#2 literally shows an item priced at $14.88

I'm not doubting you, but that's certainly less common than the drive through ATM

The article doesn't actually say they are phasing out pouches, just that they are introducing bottles.

Why? I have no reason for my phone screen to be on while it's in my pocket

But what happens when the door opens?

Empirical means based on data. The word you are looking for is imperial.

Also, metric measurements are in base 10, so you have it backwards.

They don't make much profit off gas, but they do own it. They pay several thousand dollars when the truck comes to fill up the tanks, and they make that money back when they sell it. I've never heard of gas on consignment, or whatever you are talking about

I'm not talking about a transaction like in a grocery store. I'm taking about contracts. Under contract law, a debt paid in US currency is considered fulfillment of the contract.

Not quite. Any seller can reject any form of payment at the point of sale. But, after a contract has been established, private parties are required to accept U.S. currency as a form of payment.

Hence the words printed on paper money: "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE."

I've been seeing a lot of this lately and I agree, it definitely feels like an astroturf campaign.

Most single issue voters are focused on domestic issues such as abortion or the economy. And you would think that someone who cares so much about Israel would also be worried about other aspects of foreign policy such as Ukraine.

The whole premise is ridiculous. And I think it speaks to Biden's success as a president that this is the best campaign they can come up with.
