Yeah, but a good time to buy ketchup stocks. Demand is soaring.

22.10.2025 21:18 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0In the Roman Republic, SPQR meant “The Senate and People of Rome.” All power was considered to be derived from the people. Although Rome had a president-like consul, the republic diluted their power by always having two (checking each other) and they served only one year.
20.10.2025 14:49 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0res publica is the Latin root of “republic” meaning “public affair” or “for the people.” The most essential characteristic of a republic is liberty — freedom from arbitrary control of concentrated power. Remember this the next time MAGA autocrats claim we’re a republic — not if they get their way.

After years of pretending not to be from Illinois due to the line of politicians going straight to the pokey after office, I can finally be proud of my home state and President Pritzker.
