Everyone knows about that place at Louetta and Grant. Best Chinese food ever.

Ohhhh you were being philosophical and I was being like “Coach found the Hunan river Bistro”.

Hey straight up if you get hungry for Chinese food, Hunan River is really good and cheap.

When I was in the navy, they were $0.80 per carton with a limit of 10 cartons a month. I don’t smoke but would use them for barter overseas. Winston and Marlboro were tops for trading.

I’m sure that’s a chunk of it. It’s pretty much all covid one way or another.

Note: Employers not Employees

Probably Bidens fault.

The bear market in stocks won’t end until the bear market in housing ends, and that is just getting started.

Few understand this.
