@tmeire_ @maxleiter @Levels ah, but is it a token effort? :D

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@TheRickyDavila I doubt that. Trump has NEVER seen a pool of money he didn't want to get his own hands into.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@RockChartrand Everyone wants the government to give THEM free stuff, while being fully on board that OTHER people don't get free stuff, just them.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@glenn_tunes Someone probably made an analogy, wanting to explain just how large a pool he wanted painting, and he demanded they make it into a prop for him.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@ChrisMartzWX If clothes or furniture were generally worth a lot of money, the government would add an ownership tax for them.
Never believe a government needs to justify why it wants money from you.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@tmeire_ @maxleiter @Levels bro, do you even lift? :D

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@OldManLefty1 Because it's Trump saying it, and while Iran HAS frequently agreed to not have nuclear weapons, there is no reason to assume he has even discussed it with them in the last week before making this statement.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@MikeNellis Well, at least you know he's still alive. That was doubtful up until today.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@cra46159 Actually a complex question, at least in the UK.
Uniformed officers come in multiple varieties, full time, part time and volunteer.... The ones you see walking are often basically a glorified Community Watch :D

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@BalogunSonia4 Historical Reasons, mostly. Same as how virgin brides are expected, but virgin grooms aren't.
Could be down to there historically being no way to REALLY tell the father of a child, while the mother is pretty obvious?

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@MenezesCracked Empires tend to standardize things; an arbitrary measure (like the inch or the foot) becomes consistent by fiat.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@RichardJMurphy Government constantly jerks the lead called "tv licence fee" every time the BBC fails to toe the party line...

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@tii_bag Worth checking if that is illegal in your jurisdiction too :D

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@kiara7829 Same reason they arrest illegals but not the people employing them.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@HazelLiaqa4848 Yes.
But this is normal - Trump has NEVER understood that respect has to be earned, and has always demanded it, not earned it.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@RandomDev06 I don't think it matters.
A small fraction of people genuinely are intolerant of things like gluten. Getting food for them was an expensive nightmare.
Now supermarkets stock food, at reasonable prices, for those who are performatively intolerant. The benefit outweighs the dumb.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@wcbuecker he didn't even know dumb had a b in it.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@wcbuecker Never assume he knows things.

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@BladeoftheS And now he has met the king of the same country, all he can think of is that the king there has his face on their currency....

[DaveHowe @DaveHowe]

@Bennieeexyz How long did it take her to figure out why it was somehow still your fault?
