    None of it should factor. At all.

    The distinction between the candidates was clear enough:

    1. I will lower your taxes (for billionaires), I don’t like immigrants, and I will say all the stuff you think and the lefties made it bad to say. Also if I don’t win I’m going to jail because, for enough money I will do whatever you want (for Russia, Elon, or anyone else).

    2. I am an actual qualified candidate.

    There was no choice. It was taxes and fear and tribalism with a special sprinkle of election interference attempts around the horn.

    She was appointed? So what? Elect her because she’s a better choice, then fix that problem.


















  • Expensive is pretty subjective. Anything less than about $200 no discussion required. Above that, we usually have a courtesy conversation. We’ve never had a hard no spending if one of us really wants or needs something, but a required justification or notice prevents impulse buys.

    Joint also doesn’t mean you can’t have an account (or a bucket or a tally) where you save for something you want, it just means it’s not a secret.
