Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Something I've wondered about but not enough to research it.   Why do they use those cans that come with a tool to open it by removing a strip of metal that winds around the tool as you open the can?  Most corned beef (if not all) is packaged this way.   Pain in the neck.  Why not use a regular can?

The "pull top" cans were developed during the war efforts...because there may be times when soldiers did not have other utensils at their disposal...

At least that is what my mother told me about spam and vienna sausages.

That makes sense, but still wonder why most corned beef, if not all, are packaged this way instead of other options.

Corned beef usually comes in cans that are not round, spam is the same way.  Can openers don't work well on rectangular cans.  Same for sardines and herring. 
Some of it just may be tradition.

The hole on the tab on soda cans is for holding a straw....not sure why on other foods.
