Well I'm glad they're confirming it again, but here in Louisiana we've known this for decades.

Why does that title sound like it's out of a 1940's war reel?

Well that's a hysterically minuscule number.

Fire sale, insider trading, stock manipulation, price manipulation... pick a scam/con. It's at least one of them.

As an older American from the deep south, it's just a holdover from cheap high calorie/high carb foods to start the day back when America was mostly agrarian.

Then when the 50s rolled around it got combined with nutrition concepts of a "balanced breakfast" by cereal marketing firms and romanticized to sell even cheaper products to children/parents; sugared cereal.

For me, breakfast is bacon, eggs and biscuits or toast. And maybe grits if I'm feeling like it. I like hash browns but I don't like making them.

It's just leftover marketing. Eat what makes you happy.

Blue MAGA baby, they can't help it.

I mean, sure hindsight is 20/20.

But Columbia would have never happened if Congress hadn't pulled funding for the titanium heat shield they wanted.

Cons: Expensive vehicles means we still don't have Medicare for All.

Cons:

Trading with "the enemy" used to be considered treasonous.

Cons:

It HAS to be made out of prohibitively expensive and difficult to acquire titanium.

Not a rocket scientist so I can't say.

But I'm betting a room full of them and NASA engineers thought through all of their options based on the criteria and current tech.

Ok, buddy, if you say so.
