   I am not just talking about medical insurance. Years ago when my homeowners insurance went up I called to asked why — they said because they had suffered heavy losses in the Florida hurricane (I forgot which one) and they had to pass on the cost to their insurees — yeah like that is my fault when I live 1200 miles from their problem. Wait and see what happens after these fires in California — everyone will end up paying more to cover the insurance companies losses. Why do I have to carry the burden when it’s not my problem?

   Insurance companies are the biggest scams in America.

   Or by some runaway American dream.

   There were no commercials — it was broadcast in its entirety — start to finish. Many people killed themselves over it.

   Green tomatoes gasses in order to turn them red — hard and tasteless.

   Why would China care? The United States is already their number one customer. Annexing Mexico and Canada just means giving them an even bigger shopping mall to sell their stuff. Think about it—more Walmart shelves to fill, more Apple Stores to stock, and an endless parade of Amazon delivery trucks bringing us all the wonderful things stamped “Made in China.” It’s a win-win for everyone, especially for us, the happy consumers who can’t resist a great deal on a big-screen TV or the latest iPhone.

   If anything, this would eliminate trade wars entirely. Why fight over tariffs when we could all just sit around the global dinner table as one big, happy, buying family? Picture it: Uncle Sam with his credit card, our Canadian friend paying in loonies, and our Mexican buddy pitching in pesos, all under one roof, buying Chinese goods in perfect harmony. The slogan writes itself—“One World, One Customer, Made in China. Free shipping with Prime.”

   Who needs geopolitical tension when you’ve got low prices, next-day delivery, and an endless supply of stuff?

   Manifest Destiny 2.0: The Great American Merger Plan

   Let’s just say, for the sake of discussion, the United States decides to annex Mexico and Canada. Boom—problem solved! Suddenly, every illegal immigrant from Mexico becomes an American citizen overnight. No more debates about visas or asylum processes; they’re just Americans now. Congratulations, everyone! You win by default.

   And hey, who needs a border wall when there are no borders? We save billions of dollars instantly. Those funds can be redirected to other pressing national priorities, like repairing potholes or commissioning another Fast and Furious movie. Heck, we could even use that cash to throw a nationwide barbecue welcoming our new neighbors. Sorry—our new fellow Americans.

   For those concerned about border protection, don’t worry: we can still post a couple of mall cops at the Panama Canal, just in case anyone tries to sneak in from South America. But beyond that? Easy street.

   Canada joining in is just the maple syrup on top. Now we’ll have all the free healthcare we’ve always envied, plus an endless supply of Tim Hortons. Sure, the cold winters might scare a few Floridians, but that’s what Arizona is for. Besides, we could finally put “eh?” at the end of sentences and make it official.

   With one stroke of a pen, we’ve solved illegal immigration, national security, and a host of cultural divides. What could go wrong? (Other than having to learn Spanish and French on top of English—but hey, that’s the price of greatness.)

   So let’s raise a Budweiser, a margarita, and a Molson in toast to the United States of North America: land of the free, home of the brave, and now 100% wall-free.

   I think it is great that the Dinette Set is giving a nod to Paul Stookeym of Peter, Paul, and Mary, who just passed away a few days ago. Where have all the flowers gone?

    Here’s a trick — you never go bankrupt as long as you are the banker — and have sticky fingers — ha.
