Imagine one day having to explain to your grandchildren why you backed out of playing a concert for America's 250th birthday because you didn't want to upset people who now think men can get pregnant.

@WassonWatch That's the way I was leaning, but I'm still not 100% sure. 🤦🤦🤦

@John51423Steven @RussellCLehman @WassonWatch Hmm. Something to consider. I had an automatic Seiko for about 25 years that my mom gave me for graduation and I loved it. But I didn't realize that quartz kept better time.

@fanofchucky Nothing beats the Spanish version of enraged Chucky.

@RussellCLehman @WassonWatch I hear that. I'm in the middle of fixing my daughter's car after a wreck.

[Carson 🪓 KJ5AUC 73! @jason_carson]

@RussellCLehman @WassonWatch Same. I REALLY want the automatic limited edition, but I'm looking for ideas on how to convince my wife that I NEED this watch. Early birthday/Christmas gift? My birthday is in Dec. 6 mo early isn't too bad...right?

@RobertMSterling This one right here. This is way too accurate.

As Jimmy Kimmel continues to urge mentally unstable people to kill President Trump, I'm very thankful Jimmy Kimmel is down nearly 80% in viewers under the age of 54 in the past year and is now losing ABC over $1.5 million a month just by being on the air.

Have a great evening!

LOL - brilliant.

@ostrachan I've read nothing but positive thoughts on this movie. We'll have to check it out.

Cash for Clunkers destroyed 690,000 functional vehicles in 2009, creating an artificial scarcity that rippled through used car markets for over a decade. The Obama administration sold this $3 billion program as environmental salvation and economic stimulus, but any free market economist could predict the real outcome: massive wealth destruction disguised as progress.

The program forced dealers to pour sodium silicate into engines, permanently destroying cars that poor families could have afforded. Politicians eliminated the bottom tier of the used car market overnight. Suddenly, a reliable $3,000 Honda Civic became a $7,000 Honda Civic (if you could find one). The supposed beneficiaries — working-class Americans who needed affordable transportation — got priced out entirely.

Government intervention always creates unseen victims, and Cash for Clunkers delivered them by the millions. Single mothers, college students, and minimum-wage workers watched their mobility options vanish as used car prices soared 30% between 2009 and 2014. The environmental gains proved negligible too: most clunkers averaged 15-17 MPG while replacements hit 24-25 MPG. Destroying half a million cars to improve average fuel economy by 8 MPG represents the kind of central planning that would give Soviet bureaucrats a hard-on.

The wealth destruction extended beyond sticker prices. Higher transportation costs forced people into longer payment terms, creating a debt cycle that persists today. Cash for Clunkers normalized 84-month auto loans, turning cars from depreciating assets into multi-year financial anchors.

Bureaucrats congratulated themselves for moving inventory off dealer lots while condemning an entire generation to transportation poverty.

Chuck Norris is the main character in every movie.

@StolenDans The people butt hurt over that lyric are the same people who are offended by Blazing Saddles.

@AAgsanabria @TheCinesthetic I came here to mention this movie. I wish I could like this tweet 100 times.

[Carson 🪓 KJ5AUC 73! @jason_carson]

@RABF_Plissken @toys_retro Star Raiders. YES!!!

[Carson 🪓 KJ5AUC 73! @jason_carson]

@TheSuccessBach @toys_retro I used to love this game so much...

[Carson 🪓 KJ5AUC 73! @jason_carson]

@toys_retro I got duped into buying so many Atari games for that very reason. I wish I had kept all the boxes for the artwork.

[Carson 🪓 KJ5AUC 73! @jason_carson]

@TheCinesthetic Loved this movie!

[Carson 🪓 KJ5AUC 73! @jason_carson]

@tsirbroz_b @TheCinesthetic Lots of nightmare fuel in Return To Oz for me. The Wheelers topped it though.
