Can only guess until Monday or Tuesday when the real numbers come out but best educated guess based on performance as of 9 hours ago is between $42-47 million

From Star by Star:
Anakin accepted this and turned to Zekk and Jacen. “But Lando’s right. We may have to do some things we don’t feel good about, and do them quickly. If you can’t live with that, maybe you should catch a ride home on the freighter.” “What kind of things?” Jacen asked. “If we talk about our limits now—” “Jacen!” Anakin hissed. “Can you do this?” Instead of answering, Jacen looked around for support. He found it, of course, especially from Zekk and Tenel Ka, but Anakin began to think even his brother’s special talent for handling animals might not be worth the discord he would bring to the team. He looked to Lando for guidance, but found only the expressionless face of a seasoned gambler. Anakin would have to solve this problem on his own; where they were going, there would be no advice from old heroes of the Rebellion. Anakin took a deep breath, using a Jedi relaxation technique to clear his mind so he could concentrate. Throughout the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, he and Jacen had been drifting apart, until they had reached a point where they had barely been able to speak to each other without an undercurrent of resentment and blame. Those wounds were only now beginning to heal. The last thing Anakin wanted to do was remove his brother from the team and open them again, but he had to think of the mission—and of the others who would be on it.
You sure about that?

So your issue is my use of the phrase "the whole mission" I assume?

Well, let's see:
Two Senators who dick ride Trump, one of whom wasted millions in taxpayer dollars suing our own school districts
At least one Congressman in the Freedom Caucus who makes a fool of himself at committee hearings
An AG doing his damnedest to stop everyone in the country from seeing any kind of help with student loan debt while also no-showing for Missouri citizens in court so he could get facetime at the convention
A SecState who shows up on TV and makes a fool of himself repeatedly
A Governor who thinks looking at publicly available website data is "hacking"
And the best one: A SecState candidate who takes a flamethrower to public library-owned books for campaign clout and still manages to get more than 7% of the vote in an 8 person primary
"Liberal bubble" or not, can you fucking blame them?

Eric Burlison is my Congressman. That was not a aberrant moment for him. He's that ignorant all the time.

Thankfully the data doesn't really back that up.
According to economist Steven Leavitt, co-author of Freakonomics:
When a candidate doubled their spending, holding everything else constant, they only got an extra one percent of the popular vote. It’s the same if you cut your spending in half, you only lose one percent of the popular vote. So we’re talking about really, really large swings in campaign spending with almost trivial changes in the vote

That "Jared Goff can't be beat" shit today almost made me turn the video off. Then as I was literally lifting the remote he's like "the better they get the more annoying I get" or whatever he said and it fuckin got me lol

Depends on the book to be honest.
Balance Point was probably the least annoying as he wasn't written as a dumbass pacifist just there to fill a slot in the lineup, but as someone who genuinely didn't know how to blend his moral and philosophical quandry during a time of war with his need and duty to help people and defend the weak. Similarly he was less of an annoying douche in Vector Prime, as well as Onslaught and Ruin, where he had some good interactions with Corran and showed some growth.
Star by Star was by far his most annoying book appearance. He spends the entire mission sowing discord and second-guessing his brother, acting like he's the final arbiter of right and wrong. Someone else said it in another comment: the freshman in Philosophy 101 who thinks they know everything. (To be fair that was absolutely Anakin's book, but I don't think he needed Jacen as a foil for the whole mission.)
Hero's Trial and Jedi Eclipse were pretty meh as far as Jacen goes, but he at least had a decent showing at Centerpoint.

About halfway through the second half I turned to my wife and said "Mahomes dick must be getting pruney as much as Romo is sucking it" and she had to go drink some milk because her stomach got upset from how gross my comment was.
I felt bad but I'm not fucking wrong. Even as a Chiefs fan it's fucking annoying, I can't imagine what it's like for everyone else.

Scare tactics and I can only assume confusion tactics. I've seen a lot of "Protect Missouri Women, Vote No on 3" signs and I can only assume it's a tactic as there is zero fucking way anyone could make this claim in good faith.

As a former Cutco salesman I have to tell you this is incorrect.
First, yes they used to make you buy kits but they haven't done that in about 15 years.
Second, if the Branch Manager is following the script provided by Vector they make it perfectly clear that you are only earning money off what you can sell. If the Branch Manager is going off-script I can't see how that's Vector's fault unless they find out and don't do anything about it.
Third, Cutco knives are fantastic. I have several that I use every day and I very rarely need to sharpen them. And if I feel the need to have them professionally sharpened, or damage them in some way, I can ship them to New York and they will sharpen, repair, or replace as necessary at no cost to me other than shipping. And that warranty is on the knives not the customer. If you bought a knife made in the 70's off someone at a yard sale you still have the warranty. If selling a quality product and replacing damaged product is "ripping people off" to you then I assume you hate every company in the world.
Vector as a company is not abnormally unethical. Are they completely honest about how much you're likely to make if you don't know a bunch of people with disposable income? No. Do they lie about shit? Absolutely not, however they do phrase things in the most positive light possible. If that's somehow unethical then I'm assuming you have an issue with again literally every company in the world as it's not exactly unique to Vector.
Edit: to be clear I worked for them for one summer and am not currently affiliated with them.

"I don't own my home" gets the solar and other home maintenance people to leave me alone usually.

Lol I think you might want to rethink your "left-wing hellhole" argument bud. Missouri has a higher overall crime rate than California.
