You need to switch to Wegmans and register for their “insider” program. You get free shit. My trade deficit with them is now down to $600 per month.

Another day, and more winning! Reminds me of the good ol’ days when my Detroit Lions went 0-16. Former glory is being restored!

You are just mad because you wanted them to call it “Stigler Strip” and “Friedman Fries.” (“Official Meal of the UChicago Econ Seminar Room.”)

I suppose it is a bad time to apply for a federal grant to support the work we are trying to stimulate on the history of blacks in American economics, eh?
