A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

Some lawyer should figure out a 14th Amendment argument to remove from office or terminate from federal employment anyone who refuses to state that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Doesn't matter if it's cogent or valid, it's just something from the new 10,000 member Supreme Court to rubber stamp.
