Top Value Stamps - Trading stamps - 1950
  • Here's my standard gift suggestion.

    Get a drawstring purse [the kind Conan or Robin Hood would carry] Fill it with gold colored coins. In the US and Canada there are gold dollar [$2.00 in the Great White North]

    Throw that thing down on the bar and say 'A flagon of mead for my men!'

  • Always loved cigarette branding. Marlboro went from a woman's cigarette to a manly man's smoke without missing a beat.

    In the USA, Benson and Hedges played off being a 'sophisticated' product that wouldn't stoop to cheap give-aways.

  • Stay Mad, Tankies
  • Or, people could look at the situation as it is.

    Trump and his MAGoos are going to do everything they can to take as many rights away from people as they can.

    In the real world of 2024, the only option is Joe Biden.

    There's no magical super candidate that's going to pop up between now and November.

    With the latest Supreme Court decision, re-elected President Trump could deputize 5 million of his followers on Inauguration Day.

    You don't have to love Joe Biden, or even like him. Just realize that Trump is for full on fascist takeover of the US and Biden isn't.

  • It was locked in. You couldn't use 'green stamps' at a Top Value redemption center, any more than you can use a McDonald's gift certificate at Starbucks.

    There were a lot more independent supermarkets back in the day. They might or might not give out stamps.

    Another, similar redemption trick was with cigarettes. You'd get one 'ticket' per pack, and extras if you got a whole carton. Marlboro was doing this well into the 1990s.

  • The only way to change the conditions of the test is to get out and support Left-leaning Dems in primaries.

    And no, not all choices are valid. Voting doesn't just affect the voter, it affects the whole country.

  • IRS criticized for taking nearly 2 years to help ID theft victims get their refunds
  • Totally related to the issue.

    The issue is that the IRS is underfunded because big GOP contributors don't want to have to go toe to toe with an agency that can make them pay taxes.

    That's why Trump got a surge of money after his New York City trial lose; rich folks hate the idea that the law might be used against them.

  • I want to survive the apocalypse – but not if it’s just me and some terrible billionaires
  • Read an interview with a bank robber once.

    He said that there are a million things that can go wrong in a bank robbery, and if you're a genius you can predict 100.

    Any survival strategy is going to fail because no one will know exactly what's coming down the road.

  • NJ Does Not Renew Trump's Liquor Licenses At 2 Golf Clubs After Felony Conviction
  • Nancy Reagan was personally soft on abortion, but she knew it played to the base, so she was gung ho to overturn Roe V. Wade. That was until she found out stem cells might be able to help Ronnie's dementia, then she was all for using corpses to make medicine.

  • My name is graphito and I'm a conclusion shopaholic
  • The one I mentioned is a 2010 series from the BBC I just saw on BritBox streaming service.

    I saw that one after I saw the 2016 version with Elijah Wood.

    So the older version was 'new' to me.

    Sorry for any confusion.
