In 2016 it was the other way around, a lot of closeted people swung the vote. Thanks Hilary.

Per Debretts, it has been this way since at least the 1700s, not an “American” thing as you suggest. I’m starting to think this is just another social issue used to divide America, ie propaganda used to control people. And if it is purely preference in etiquette, what are you complaining about? The person sending the letter are allowed to exercise their etiquette preferences as well, right? Or do you also want to control people? Is this all just the fascists on the right vs the facisists on the left? This is how people like Trump rise to populisim, and how freedom and democracy die.

Absolutely disgusting rhetoric you are pushing. My wife is my partner, and vice versa. The prefix works in both directions, with either my surname or my wife’s surname, or even my wife’s maiden name. You are whitewashing slavery with you comment and should be ashamed of yourself!

Absolutely wrong, this is how the language works. I am my wife’s Mr as well, even with her maiden name.

Absolutely not, it applies in either direction, universally. I am Mr (wife) (wife’s maiden name), this is how the language works. Why is this offensive to YOU?

Yes, it is actually!

Suckers, all around

It is the most correct way. Even if she didn’t take your name, and even if your not married, she is your Mrs. Not sure why this would be infuriating, it’s the language.

Edit: honesty, the replies below are sexist and masogonistic. Yes, the women that you married is your Mrs, it’s the definition of the word. And likewise the man that you married is your Mr, for the same reason. It does not matter whether either party changes their name, it applies either way.

To suggest that marriage is ownership rather than partnership is disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Did slaves get referred to as Mrs. (slave owner)? No, they did not. Your suggestion is entirely inappropriate, and takes away from the reality that slaves had to live with. Disgusting misappropriation!

Grow up people, you can’t change the language to reflect your personal biases, insecurities and misunderstandings.

Trump/Pence did nothing more than ride the Obama/Biden economic trajectory, until they bungled their Covid response and crashed the economy, then printed and gave away so much money that inflation ran out of control.

It is a wealth transfer, from the middle class to the wealthy

I read MAGA hack, and didn’t blink an eye

It’s a veiled threat of a hostile takeover

You stop allowing the lies and disinformation to spread, that’s how!

Bingo!

And their deputies, of course. Whoever they choose to deputize.

OK, I read it, same as you because you just listed the only 3 things on the list, and then you embellished the employee abuse as sexual although there are no accusations, and embellished the epstein child raping thing as there is no implications there either. Epstein was extremely politically connected, I hate it too but his circles were huge and not entirely centered around the south Florida human Trafficking between Maralago and his island at a minimum.

But OK, gates is just as bad as Trump and musk

Top ten Gates “evils”? Just curious 🍿

Well yeah, if your taking on an EV conversion project get ready to spend $20-30K in parts and at that point your donor should be selected carefully, and with a manual transmission. This is serious hot-rodding, no need for regulations.

I don’t know of any regulations against one’s ability to convert a gas car to electric. In my state, there is no emissions testing even, but I don’t know how it’s anyone else’s buissness what you do with your drivetrain, as long as it’s not polluting (sound or environment)

Of course it’s possible, electric conversion kits have been around for decades, and only work with manual transmissions. We just need the battery and charging tech applied to conversion kits. Who wants to start up an EV conversion kit company with me?
