  - I get what you're saying but you're not hurting him. you're hurting the business and emplyees and cities that need your money. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:26 18
    - For me it's not a boycott. It's that your country has increasingly stated that your borders are hostile. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 19:04 1
      - Now, that said, I've already visited for three weeks this year, and each entry was uneventful. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 1, 19:05
    - But there are consequences. People vote when their lives, personally, get affected. If nothing - Andie Jun 1, 18:31 1
      - Look I get it. But the amount of money that you would give the Fed govt, wouldn't even come close to the money the local and state economies would get - Remlik Jun 1, 18:35

        And all the people who didn't vote at all. A shit economy is the quickest way to get this asshole out of office. -- nm - TWuG Jun 1, 18:36 1
        
        I'd like to think that, but I suspect the poor will vote for him again becuase he's a 'businessman' -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:38
    - and maybe they will realize to vote against him as a result... -- nm - Beaker Jun 1, 18:27 8
      - which the majority of the USA did. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:34 6
        
        But not enough -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 18:34 5
        
        So....punish the majority of people who didn't want him? It's the electral college that effed us. -- nm - Remlik Jun 1, 18:37 4
        
        It's the people that didn't vote that effed all of us. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 1, 19:24
        
        most votes doesn't always win. that's always been a factor in your system. - mafic Jun 1, 18:50
        
        It isn't really about punishing. I have l limited vacation dollars, I feel better not spending them there right now. - Andie Jun 1, 18:39 1
        
        i feel ya -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 1, 18:43

The guy on Beachfront Bargain Hunt looks like a cross between David and Vincent D'onofrio -- nm - prayformojo Jun 1, 16:34 1

If one of you all can get in touch with the NBA real quick and have the move the start time up of Game 1 to 15 minutes from now, that'd be great -- nm - prayformojo Jun 1, 16:31 3
- nooooooo. it's already starting too early for me. -- nm - b. Jun 1, 16:43 2
  - when are those of us on the east coast gonna get a break for a change? -- (edited) - prayformojo Jun 1, 16:53 1
