What can you spend 2.5 billion in campaign contributions on? Sure you can get a few nice cars and a nice office with drinks and food. You can hire drivers and assistants and chefs and live like a king all day while you're at work. But you can't take that money home and use it personally. So what is the other 2.4 billion used for? Running shitty ads?

Also, I thought the limit on federal campaign donations was like $104,000

Some people are just really into gaming and don't spend money on other stuff.

I keep hoping Barrett will side with the "liberal" justices because she did once, but she keeps disappointing me. Whenever there are oral discussions, she seems to take the time to understand the topic at hand and to understand the arguments for and against a case.

All pastas start somewhere. Maybe I'm not much of a chef

People are allowed to create independent campaigns for candidates as long as they don't coordinate with the official campaign. These independent campaigns can spend unlimited money and are protected by the first amendment since citizens united passed. But most people dont want to go through the hassle of creating a campaign.

What Hawaii has done will stop PACs and is a big step to stop dark money.

I stopped drinking it during COVID-19 when I think they changed their ingredients and the new shipment gave me diarrhea.

Could be windows update. Some updates restart your PC when you're not using it

Some people need to lose weight to avoid potential health issues, or they just want to for personal reasons, like to improve performance in recreational sports.

Yes ideally people would just enjoy exercise and eating healthy and lose weight in the process but some people need to do things in stages- first lose weight and then enjoy horseback riding or whatever.
