    Biden's not President... stupid.


    Correct.
    If Amazon or any other company wishes to increase their pricing that's on them. The beauty is that the consumers have a choice.

    "Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

    All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

    "Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
    of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

    Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
    three distinct phases or stages:

    "In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
    as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

    "The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
    solely of hyperbole."

    "As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

    The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
    Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
    nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
    positively by TDSers.

    The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
    punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

    Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
    Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
    reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."

    I dropped Amazon years ago.

    Walmart+ is the way to go now.

    Amazon used to offer real value. Not really so much anymore. I'm
    starting to return to local purchasing.
