The franchise sets the food prices on both sides too so they can precisely control profitability.

Israel sees massive inflation from war time spending. The US will stabilize their currency by discretely buying and selling their currency. They will incentivize the private sector to do direct foreign investment. The US will see another inflation event towards the end of the year.

The police said that it was likely a serial rapist that was breaking into homes. Luckily everyone was home at the time. He creeped in and peeked through my roommates door. My roommate thought it was me sleepwalking and walked over and he slammed the door closed. When my roommate realized it wasn't me, he did a loud shout and a few seconds later I hear a loud thud. I get out the bedroom door to see my roommate bleeding from the head. He was injured in the scuffle but the guy ran off. I ended up leaving the state a few weeks later because it was too hard to feel safe. This was in Norfolk Virginia.

Thanks for asking, that means a lot to me.

I was home invaded. Shit happens so fast that if you left the moment to go get a gun then you're fucked. That fantasy only applied to people with big houses and boring lives.

She used an example of socialism to describe the success of capitalism. The initial penicillin trials were funded by government and charitable sources, not private capital.

Isn't this the definition of a 'systemic problem'.
