Another things that sucks with search engines these days:

Try searching for information on a subject that has been in the news recently (not info about news event), and all you get is current blogs and news articles from today and yesterday..

Could have had the parent in the comic been the dad and start the comic off "Hi Bob, this your son's school... " implying that the dad is the original Bobby Tables

This was a deal originally proposed by Zelensky to Biden administration. The deal was put on hold when Trump was elected so Ukraine could negotiate with the Trump administration before agreeing to the deal.

Then Trump came in, asked for too much, tried to bully Zelensky, and the deal fell through.

I think you can make a very good argument that the Smoot Hawley tarrifs were the main cause of Great Depression

There is good economic theory that Smoot Hawley actually was responsible for the initial bank failures that led to the Great Depression.

I've had my Google Voice number since 2005 when it was originally called GrandCentral.

I don't think there is any place I could port my number that would let me keep service for free.

And I have never found a reasonably price alternative that doesn't seem sketchy or gimmicky or built just for business, that also seems like it will be around in another 10 years.

Any ideas?
