I received a questionaire from the Republican National Committee asking for a donation. Should I send Rubles or Pesos?

I would send used toilet paper….

Rubles of course DA!

Canadian dollars from your new home.

Hey @Hawaii_Jake we call our dollar the looney ,because it is a coin with a loon on the back, but it fits give loonies to the Loonies.

Yen

@SQUEEKY2 I love that!

Send them Czechs on the condition that they:

Pass single-payer health care
Work to overturn Citizens United
Reduce military spending
Put another progressive judge in the Supreme Court
Leave the CPFB, EPA, and the ESA intact.
Oppose Agent Orange’s travel bans.
Follow the leads of Bernie and Lizzie, instead of their corporate ringleaders.

Iranian Rial.

I suggest putting all of the above currencies, but in the smallest coins.
For example, send 100 euros, but in one cent coins. Do it for all these currencies above and watch the results.

Send them Venezuelan Bolívar’s but it may cost you more to ship it than it’s worth.

If you must send something, send them a bag of chicken feed.

Empty promises, just like they give to us.

I.O.U.‘s or useless Greece bonds.

hmmm….just amazed at the level of vitriol to someone who has so little control over how the sun rises over you tomorrow.

@Cruiser Dude, seriously? Amazed? WTF have you been the last several years? It is all we saw.

btw, I am thinking pesos to help build the wall and, well, I guess that is why

@rojo Trying to decipher your answer as best I can….to answer your question I have been working my ass off paying ginormous amounts of taxes and thankfully making profits to pay those taxes. Fuck the wall…anyone who nibbled on the piece of work deserves the Bullshit that fills the bellies of your expectations. This push pull between the loser Democrats and the Winner Republicans is childish and exhaustive. Do yourself a favor and take ownership of your own lives..the government only wants what it can take from you to feed the beast they are.

Confederate money, maybe, or Reichsmarks.

I cannot agree more @Cruiser however, I cannot fail to point out that the Republicans set the tone for it. And, while I think you and I are on the same page about the absolute abomination that the federal government has become, due to such things as allowing unlimited contributions, calling corporations people and a lack of term limits, where we differ is in our belief that Trump can in any way, shape or form, be considered an actual alternative.
Drain the swamp?? All he has done is replace the alligators with crocodiles!
The biggest difference you and I have is concerning regulations. You see them as impediments to your making money while I see them as protections for me and others from the scum that are willing to fuck us over in the name of the almighty dollar. Protect my water, my air and my earth! Keep me safe from those who would abuse the worker to make a buck.
I am not saying you are one of these but you suffer because of those who do. What you see as impediments to you I see as protections to me.

I wouldn’t give nothing and would spend the money on a newspaper instead.

Monopoly money, of course.

^^“anything”

@rojo The regulations I am concerned with bog down my day everyday and do not afford me any addtional protections or you as an individual. It is all IMO wholly necessary in it’s new form implemented in 2014. My entire industry was forced to change our entire labeling system and our MSDS’s into SDS’s. I make anywhere from 200–250 different products as well as 30 private label accounts. I have 3 labels for each product. It is now 3 years since it was implemented and I am still doing this damn rewrites.

I work with chemicals, my customers work with chemicals my suppliers supply chemical we all know what these chemicals are and the proper safety procedures in handling them. We have training programs that cover this and are required by law. These same chemicals are in your household under your sink and in garages around our country. These are VERY nasty chemicals. Guess what? The Government gave a pass on these new regulations to companies that manufacture and market these chemicals to consumers. So tell me, how is the regulation helping protect you? I say it is very directly harming you because you have no clue as to the potential harm these chemicals can cause you. It is costing me dearly to comply…but hey…I just pass that cost onto my customers and in many cases filters back to your pocketbook in some way shape or form.

I also have a yuge problem with Obama’s banking reg’s of 2010 that IMO did not help protect you and most certainly affected me and not in a good way, but I am tired of writing.

@Cruiser That’s like voting for Hitler because the trains were running late.

Real cute @flutherother I bristle at the Hitler comparison because it represents very unsophisticated thinking on your part. I voted for Trump because I could not stand another 8 years of failed Liberal Democratic policies that have near permanently derailed our great country and coupled with a selfish desire to make more money. I do not need you or any another Jelly to remind me just how polar opposite my conservative views are from the collective here either. I welcome constructive discourse here and occasionally it does happen…but it is inevitable ad hominem attacks derail the discussion and I will simply unfollow the thread.

@Cruiser Then, perhaps, we should have a review and determine exactly what the regulations are supposed to be doing, whether they are working or not, implement changes that make them more user friendly and effective and where and when they should be applied. Right now, you, me, most others do not have the financial means to have a voice. These regulations come about for two reasons, the minor one being to protect the public (and this should actually be number one) and the major one being to stifle competition in the “free” market. In your particular case someone with a lot of cash paid off your/my/our elected government officials to insure that they would not have to comply with these regulations in the consumer market. I know you are not saying their should be no regulations or warning labels but that they should have real world applications and purpose and I agree. The question is how do you get the bribery and graft out of the process.

I cannot defend Obama so called banking regs. They were a joke. Their ineffectiveness bought and paid for by the very industry that they were supposed to regulate; the same guys that paid to have Glass-Steagall eliminated (a regulation that was, by all accounts, very effective at accomplishing its intended goal).

@rojo I disagree about having a voice. Emails and phone calls to our Senators and Congressmen are free for the most part. Granted our voices are a whisper compared to the voice lobbyists have. I write them all the time on issues that affect me and I get replies that clearly address my concerns and gives me the satisfaction my voice is at least heard. It is the Proctor Gambles of the world that are probably behind ensuring that chemicals in consumer are not regulated the same way they are at my end of the spectrum.

I was more than surprised when I developed a water based product here and that the cosolvent in that formula is the same cosolvent in Windex. More than a few formulas have Benzyl alcohol in them the same ingredient in many shampoos, cosmetics and cleaners that is currently banned in all imported products by most of Europe. Than and phenol. Has the US chemical companies scrambling to formulated alternatives. Early reports are all they are doing is shifting one molecule and you now have a non-banned alternative with all the associated hazards of the banned substance. Nothing more than a chemical slight of hand. I am not for relaxing chemical regulations relating to the chemicals handling and especially disposal. Personally I think a LOT more should be done to educate consumers on what they have in their household products and more opportunity for proper recycling and disposal of unused products and pharmaceuticals that most simple dump down the drain and is having a terrible effect on our waterways and even the water coming out of your tap. We have to change our out of sight out of mind mentality and start taking better care of our planet before it’s too late.

@rojo Better get 2 bags of chicken feed. Somebody else might deserve some.
