“The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.” - George Carlin

"Politicians have been proving Carlin right for decades. The GOP and the second Trump Administration seem bent on doing what they’ve always done, sometimes even turning the American Dream into the American Nightmare. Taxes are a major contributor, especially the billions upon billions that the rich and corporations don’t pay. Trump and his fellow Republicans are committed to keeping it that way — and, if their slim Congressional majorities can stick together, to do even more for those who need it the least. As one small example, the overall corporate tax rate could drop to 20%; domestic manufacturers could do even better, ending up with an effective corporate rate of 15%. The federal tax code is famous (and infamous) for its huge handouts to those with the highest incomes, the most egregious being the cap on Social Security taxes."

Ten keyboards in a box. $60 for each keyboard ... whatever it is
- No guarantee what you'll get: foam-and-foil, Alps or maybe one of the rubber domes, perhaps.
- No guarantee that more than two keyboards will have a complete keycap set.
- No guarantee that any keyboard will work.

Not worth it ...

... But do make a note of the seller, and check back in a month or two to see if he has lowered the asking price.

On the plus side, just the mention of Wangs presents opportunities for "wang" jokes, so that's good.
