He wasn't downtown. He was in Broad Ripple. And it was the canal not a fountain. Which is waaaaay worse. Trust me.

Cool, now will you make up my lost income because I'd like to not go homeless.

"He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation."

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

Maduro has apparently offered Trump Venezuela's oil in return for staying in power.

Nobel was Swedish. Seems like they should have to bear some of the burden.

Fwiw, you can see the law firm and addressee through the black out

Given how terrible the UX AND UI is for Paramount Plus here in the States, I'd absolutely love this.

Gotta get his stroke meds adjusted

Brian @brianwithaneye.bsky.social · 4d

Are we certain they are?

Brian @brianwithaneye.bsky.social · 4d

Damn it. Got my country singers with the surname Bryan mixed up.

Brian @brianwithaneye.bsky.social · 4d

Luke Bryan....until he sings his Fuck ICE song.

But in seriousness? Eric Church maybe? He's pretty independent but he'd probably pass.
