"Dear Mr. Biden,
to follow up on our last letter to you:
We do sincerely apologize, if we do not consider the giraffe, that you had beautifully cut out of National Geographic Magazine and glued onto a canvas, to be worth '30.000 US Dollars', as you had propositioned as a form of settlement of your outstanding legal fees.
Also, we generally use 'sales tax' on invoices, as required by law, not '10% for the big guy'.
We can't accommodate your requests to the contrary here, unfortunately.
The same applies to 'just tack it onto the federal debt', as you suggested.
We're unable to, since we are a law firm, not Congress.
To briefly address the rest of your, at times somewhat incoherent, letter, we'd also like to mention, that we do not take any 'snow', illicit 'hot pix' of 'really young' minors, nor any promises of having 'Budanov take out whoever you want' as valid payment options.
We'd like to, again, apologize profusely for any inconvenience caused, Mr. Biden!

neti pot. You can get the squeezy kind to test it out. Use distilled or otherwise filtered water at room temperature or slightly warmer and follow the instructions. It can be really weird, but it *will* let you breath. also as you get used to doing it without hurting your ears you can really get some deep cleaning done.
I only have to use one every year or two anymore, but man, they're a lifesaver.

What is neoliberalism, and why should you care?
theguardian.com/books/2016/apr…
The irony of a philosophy that was originally created to prevent fascism, instead directly causing fascism, is extreme. This article is almost a decade old, and yet already draws the connection that led us down this hateful path.

The only reason why people are talking about Epstein/Israel, is because the elites want you to, they're the ones giving it the spotlight and providing all the drama.
And no, the goal isn't to distract you from something else they're doing, they don't need to distract you when you already have porn, democracy and religion.
The goal is to make "antisemitism" mainstream, Trump will also eventually turn on Israel.
This will justify sending the Jews back to the safety of Israel, before WW3 starts.
I think it's important to warn everyone that whatever happens, always be suspicious. Don't go to war for anyone, no matter how much it seems like the good guy finally come.
That advice remains robust no matter what exactly comes to pass...

Since July 1, 2022, eBay has been automatically collecting taxes on all sales made to Canadian buyers, regardless of the seller’s tax status. This measure has particularly worried occasional sellers, such as those selling items like hockey cards to fund their hobby, who, with an annual income under $30,000, were previously exempt from this obligation. Many have expressed frustration over the increased administrative complexity and new tax burdens imposed by this regulation.

If we're honest with ourselves--and no one with formal power has the ability to be honest with themselves-- Hamas has achieved its objective of showing the illegitimacy of the state of Israel, while Israel has completely failed in its objective of killing and expelling all Palestinian people.

Le cercle vicieux de la loi canadienne qui oblige eBay à collecter les taxes, même pour les vendeurs exemptés :
Plus de régulations → plus de contraintes pour les vendeurs → moins de vendeurs actifs → moins de choix pour les acheteurs → baisse du nombre d’acheteurs → moins de transactions réalisées → diminution de l’attractivité de la plateforme.
