February 1Feb 1 Active Members A married couple and we were in Miami Beach before we'll be embarking on a cruise tomorrow. One of the couple bought a muscle hoodie at the store. After we'd left the store, his husband asked him if he'd seen that the store also sold MAGA caps. The hoodie-purchasing hubbie said he wouldn't have bought the hoodie had he known. I wouldn't have either (I guess I have to look more carefully). Later that day, I was surprised to walk buy another tourist store which sold both MAGA and rainbow flag caps, and prominently displayed them in the front window! I thought that was a strange combo. One would think that LGBTQ-friendly people wouldn't patronize a store which sold MAGA hats, and that MAGAts wouldn't patronize a store which sold gay-friendly clothing. Would you patronize a store which sold MAGA caps? Isn't this a strange business model?
February 1Feb 1 That's a difficult question. I avoid businesses that I know their primary customer base would be MAGA. For example, in the area of Denver where I live is a small, drive-thru coffee shop. They have MAGA signs, flags, and just about any and all paraphernalia letting you know precisely who they are. I would never, ever stop there even if it was the last place on earth to get a cup of coffee. I don't know that you would find MAGA caps in mainstream stores like Target, Penney's, Macy's, etc., although I can't say I have looked around for such things, either. I think it is more likely something you would find in a more conservative state, such as Florida, and especially in tourist areas. I don't know that they are necessarily promoting MAGA, but are probably more interested in making money from many different segments of the tourist population....trying to appeal to everyone. I would be more inclined to shop at the store that had both MAGA and LGBTQ friendly merchandise than one in which only MAGA was available.

Go no further than the vile Scott Bessent and Miss LindsayBelle, and the closeted JD Maybelline.... There is NOTHING I could want that I wouldnt be able to find in another store or online, so my answer would be NO, I would not patronize any business supporting MAGA, unless of course they sold Hot muscle boys with 10" cocks ! Then I might be SWAYED ! 😁
February 1Feb 1 I probably would.. not that I care I'm not American,but at least they are trying to make their country better unlike my downtrodden socialist country Wish Trump was in Australia 🌏

Govt should not be a pot of gold for a singular person, and a network of checks and balances MUST exist against any excesses and overreach. .

Pauline Hanson is gaining popularity in this country of Australia 🦘 The country is going downhill fast with poor / rich divide ,high crime , lacking of housing etc , sorry "it ain't easy under Albanese " and I'm voting him out

No, our leading party just advocates for gun ownership and legal carrying in many states amid an excessive amount of kids being killed in their schools, BUT then says you cant carry a gun, simply because two of their own are being accused of murdering American citizens, one who was a legal gun carrier and had a gun ON his person. They advocate for whatever suits their narrative with NO regard of law of common sense. Legalizing pepper spray is childs play.

The problem is that you cannot deal with an irrational right wing moron, and it's not even worth trying, as the posts just go on and on. I used to think that @Olddaddy was mildly amusing, but not any more, as he has come out in his true colours. The sooner he goes to the USA the better.

Please NO, we have enough of our own home grown PROBLEMS..... But he is WHITE, and a Trump supporter, so he would be welcome with open arms by Trump and MAGA. You can never have too many delusional sycophants supporting your CORRUPTION and living their LIE. .
February 1Feb 1 Author Active Members In the US, Unemployment Insurance lasts only 18 months, I've heard up to 2 years. Of course, Social Security fraud is rampant. You're only supposed to get Social Security Disability benefits if you're unable to do ANY job in the US, yet there are plenty of able-bodied people who manage to get this. But this is usually only on the order of some $2500/month (depending), so not a path to riches.

What am I missing ? Your comments here might make a great MAGA argument. Throw in a few immigrants and its a winner.

Someone pointed out that people in Australia collect unemployment insurance for many years down there. I just wanted to point out that this situation doesn't occur in the US. If you don't find a job within about 18 months, you get nothing.
