Pretty sure the moment me and @oknox.bsky.social decided we were going to be friends forever was on some Gore campaign press plane when we were kvelling over the Queen soundtrack to Highlander and I produced the actual CD from my bag.

LUTNICK: Generally 10%
DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%
LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff
DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America
