Although the only correct answer is a ~98% decline, as a lover of math stupidity, even under Trump's 'Lewis Carroll' math, wouldn't a reduction to 1/60th of the former price be a 6000% reduction, wouldn't it? Asking for Humpty
Okay now I’m mad about men in women’s sports
Trump and his Texas yahoos came gunning for the king ...the free election. Virginia, like Caliifornia, shows they missed.
The only king in America is the free election. By messing with the Texas districts, Trump came for the king. Virginia is the latest to Tell Trump he missed.

Come to America, get fleeced then ICEd. An experience you'll never forget.
Jeanine really, really, really wants that AG nomination. Renfield had more dignity.
Not seeing why a temporary subsidy in response to an unanticipated shock is, per se, bad economics. As long as it isn't affecting marginal decision making, or creating a repeated game, it simply smooths a bump for those locked into prior decisions.
