Pennsylvania. My buddy in Dallas told me he paid $4.30 this morning
It was in the 3's last week for both of us

obviously a typo
Whatever can be said about USD and the USG/Fed management of it, it simply outclasses all other alternatives.
The world is NOT de-dollarizing.
I, for one, am SHOCKED to see that China isn't de-dollarizating. I've been told so many times that the dollar is dead.... 🙄

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9
— Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) May 1, 2026
He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee
“In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that… pic.twitter.com/55R9xOoQEZ
Obviously? Really? How come obviously? Maybe it is doctored, sloppily! Maybe it is a forecast. You put up a post showing a source as 2006 and it is the person that is asking about it is being ridiculous? Maybe you got taken by clip bait. Don't tell me - TDS.
Geez, you can be insufferably arrogant.
As for the subject at hand, The dollar remaining stable is a good thing! The last thing any of us want is the dollar to cease being the reserve currency.
If the table is accurate, I am glad to see it.
This is an article, obviously written by an Anti-Trumper, that supports your position. I use it because even though he doesn't agree with Trump's policies, his conclusions on the position of the dollar concur with yours based on data. It is 5 months old. But, the graphs back up your point very well and call out the tariff date. I believe it makes your case stronger for the dollar as he clearly does not agree with Donald but the data is the data.

I have decided to embrace the experience of saving $9 by giving Starbuck's a miss every single day.
"you can be insufferably arrogant."
And yet he would be a runner-up to you in any given pissing contest.

the insufferable arrogance is on the neverTrumper, who insists that everyone and everything is subordinate to their emotional hatred of DJT.

Here you go, some articles on coffee benefits. It does not have to be the good stuff...
The first article is really good for "men of a certain age" (not a shot, but a reality for the over 50 group...)
Interesting was that McCafe and Dunkin had the highest levels to help the men over 50. I use the McCafe. Never been a fan of Dunkin. McCafe either home or stop is much less than 9!

Hey, I supported your argument! I really could give a **** less if Trump is President if he doesn't say off the wall ****, blow up our relationships or the economy.
If the data indicates otherwise to my views I will be the first to post it and say it. I am more interested in the truth than picking winners of losers. See Trump's kids made another billion...

I knew black coffee was good for you but I didn't know it was THAT good. Thanks for sharing
I dumped the Keurig recently and opted for the Frenchpress. More work but don't have to worry about the microplastics

Big fan of Nespresso. Idiot proof. Pods delivered to your door (even Bangkok). 49 cents per mug or double espresso . I do that when not at my cafe next to my building. Outside for a nice cigar and all matter of tricked up coffee. Way tricked up coffee $1.50 Coffee Culture huge here.
I did the same. My wife has an electric tea kettle that heats water to 205 in a minute. I use that and the French Press.
Key to happiness after 50, keep the estrogen down. Cruciferous Veggies and Coffee...
you boys with the French Press have more patience than me.

I go for a pour over most days. French press mostly sits in the cabinet. Nice to see that my doctor was right when he said coffee is good for me! I need to buy a serious coffee grinder.
I do intermittent fasting… And coffee in the morning is a must have.

Risks Associated with Stablecoin
- Reserve Risks: Concerns regarding the transparency and quality of assets backing the stablecoin.
- Run Risk: Risk that many holders redeem at once, causing liquidity issues for the issuer.
- Regulatory Risk: Evolving legal frameworks (e.g., GENIUS Act) could disrupt operations.
- De-pegging: The risk that a stablecoin loses its 1:1 value with its target asset during market stress. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

the question is not whether Spirit Airlines survives or not as an entity. They question is what happens their fleet (125 aircraft) and pilots (500). They are part of national airlift capacity, which is a core national security concern. If we have to rapidly deploy armies anywhere in the world, to include within our own territory, it takes airlift capacity to get the soldiers there. If USG cannot arrange some kind of viable bailout, then they have to make sure as many as possible of those pilots and airframes are absorbed by other carriers.
Same applies to the cruise line companies, commercial shipping companies, rail lines, etc......all core logistics in national mobilization for war, for which we must always be prepared. In most cases, it's cheaper to retain such capacities than to rebuild them.
Really, this guy...
This is your source that Trump's policies are working? Come on, at least try and be a little objective. Did you get your Trump Hormone Shot today so you are feeling extra 'Trumpy"?

I see a merger in our future...
A Government sponsored, tax break merger...
Maybe even a resurrection of Trump Airlines, as a premium service to EL AL run by CPT Donald Jr?
