While I understand that companies have to make a profit and that costs are steadily going up for everyone, this shrinkflation and other marketing tricks companies play with their products is really starting to bug me. I for one, would rather pay an increased price for a product that I've been loyal to and use frequently, rather than change the size, quantity, or quality, of the product, especially doing so subversively. There are many examples of this, but the latest case in point and the one that has put me over the edge is Scott toilet tissue. I started using this product as a kid mainly because we had a septic tank/field and it was very good at breaking down in these systems and have found it to be consistently excellent and worth the price over rival brands. Frankly, I've used this product for many, many years and have been brand loyal to it. However, I recently noticed that it simply did not do the job as well as it formally did and with a bit of research learned that they did indeed shrink it in size and in thickness. I guess I gotta vent a little bit, but I wish these manufacturers would leave proven products alone and just pass along the rise in prices needed to produce and distribute the original product and still make a reasonable profit. How can it possibly be better to charge more for less quality, etc. not to mention that they try to slide it by you and hope you won't notice? So much for band loyalty at least for me! Anyway, thanks for listening.

"Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, had been detained at a KKK rally on Memorial Day weekend, 1927... Trump defends White Nationalist. Fascists loved the Jews American Fascists love the Blacks and Hispanics. Nothing unusual about DeSantis' appointee.

Regarding Blurryeyed who does not give a reference for his comment... "Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said he will not leave his office despite pressure from prominent lawmakers to resign over a racially offensive photo that appeared on his medical school yearbook page. The photo shows one person in blackface and another wearing a Ku Klux Klan robe." He was making fun of Al Jolson; he probably sang Mammy.

There is a time for racial prejudice symbioses to be relegated to old discarded history. We should not choose sides as in a football game. Political action should be for the people not the lobbyists.

Blurryeyed, do you have a long white dress and hood to ware at the Republican boy's house on K Street? I trust the answer is no.

First I would like to see some reputable source saying the border is wide open, and what they mean by that. As I understand it, rather than flaunting laws, Biden reversed a Trump edict that was illegal. The asylum laws far predate Biden's term in office, so it is disingenuous to blame him. Besides, as a Christian, isn't compassion one of the traits you are supposed to have, or strive to have? Is a Samaritan going to embarrass a Christian again?
What law is it that you contend Biden is breaking. I've met quite a few "Christians" who have all kinds of negative things to say about mainstream media, and come to find out they don't even own televisions. You aren't one of those are you?
