The stuff that is heavier than water ends up in the river delta, everything else dilutes into the ocean. Once it's in the ocean, there's not much humans can do about it. Promoting populations of sea grass and filter feeders like mussels can at least capture pollution in a form that settles to the seabed and improves water quality.

There will be pockets of pollution that persist for a long time, and floodwaters could stir some of that back up, but the above poster is correct. Cleaning up a river can be as simple as stopping the sources of the pollution. A dirty river is dirty because stuff keeps getting added to it. Of course stopping sources of pollution is way easier said than done.

Seriously, we shouldn't be feeding any annexation narratives.

They already thought of that. The department of education has already been dismantled. If there are no school nights there's no problem, right?

Detroit essentially exists in both the US and Canada. The Detroit automakers have factories on both sides of the border but within the same region. So a Canada tariff war will always disadvantage them.

That said, the f-150, Ford's most popular vehicle by far, has only 45% US/Canadian origin parts.

On the ranking of vehicle models by how much of the vehicles construction is domestic, Ford's highest entry is #35 with the mustang, the F-150 comes in at #58. The "American auto makers" are all produced in America less than Tesla, Honda, VW, and Toyota. Tariffs can't save American auto makers, because they are less american than their German, and Japanese competitors. Tesla is the only "true American" brand, but they aren't viable as a major auto maker for a variety of reasons.

They can't be directly imaged, but every photo you've ever seen has them.

Is the sales tax in your area 7.5% by any chance?

$16 x (100/107.5)= $14.88

I don't see any gloves priced at 14.88 on their website at a quick check. I wonder if the store is trying to set a price that tallies to an even dollar amount and doesn't know the connotation. I only recently learned about those numbers being associated so I would like to believe a benign explanation. Maybe you could ask to talk to a store manager next time you see it an make sure they know to avoid that price point.

Off topic, but after looking at your profile, I'm disappointed to not see any example photos demonstrating the statement made by your username.

Maybe the non-morons don't make a point of telling you they have an MBA.

The air pressure keeping the sealed bag inflated does help, underfilling does not. If anything, having more room inside the bag leads to more sloshing of the contents. Your example is apples to oranges. Chip bags ship in boxes with other bags of chips, not mixed in with a bunch of clothes or whatever you're packing your chips with.

The giant bag stuffed full of tortilla chips I buy has less breakage than many of the underfilled bags I see, because the boxes don't leave any room for the contents to slosh around.

The extra air is to keep the chips from getting crushed and breaking in transport, and other lies we tell ourselves to not feel the crushing weight of being ripped off at every turn.
