I prefer “Because I already have an extremely needy and expensive narcissist in my life and I’m filling the role quite well.”

...and the Oracle foretold unto Dolly that one of her two children would one day supplant her. And lo, Dolly swallowed her children and they sit in her bosom to this day.

As a weirdo (Masshole, sorry) on a motorcycle (non Harley) who visited Dollywood a decade ago and walked around in a Joy Division shirt, tight jeans, and jet black dyed hair, I stuck out weirder than a AAA cup at a Dolly lookalike contest.

I don’t even like her music (in fact, I’m borderline on active hate of all things C&W) and I’D fight to the death for her.

Interestingly, I run into the same resistance and flummoxed people when my partner and I say we are happy with our one kid.

I love that everyone seems to be in agreement Dolly is just the best. Kevin Smith on his podcast a while back talked about the time he got to meet Dolly at her concert, and it could’ve been a quick hello or she understandably could’ve declined given she had finished tearing down the proverbial house, but she greeted…

Dolly is too classy to say, “What the fuck is it to you and why the fuck do you think you have the right to ask that?”

Sad part is, he’s already looking at running for 2024 already...

This is an excellent point, blanket bans are not practical

You’re quite right the hospitality industry is a good way to make a little money by starting with a lot of money, but I suspect May is wealthy enough that he can take the Charles Foster Kane approach to the business - “I did lose a million dollars last year. I expect to lose a million dollars this year. I expect to…

I think that this is a difficult position to hold in a time where everybody feels they need to be on message, or somebody will hold up any weakness in a position as kryptonite to the entire message.

“when it’s not cold, damp and misty”

“Oh Cock” and “No Cock”, obviously.

Its should be noted that things like wheelchairs actually have a separate tax, 2.3% Federal tax on all medical apparatuses, to help pay for ACA ironically. So to pay for ‘affordable’ health care they make it cost more money

To each their own. I keep a year of expenses in cash. Helps me sleep at night and keeps me from being tempted to sell stocks when things are going south- especially at times like March when the stock market was cratering and everyone was getting laid off.

Never pay a lease upfront. In the event of a total loss accident that money is GONE. And a dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow - pay as much tomorrow as you reasonably can. The only way to do a lease is NO money down upfront.

What happens when the CC company doesn’t apply your payment in time? Oh you sent it on time, and they probably even got it, either through the mail or online, but there was a glitch somewhere and it didn’t get applied to your account.

You know who I really like, Suze Orman. I have not seen many of her videos, but all of the ones I have seen are people calling up like “I have $20k in CC debt and a car loan that is underwater and needs repair, but I want to buy a new $3,000 Gucci bag, should I do it?” And she just stares at the camera with a look of…

Thank you! So many people treat Ramsey as gospel, but if you can manage your money, Ramsey is the OPPOSITE of the advice you should be taking. The amount of money you can make using credit cards with rewards (and paying them off every month) and taking out low interest loans WAY offsets the mental issues you may have h…

Dave Ramsey is for people who are really terrible with money. Generally, his ideas aren’t the best advice if you have any financial acumen and decent credit.
