That passing a course in American history isn't mandatory is a shame. So many people have ZERO knowledge of their own nations history that it's truly an embarrassment.
It was a mandatory class in 1965, when I was a junior. American history was also a required class in our eighth grade, which rather ironically was taught by a recent immigrant from South Korea. He did a good job of teaching the class, and providing a view into the Korean educational system.
The reason Americans are so unaware of their history is the mandatory American history classes.
@@stanwbaker I could not have stated it better. Most classes I ever took in the US on US history were little more than a whitewash of the actual history of the country, but I'll not pretend that much the same thing doesn't take place in other countries.
Look at OR ... you don't even have to pass MATH to graduate from high school. Remind to never hire an engineer from OR.
@@graceamerican3558 I was in Portland a while back, and I asked a local to do a math problem for me. I believe it was 2 + 2. He woke from his stupor and excitedly ran into his tent and returned with 4 heroin syringes. 2 used, and 2 unused. He showed them to me and said he has 4 syringes. They understand some math, but just differently than the rest of us. We all apply what we know to our priorities. For us it might be designing a spacecraft, but for someone in Portland, they only need to be able to keep track of how many clean needles they have. In a sense they know all the math they need to in order to live in that city in its current state. The problem, as you say, is when they try to function outside the hereon camps. Nobody will hire them no matter how well their needles are organized.
I’ve battled PTSD since 2017. Thank you so much for your channel. I’m a huge history nut. When my days aren’t going as planned, I find one of your videos and feel relaxed, even if it’s for only 10-15 minutes, it was worth it. Your calming voice and perfect narration just goes together. Every night when I lay down, I find one of your videos and just close my eyes. Your doing much more than just teaching history, your changing lives…. Keep doing what you do. God bless!!!!!
Many people made Paul Harvey part of their daily routine too. And I know just what you mean. THG is part of my day as well.
If I may suggest for relaxing, videos of painter Bob Ross. All of his shows are on RUclips, and his mellow, soothing voice is very relaxing. You don't get the history lesson, but there's a pretty picture at the end. God bless you, as well.
You need to listen to art bell midnight in the desert. I am an ex cop ,suffer badly from PTSD. Art Bell is a sure fix
@Dustin gray
"Calming voice"??? THG has one of the most harsh, shrill voices I've ever heard. I love the content but cannot stand his voice, and have often wondered if his natural voice is much slower, more relaxed (like his son's) and he simply records himself and speeds it up by 25% or so. Seriously, how can you not hear this?? "Calming"? More like "cacophony".
@@lisahinton9682 I guess depending on what environments and situations a person is use to would make the definition “calmness different for every individual.
Had no idea that there were other tea parties besides Boston. This is something.
We in other ports know it, if we were paying attention when we were kids in the Bicentennial.
I never realized that there was more than a singular "tea party". The more you learn the more you come to realize that the watered down version of history that we are fed in school isn't entirely accurate. Thanks THG.
To be fair there is just a limited amount of time. But I agree public education is lacking these days.
Yeah, the history gets as watered down as the tea
Teachers are very important people! We would do well to appreciate them; and keep them out from under the yoke of government and union oversight. Get to know your local teachers and support your local schools. That is the thing to do to insure quality education.
Like Steve D. I was unaware of any other tea parties. Also I was unaware of the tax shenanigans about the East India Company, and if anyone had asked me before, I’d have said that it was a straight on the colonies to pay for the French and Indian War.
Yup,and some of it is straight up lies!
I'm convinced the future will look back on these times with a keen sense of heartburn...
"An oblation to Neptune": how about that old newspaper rhetoric? I love it!
One of Will Rogers’ observations was, “If they thought that taxation without representation was bad, they oughta see it WITH representation!”

We still have government without representation. We have government for sale to the highest bidder....

I recall what Don Corleone said in the Godfather: “We have the best senators that money can buy.”
An acquaintance of mine from years ago, was a representative in our state legislature. At a Rotary lunch, he was casually asked if he was an honest politician. He leaned back a bit, and said, “Do you know what an honest politician is? He’s one that - once he’s bought - he STAYS bought.” And then he reached for a second piece of fried chicken.

He said that about a hundred years ago.

And it still seems pertinent. Will Rogers could state a non compliment to a politician as a humorous story. And the politician would laugh at the story. Probably only later, did they realize that Rogers had deftly slid the knife in between their ribs, so to speak. But because of his easy smile and humorous delivery, they still liked him. Interesting personage.

@@jackvoss175 Will Rogers can also be credited with that quote. "Congressmen, are the best people money can buy."
Every memorial day weekend in Chestertown Maryland they re-enact the tea party that took place in that small river town in May of 1774. The festival is complete with a tribute to the people from that era and they do indeed use local Skipjacks and the towns own hand made ship the Sultana during the festivities. Love your channel. Thank you THG!
What exactly do they do?
LOL, I'm drinking coffee while learning about The tea party.😁
@@Lady_Chalk They reenact the Tea party, board ships and throw the cargo (tea) into the Chester River. But the entire weekend is dedicated as the festival goes on.
Now that's cool - keeping history in the public eye while doing it.
While the local sons of Liberty did pass a resolution in Chestertown making tea illegal there is no contemporary record of a Tea Party where residents threw any tea overboard
Wasn’t till the end of 1899 that the story appeared in a book written by Fred Uslton, no evidence given to back it up
50 years later his son retold the story again with nothing to back it up
In the late 60s the town started to celebrate it, by the bicentennial it got to be a pretty big two day event
I remember on Saturday night with bands and a beer truck things got pretty raucous…in the early 90s went back to a one day event.
I used to set up at it doing blacksmith work and selling stuff
Enjoyed it and sold very well.
I don’t think Chestertown ever really had a Tea Party , was something made up to promote the town
I live in the area of Greenwich, NJ and actually lived on "Ye Greate Street" in Greenwich for a couple of years. There is a monument there for the Tea Burners.
I was wondering if he was gunna mention NJ’s tea party. Allegedly my mother is related to one of the participants
I live in South Jersey, and never had heard of the Grenwitch tea party but have been to the Hancock house where several Patriots were killed by loyalists from Philadelphia.
Do you guys pronounce it "ye" or "the"
You live in Greenwich Twp of Warren County NJ?
No I bet not Warren cty .

Mary Blount of the Edenton Tea Party was my 5th Great Grand-Aunt. Her nephew, William Blount signed the Constitution from North Carolina, was the first governor of Tennessee, and later a US Senator from Tennessee. He was the first federal official to face impeachment and was removed from the Senate.
FWIW - Edenton is pronounced like the garden of Eden.
According to an article in a paper based on his memoir, my 4th great grandfather William Tuffs, took part in a Tea Party in Massachusetts, he also fought in the revolutionary war. He would have been 23 years old in 1773.
WOW, not only did this video teach me about all the other "tea parties", I now better understand what was behind the infamous Boston tea party.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
― Samuel Adams
And now he's only remembered for Boston Lager. Come to think of it, Boston Lager sure beats tea.
he was a piece of work, and according to one historian, caused the revolultion to happen, because congress didnt want to go to war, so he maniupalted and caused the "massacre', and also caused the concorde fight, interesting read. The depressing part of it, is that my ancestor paul revere seems to have been part of the mischief. Journals from soldiers in both the british army and continenatl armies that were at concorde talk about how noone started the initial shots, that caused the battle, it came from the area of a taven, a taven that alexander hamilton has left recently, but his guys, paul revere and some of adam's guys, were there at the time. Btw, the reason the british marched on concorde was that they "someone" were given information that the colonists were stashing a great amount of weapons there, so adams set them up to show up there, told the continentals they were coming so that they showed up, and fired upon the british.
Adams was also knowns to get mobs drunk and send them after opponents of his, like he did a particular lawyer, who had to flee with his family after a drunk mob attacked his house. The massacre that happened, adams got a mob drunk on free beer and sent them to antagonize the british soldiers guarding a building. a mob of them started heckling about 4 soldiers, and finally started attacking the soldiers and hitting them, and the soldiers then fired.
Would love to see a THG on tarring and feathering.
You got your wish! 👍
I had never heard of this. In school (many years ago) it was only the Boston Tea Party that was known. Thank you History Guy.
You would never know that about 250 years ago that England and what is now America went to war against one another. That’s the happiest ending to all bloodshed it took to get there. I would love to read an English historical account of what we call, “The American Revolution”. I LOVED this video. These other tea parties do deserve to be remembered. It was the united front that got the message across- not just one big tea party- but many of them. It was history I didn’t know until today. Thank you, THG!
It's a shame how much history that we're not taught in schools. I learned a lot from this video and now Penelope Barker is one of my new revolutionary heroes!
Happy to see ours covered as an Edentonian, we're very proud of that history and have a statue in the town (of a teapot) commemorating our lesser known tea party and it has even become our county symbol. But just as a side note, we don't pronounce the town as Ed-un-ton, we say Ee-den-ton, but it's understandable, since you're an outsider
Happy to see a fellow Edentonian here.
He’s American
I really wish history taught in school was this specific. When we learned about the Boston tea party (and that was a few times), it’s always framed as it being the sole spark. But obviously now I know that colonists were doing this all over! That part about the women signing their real names was very interesting!
Appropriately, this is one of my favorite shows to watch while relaxing with a caffeinated beverage and a snack. Thank you THG! Keep up the good work. This channel is one of the best on RUclips.
Well done, sir! As always, as a fellow historian, I am most impressed by your thoroughness, and the way you concisely distill down numerous elements of a story, then narrate the entirety.
"I hadn't realised..." should be translated into Latin and added to the crest of the USA Dept of Education.
Hmph when Jemmie Cahter created the Dept of Education and funded it w/ Government money...my Grandpa wept.
Turns out Iowa is one of the only states with comprehensive records of testing etc before and after the dept of education, and test scores were steadily increasing until the dept of education, and has been in downfall ever since.
I'm no Latin scholar, but Google translate likes: "ego nesciebam sed tamen docui." [I didn't know but still I taught.]
Oh how great it would be if Americans still had the same zeal for liberty and the fortitude to stand against tyranny.
The Intolerable Acts... I know of one NOW.
I would like to thank you for your many and varied stories. Being a bit of a history buff myself, I especially enjoy them. But what you may or may not realize is you're kind of contributions to society have helped a lot of us get through the covid-19 business with part of our sanity still intact. Thank you
Yet another 15 minutes of time VERY well spent! I wish more people had the passion for history as you do. To you , the Mrs. and all involved.... Keep up the great works!
Wow, I am always amazed at how much I learn about history. I would have loved to have had THG as my history teacher.
You can predict the future by KNOWING history.
History does not repeat, but it does tend to rhyme...
@@freesk8 Um, historically speaking and passed down is Cain killing Able. A person (human race) wrote down a law that said "don't kill"... and we have trillions of documents/law since collectively and yet we can't follow 1....
The human race continues to do what it has always done... the way it is and the way it will be.
Not sure about that.
But, I can predict the past.
@@craigkdillon Unless the records of the past have been sent down the memory hole...
@@freesk8 That's even better. I get to remember the past any way I want, since no one can say I am wrong.
I have heard that at one point it was illegal to make shovels in the Colonies. The British wanted them to buy shovels made in England, so they could be taxed. I wonder how many blacksmiths turned from making horse shoes to shovel heads?
reminds me of 3d printers and how there is starting to be an underground of manufacturing...stuff via printer due to the big brother machinations of government.
Thank you THG. Another lesson taught, another bit of history learned. You should be a history professor!
Who knew there were so many ? Thanks History Guy.
Ebeneezer McIntosh a Boston shoe maker was the head of The Sons of Liberty the British tried to find the leader but he moved way up the Merrimack River in New Hampshire .
As always love that you are adding coloring to the picture of history-making that portrait more three dimensional. Often our understanding is the flat, condensed, written in elementary school words so kids can read it, versions from textbooks. Of course, what we paid attention to as children was also making the picture spotty. Thank you for making interesting and continuing history education content. Keeps our brains on learning mode!
As an American History teacher, I’m upset that I too did not know of another other tea protest. Thank you so much. I love listening to your stories that shaped us!
The British couldn't close all ports as I understand they did with Boston.
I had not realized it was such an effective widespread boycott, now I can see why it's gotten into the history books. Thanks.
In school I only learned about the Boston Tea Party.
In the film Mary Poppins, Mr. Banks says a line about the Boston Tea Party, which goes something like this: Which made the tea unsuitable for drinking, even for Americans.
And from King George III from Hamilton: You cry in your tea that you hurl in the sea when you see me go by.
Going on board ships and seizing all that tea is kind of like an act of piracy. And, as we all know, all good stories involve pirates.😉
OMG, I live a town over from Edenton North Carolina called Hertford, I had no idea, I had absolutely no idea,... that Penelope Barker started an uprising over Tea,... this is fantastic, God, bless you Sir for everything you do.
So, is this why my Earl Grey tea is sometimes hard to find? It also raises another question, do fish like tea?
The Caffeine gets fish going just like it does you.
Probably not; caffeine is an alkaloid chemically manufactured by the coffee plant, and most such organic alkaloids serve to discourage predation by birds, animals or insects, or act as an antifungal or antimicrobial. For instance, we now manufacture nicotine-related pesticides (likely at least partly responsible for beehive desertion or mass colony death); and gardeners warn against using too much coffee grounds as garden compost. My nephew just graduated from college with a degree in aquaculture; and, he keeps tropical fish, so I'll have to ask him.
Maybe I'm just hangry, but this was a dizzying set of details I couldn't quite wrap my head around.
Again I ask, why weren't we taught any of this in school? I never knew about any of the other tea parties. The women of Edmonton were truly courageous in signing their names. To their memories I salute them w/my mug of tea! THG I thank you & also salute you.
They like to deny great American history like this.
I was glad to see Greenwich mentioned as well having grown up near there. A piece of admittedly 'here-say' trivia related to the Boston Tea Party. I work with an 'Adams' for three years and over time learned he was a descendant of Samuel Adams. Curious i asked if there were family stories from this era, and he shared the story that one night John Adams and his buddies were sitting in the bar writing a letter to the king about the issue when Sam told them they needed to do more than just keep sending letters. When asked what he meant, He said i'll show you, and him and his buddies dressed up as Indians and the rest is history!
I think it's "hearsay" rather than "here-say"
Excellent video, History Guy!
This is great ! Thank you History Guy.
Another great show.
I learned 25 years ago that my Colonial ancestors played a significant role in the formation of our country and government. William Stone was Governor of Maryland. Thomas Stone signed the Declaration Of Independence. 📜 Hard for me to wrap my head around it all.
I absolutely love the episodes like this that explain little known portions of very important parts of this country's founding.... Keep up the amazing job!
I have followed THG for a long time. At some point I began to hit the "Like" button before "Play" so I didn't forget.
Always a good video from you. I've been enjoying the podcasts too. I listen them when I drive to work and all.
"...Jonah...": I do so enjoy quotations from newspaper articles from era that up through the early twentieth century. The writing style had so much intellectual appeal and humor.
I won't pretend I haven't noticed how timely your videos are. Without being overtly political, you always seem to produce videos that arrive right on time. Of course, maybe that's just the bias of anyone who keeps an eye on the past and one on the present.
Very timely! You read my mind.
indeed , refreshingly timely
I was thinking the same. TEA - it's not just tea anymore.
You have to be one of the best narrated and informative history sites on not only “you tube”but the entire internet. Never boring. Always factual. Easy to learn and listen. So pleased I subscribed to your site.
Thank you for this. We need to remember.
When I was in school I was only taught about the Boston tea party and didn't know the rest of the story till now. Thank you. Also I want you to know that you have inspired me. I'm not very technological savvy, but I have gotten a new smartphone with a great camera to start my own RUclips channel dedicated to history. I want to concentrate my efforts on more localized events that most likely aren't in any history books to my knowledge. I'm still in the learning process trying to get my head right on the most effective way of doing the videos and how to edit the content.
I wish you much luck and success. See if there is an historical society in your area.
@@graceamerican3558 If there is not one, advertise on Facebook or your local online community bulletin board you wish to start one. We need accurate histories, starting at the local level, complete with moments of glory and moments of shame. Good Luck!
@@graceamerican3558 my dad was civil war buff and he showed me many bronze signs that have tidbits of local things that happened. And they aren't just about the civil war. My sister looked it up and there are maps showing where they are and they are also numbered. And they are in every state
@@dannytravis7118 Road side signs. I love those. Some at least in my area have family histories on them.
Thank you, thank you for shining a light on these! Speaking as a southerner, so many seem to believe the southern colonies were drug into the Revolution kicking and screaming, when in fact Patriotic fever was high (see Christopher Gadsden, Henry Lauren's, William Moultrie, and John Rutledge) and some scholars (Walter Edgar among the leading ones) argue the Revolution was won in the South. History Channel shows the 50-something religious elder Sam Adam's as a 24 year old hothead, when in fact South Carolinas Chris Gadsden was the young rebellious Son of Liberty.
This should be in the history books in schools, it was not in mine when I was in grade school or high school 70-80s.
Thanks for educating us all.
All of these Tea Parties did one solid thing. American's love their coffee.
Great video! I had no idea the tea parties were so widespread.
I didn’t realize how much I like history until The History Guy!
Well done ancestors! Good video, thanks.
I'm British but I applaud the U.S. founding fathers. This was abuse by the English full stop and it stirs me to hear of the actions of those people preceding independence. I believe that history doesn't repeat itself but the actions of people always will. Every country in the world, no matter how well developed it believes itself to be, can learn from history like this (especially the U.S., Russia, Belarus, Myanmar and Afghanistan) to create a fairer future for us all.
Even our British cousins later called King George "Mad King George" even though most of the taxes were of course passed by Parliament. That was the main complaint of our forefathers - there was no MP representing the colonies.
As a History teacher, I would caution those who say that public education and teachers are lacking. As mentioned in of of the comments, time is limited and we teach from books written by historians and history professors. That said, I always try to bring material, such as this, to add to the class and make it more interesting and complete. Instead of criticizing public education and teachers that dedicate their lives to educating your children, show a little support.
There is still a British East India store in London and they have a blend of tea based on the manifest from the ships in Boston. My wife wanted to get some and I objected, I told her we didn't throw it in the harbor over 200 years ago only to fly there and give them back their money. The store clerk was not happy.
Thank you sir for that, as an Englishman my only knowledge was that of the Boston tea party. PS I don't drink tea! Cheers
IIRC, the tea parties are what led the colonies, then the US, into drinking coffee.
If you don't drink tea and are a Brit - you might be the only one. 🤣🤣 I lived just outside of London for about 7 months so long ago. Cheers.
Amazing! Never heard of these other "Tea Parties". One wonders how many of our other historical events, have remained "buried in time"?
Just do your research. So much is a matter of time ... in class. You can only cover so much in one 45 minute to one hour a day class.
Surprised that, with the current evolving view of history, the Tea Party/s is not seen an act of environmental terrorism. But seriously, fascinating to watch! Many thanks for posting this.
:-D "The US population, wasting food since 1773".
Thanks again for another great video. I really don't think that they had tea bags back then!!!!
I live in Hamden Connecticut where Eli Whitney made muskets with interchangeable parts for the Colonial forces. That might be an interesting topic for you since he is mostly remembered for the cotton gin.
Whitney's cotton gin had the unfortunate side effect of greatly increasing slavery; previous cotton growing had been limited to a variety that only grew near the coast and was marginally feasible to de-seed by hand, hence only marginally profitable even with slave labor. Whitney's machine was not only far more productive than de-seeding cotton by hand, it would process an inland variety of cotton that could be grown on poorer land but had previously defied efforts to economically produce it in quantity because it was nearly impossible to process by hand. Whitney's machine changed that paradigm and prompted a massive expansion of cotton plantations. I don't know how he felt about slavery but he didn't make much money off of the cotton gin ---- he initially tried leasing the use of the machines, for a fairly high fee and a percentage of the finished cotton, but planters rebelled and some of them copied the machine themselves. He spent a lot of time in court.
@@goodun2974 I don't think old Eli realized what he did. We often overlook the evil caused by his invention.
@@ronalddevine9587 , man's infinite capacity for inhumanity to his fellow man never ceases to amazee me. Every new invention gets hijacked by those without scruples. Alfred Nobel intended for his new, stable explosive called dynamite to make mining safer compared to black powder and nitroglycerin, but was horrified when the new classes of high explosives that he helped usher into being were subsequently used in war to kill and maim.
I always enjoy learning more about colonial America. Thank you
Very interesting! Thank you to Mr. THG
I wonder what the fish thought, the water suddenly tasting faintly of tea.
I remember reading that history doesn't repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes. I've been thinking about that a lot lately, especially during the pandemic. A lot of comparisons have been drawn between COVID and Spanish Flu, I would like to see your take on the parallels between the late 19-teens and the 1920's with the 20-teens and 2020's, not just in relation to the pandemics, but the economy, social movements(suffragettes), political/religious leanings. I bet you could make a great presentation.
So timely. Thank you.
Always a Joy to watch Your informative 📹 video(s) 📹 . The Ratt in Texas.... 🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🤗
Love it!
Please do several “history guy segments “ on the amendments to the USA constitution.
I remember reading Jack Greene's "The Constitutional Origins of the American Revolution" for my revolutionary history course in college (it's a bit of a slog writing-wise, but the subject matter is fascinating). I personally found the argument that the initial steps of the revolution was a reaction to the new british taxes going against the individual colonies right to pass their own taxes secured by their founding charters much more compelling than the common "the new taxes caused Americans to pay more!" argument taught in schools
This is exactly the type of history I enjoy. There is another story about how the Prince Hall masons got their charter. Hint: It is connected to the tea party raids. History guy. I'm waiting for that story.
Thank you. Great timing.
With my second mug of coffee in hand, I suggest a Toast to Tea Parties!
Hear Hear!
Thank you! I never knew about all these other tea parties!
Thank you. Have a good day.
Mr History Guy: You missed the Tea Party in Chestertown, Maryland in May 1774! You and the lovely Ms. History Guy should plan to attend their annual Chestertown Tea Party Memorial Day Weekend Festival. its a blast and very colonial.
Another great episode Professor!
Very nice video as always! And timely
Excellent lesson. Thank you.
A better understanding of the Revolution thanks to you!
How very.... fortuitous the timing of this video!
"A handful of patriots.." - of course not; a handful of rebels, however...
What's your point?
@@freeto9139 I'm sorry, if it's not already evident to you then I doubt I could make it simple enough for you to understand.
@@nemo6686 the only conclusion I can draw is you're being sarcastic. Fine. Not entirely a given, but I'll assume as much. Given your response, it could still be just the opposite, however 🙄
@@nemo6686 I suspect you are dealing with a tea drinking royalist, stuck in dark ages contempt of PATRIOTS !
Let me guess...
A ham fisted attempt to say 1 man's patriot is another rebel, just as 1 man's terrorist is another's freedom fighters.
Only honest assessment of all facts, in the calm light of day will lead to discovery of the truth.
Of course, you'll need be sure, not to forget your veil of ignorance. It's essential to any assessments success.
Glad you included the one in Edenton, NC. Most locals pronounce the first syllable with a long "E" much like the Garden of Eden. Great work as always, thanks so much.
History that may not be worth remembering, that little NC town has an annual peanut festival in the fall. I participated in my first marching band competition there my freshman year of high school. It hailed On us while we were on the field, good times.
The water in the harbor looks like the tea is still down there.
Hey Guy, Rumble is growing. Miss ya.
I really like your video's. Stuff that would normally bore the crap out of me, I can enjoy when you present it. Thanks for for your great work.
Great vlog as always!
Thank you for elaborating on many tea-parties. In the 1770s.
What an ironic time for this video. It seems history is about to repeat itself. Of course for different reasons but to achieve the same outcome! God bless America!! Thank you for the video today I enjoyed it there is nothing more important than history
God bless you for being a patriot!🇺🇸
Is the FBI aware of this?
Vaccine is the tea of today.
@@-Stop-it what is that supposed to mean?
Wonderful history lesson, thank you
Thank you!!
I had no clue. Thanks for illuminating me, Lance! Now have a cuppa. :)
I knew there was 1 or 2 other tea party's but I didn't know it was this extensive. Thanks for teaching me something.... Again.
3:09 oh what it would have been like to live at a time when society did things for the principal, not the dollar.
Since the whole thing was centered around commerce, I bet the dollar had something to do with it.
You're missing the point. Even when England had cut the price of tea, tax included, to be cheaper than smuggled tea - the colonists wouldn’t buy or drink it out of principle. It was all about the principle of the matter. Tea was cheaper and they still wouldn’t buy it. Let alone let it be unloaded at ports.
Isn't it often that someone says "It's the principal!" just because they don't want to "look cheap?" 🤔✌🏼
@@mikitz You mean the pound? They were English colonists. There was no United States yet. So, you'll have too wait a little to blame the U.S.. Lol
Now we pay 30-40% taxes and keep asking for more. I'd say we need another tea party but now everything is taxed.
Great Episode
