Waddingtons has the Monopoly on real estate board games.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

As long as the Russians dominate chess, they pretty much monopolize real estate board games.

Dude.
I live beating the big guys.

But do you have the super fly commercial?

I bow to superior talent.

If I were you, I'd hire a dude to write a country jingle about how the woman ran off with his stuff, and he had to replace it all, and was hooked up at Moore's Furniture, and now he has a dog and everything is alright.

Tis unfortunate that we make money on divorces.

We have a guy on staff that has worked for us for 30+ years that is basically you. (Military, bad divorce, courts screwed out of kids, maga/mra)

For those interested in research:

https://tomwoods.com/ep-1121-the-mundan ... trust-act/
Here’s how we learn about so-called landmark legislation in school: your wise public servants identified a problem, and then put their heads together in a disinterested, dispassionate way to solve it, and improve life for everyone.

In fact, the real roots of legislation often turn out to be far more mundane. The Sherman Antitrust Act, as Patrick Newman explains, is one such example.
Oh, you thought antitrust was some kind of benevolent masterplan handed down to us from the state?
