I ask you: Is this a great country or what?

John,
It once was a great country.
As Steppenwolf sung back in the day “America where are you now, don’t you care about your sons and daughters”……….
Sad that I must agree, Mark. Been doing all my venting and lamenting on Twitter these days until Elon throws me out for trolling him. Yes, I’m afraid that this is what the dumbing down process has wrought…
Back to the business at hand: I thought that prices were fair on 1) Hold Social Media Platforms Accountable -125 and 2) Over 63 Minutes+120 was fair, and that 3) Predecessor +150 was excellent value!
Enjoy your day…
[loved that album BTW]
