Dollar Tree being only a single dollar on everything.

I didn’t know Dollar Tree existed further back in the years like the 80s. But, I didn’t discover the store until like late 2000s. That store was a godsend for my then mostly broke ass. Sure the quality of products could’ve been better and the food selection could’ve been better, but they were there for me and others who’re strapped on budgets.

And it was a good 16 years while that lasted. It is a little annoying at times to shop there and know it is no different than Dollar General and Family Dollar. But it could’ve been worse.

      2000 United States presidential election in Florida

      After an intense recount process and the United States Supreme Court’s decision in Bush v. Gore, Bush won Florida’s electoral votes by a margin of only 537 votes out of almost six million cast (0.009%) and, as a result, became the president-elect.

      I lived through this, and to this day when people say that voting doesn’t matter, it makes my hair stand on end.

        Whatever channel I was watching election night called for Gore, and it was late. I went immediately to sleep after. Woke up the next day and it was mayhem. The split in timelines happened while I was sleeping and I would have chosen the other one, even not knowing all I do now.
