That was partly as a result of the Black Death reducing the workforce so much that it put the remaining population in a great bargaining position.

Given Trumps pick of RFK for HSS, I’d say give it a few years and you’ll be in a great position too.

You’re not the only one.

It’s similar, just with slightly larger tunnels.

Is this Trumps new HQ?

I believe the internals are all made from freedomite and it’s all a brand new design.

That’s fine, you’re all ok with American made laptops, right?
