True, but for our family Xmas isn't totally over yet.

Garak will try to eliminate all carts, for the safety of the alpha quadrant cars.

Also he will arrest Jake and Nog and drag them into detention for Nog's quarter scheme. Quark will feign being outraged but then will insist he be included next time so he can teach Nog how to not get caught.

We always get stuff for the kids and the nieces/nephews, and our moms. But we haven't gotten a gift for each other in years now. We both buy something if we want it bad enough throughout the year, and it's both of our money anyway, so what's the point? We will some years get a "household gift" that's something we need or everyone can benefit from, that shouldn't go to just one kid or "you two share this and try not to fight over it, or that they will care less about. Nice air fryer one year, Nintendo switch another, etc. But nothing really needed or wanted this year so we'll probably just take a pass.

Both actually. I swing wildly back and forth.

Being Japan, the plants might stitch it together for an extra 5 years.

Well yes, you are correct in that at points in the past he wanted to. But I honestly felt that in 2020, he either thought his time for it had passed, or he wasn't confident he was the best candidate to win. He mulled running for quite a while, and only really entered definitely when it was obvious there was really no other choice left for the DNC. But for a long time (too long really) nobody was even sure that he would run.

Not surprising, this is pretty much why he ran 4 years ago. He never wanted to be president, but his party had literally nobody (whom they would allow) that could step up and be a real contender.

If $1 then is now equivalent to $21.77, then that $0.25 minimum wage then would today only be $5.44 (25% of $21.77). $7.25 represents 133% more purchasing power.
