I can remember the days when fish sticks actually looked and tasted
like
fish rather than being mostly breading.  I grew up eating fish sticks.
They were a regular after school snack when I was a teen, to tide me
over until dinner since I didn't bother to eat lunch at school.

I always liked Gorton's Fish Sticks and they are still on the grocery
shelves where I live.  Have you tried a different brand?  I don't come
on here complaining about Banquet frozen dinners.

Gorton's are terrible.

Mrs. Paul's brand are no better.  I haven't found a good brand of fish
sticks in ages.  Nor Banquet frozen dinners, since Mandrake decided to
bring those up.  I can't think of a single Banquet frozen dinner I've
looked for since... I don't remember when.

Long ago, last one I bought was mostly some gravy inside the crust.
Maybe a pea or two and a few tiny bits of carrot.  But mostly gravy, and
not even good gravy.

  Welp, Sire Hank, to alleviate that "Pot Pie Sorrow", treat yerself to
some new electronics... better than PUSSY even...!!!
 https://www.nationalreview.com/news/trump-administration-exempts-phones-computers-from-reciprocal-tariffs/    Trump Administration Exempts Phones, Computers from Reciprocal Tariffs
 "The Trump administration is exempting phones, computers, and other
electronics from its tariffs on China and other nations...
 U.S. Customs and Border Protection shared a notice late Friday listing
20 products that are excluded from Trump’s 145 percent tariffs on China
and 10 percent minimum tariffs on foreign imports. Phones, computers,
chips, routers, and semiconductor chips are some of the products on the
list...
 The exemption will benefit consumers who were potentially facing higher
prices on iPhones and many other everyday electronics because of Trump’s
tariffs on China. It will also benefit companies including Apple and
semiconductor chip maker Nvidia, two of America’s largest corporations
by market capitalization..."
 

Who cares?  That's today. Our dictator could change his mind by tomorrow. Somebody could flatter, or bribe him easily, or he could simply get pissed about some minor thing (like the name of something). Who knows how to predict a narcissistic psychopath's actions?
