Beer and buffets in LasVegas casinos are more expensive than ever. I did double up on roulette but it was not a very big bet.

The Governor of Nevada during 2019 was a Democrat. Prior to 2019 it was a Republican.

Well, fix it. Make steak breakfast $2 again.

You can get In-N-Out and Shake Shack there. Our choice was Shake Shack. It was excellent.

That newish abandoned red property on the north end of the strip was interesting.

Steak breakfast at In-N-Out? You crazy dog

[2dimes]

Um, the little dot then a space between lines were supposed to seperate. $2 Vegas steaks from the In-N-Out part.

There was probably no steak in the abandoned property either.

Slow n out is way more gooder.

I want to like In-N-Out more than I do. I think their food is excellent and not badly priced. I have just been slightly under whelmed by the burgers. Kind of strange really. I think I have only managed to go to two locations. One I walked a couple of miles to, near LAX on the other side from the terminal, the other in Salt Lake City.

Shake Shack burgers were quite good in LasVegas. There I skipped In-N-Out because there were way to many other eating things on the itinerary.

There was a Casino with a less expensive buffet beside the interstate between the dam and LasVegas but my wife the crab didn't want to try it and my offspring were not hungry either. So I donated a few bucks to some slots and then we headed back to town.

One downside to aging is I have become a shadow of my younger glutton self.

Why do you keep posting this BS you don’t even believe?

[jimboston]

Most of these stats are meaningless....

Unemployment rate: 3.6% - BEST SINCE 1970
-> What % of these jobs pay living wages? What about all the people who have given up looking for work?

NYSE Composite Index: 13,944 BEST SINCE 1792
-> Now adjust for inflation and explain how this impacts the average American.

Dow Jones Industrial Average: 28,645.26 BEST SINCE 1888
-> See above.

S&P 500: 3,240.02 BEST SINCE 1926
-> See above.

Per Capita Income: $55,100 HIGHEST SINCE 1776
-> Adjusted for inflation?

U.S. Exports: $207 billion MOST SINCE 1776
-> See above

U.S. Net Natural Gas Exporter?: Yes FIRST TIME SINCE 1957
-> So exporting Global Climate Change is a good thing?
-> Talk to me. when we import no fossil fuels... better when we don’t use them at all.

Inflation Rate: 2.1% 1.1% BELOW 100-YEAR AVERAGE
-> That’s because the economy is really just stagnating.

Federal Deficit as Percent of GDP: 5% ALMOST HALF OF DEFICIT DURING OBAMA'S THIRD YEAR IN OFFICE
-> So spending less than the last spend-thrift President. is a win?

Active U.S. Navy Ships (Battle Force only): 296 MOST SINCE 1997
-> Spending more on outdated military is good? How about we reduce our military involvement in other countries, not beat our chest and say how awesome we are.

Space Force Created?: Yes WORLD'S ONLY DEDICATED SPACE WARFARE SERVICE
-> This may be window dressing... or it may be a good thing. IDK. Time will tell.
-> We really need a “Cyber Force” more than a “Space Force”.

Federal Judges Appointed and Confirmed: 158 MORE THAN ANY PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY
-> How many spots were vacant because the Senate (immorally) sat on Obama’s appointments and refused to confirm?
-> So the President now gets ‘credit’ when judges retire?

Illegal Immigrants in United States: 9.9 million FEWEST SINCE 2004
-> If he accomplished this by stopping illegal entry and legalizing people who’ve been contributing members of society for years... that would be good. Accomplishing this by ripping babies out of their mothers arms... not so good.

Won Bid to Host "World Cup"?: Yes 2026 TO BE FIRST U.S. "WORLD CUP" SINCE 1994
-> Please explain how he had anything to do with this.

Won Bid to Host Summer Olympics?: Yes 2028 TO BE FIRST U.S. SUMMER OLYMPICS SINCE 1996
-> See above.

Hey now. Be nice.

I can't help it if In-N-Out burgers look so good and are made with quality ingredients yet seem to lack flavour. Maybe I just need to bring some sauce or add ketchup next time.

The thing about In-N-Out is that there is only 4 things on the menu, but the secret menu has hundreds of things (many of which depend on the staff you speak with or the location). It's when you start customizing, like a double-double messy animal style, that the burgers become good.

[2dimes]

Fair enough, I'm definately a rank amateur there. Thing is a plain burger at Wendy's can be pretty decent at the right location. My favorite style burger is the Whopper that combo is pretty smoking.

I understand In-N-Out and the concept of easy communication would be nice here. Trying to get a burger without cheese here can be difficult depending on who is on the register or making them.

I will try messy animal style if I get a chance. Sounds decent.

Burgers or GTFO.

That’s falling under the umbrella of the US Army... not it’s own branch.

A Cyber Force as it’s own branch could recruit 98lb nerds who have aversion to sunlight and it wouldn’t necessarily require these geeks to pass through your typical Army Boot Camp... think of all the potential candidates we miss because this is under the Army!

Translation... you know I’m right, and you have no response.

[jimboston]

Burgers or GTFO.

The Space Force can’t eat burgers in space...

All the other branches have no problem and they provide a good source of protein for the daily workouts.

An independent Cyber Force could also consume burgers... nerds need protein too to power their brains.

UMMMM ... mrswdk isn't an American so couldn't join regardless, dummy

[mrswdk]

I for one would welcome four more years of Trump leading the US. Vote Trump 2020

[waauw]

Obtaining growth is a pretty straight-forward case when you opt to simply spend more money. Obama ended his term with a 3.1% deficit. Trump ended 2019 with a 4.6% deficit.

I was in that Casino! Crazy night to be honest! First i won around 1k USD but after fail fail and I lost everything

[Dukasaur]

Fucking spambots getting more sophisticated. Inserting the spam in the other guy's message, that's a new one.

[saxitoxin]

Sounds like mrswdk; inserting himself in other guys without permission.
