Damned auto-correct.

... on the 12th of never.

In my 40 years running a tax business, I had the best way ever to keep employees:

Pay them twice the going rate.

Not only were they easy to retain, they required no retraining, and one actually used her UPTO to cover my second week of April.

My proudest moment was when someone tried to pirate her from me, and the moment they told her the pay ... she laughed in their faces.

The real change happened after WWII.

GIs got packets with crackers, jelly, chocolate, cigarettes, peanut butter, etc.

The resourceful soldiers combined the pb and the j between the crackers.

Once home, they switched out crackers for Wonder Bread ... and a classic was born.

"Maintaining a trade deficit is the economic equivalent of Them winning."

Congrats!

It's not many who can flunk an Econ 101 mid-term with a single statement.

"I know right? People hate being off work while on the clock."

You know the really, really REALLY funny thing is about this?

Most of the folks the long lines were designed for, DON'T get paid for it.

Hi-larious!

"My warehouse is unionized. However long they take is however long it takes. They don't mind."

Ooooh...now do the majority.

"People hate being off work while on the clock."

Well...some people.

The majority of workers don't have that option.

"I've read that Tarrant County is historically Republican."

Probably is, so only "certain" voting places were closed.

Wink wink.

" Its always next year."

Except these were by design, knowing there'd be blowback if they took effect BEFORE the midterms.

Much like the tax breaks that expire three weeks before Trump leaves office.

" we can point to all groups that drag down the average
inner cities
minorities
public schools"

You're right. But all states have those groups.

Red states still rate worst.

" It's more like 700 since the Shelby decision"

IOW, forcing folks to wait hours in line is a GREAT way to suppress the vote!

" Distinctions without differences."

Huh?

"A Short video, notifications, algorithmic feeds, constant task-switching, reduced long-form reading, less boredom, less unstructured thought."

Excellent summation, and excellent point.

AU, check your email.

"We're watching the exact same heartbreak express pull out of the station"

Yep.

This will come down to who COUNTS the vote.

The Pedo Party wins.

"Communism???? How can she use that term? It's not fair!!!!"

You're literally minimizing bald-faced lies.

Where do you believe defending lies and liars puts you on the moral scale?

"Workers' Share of America's Income Is at a Record Low"

Ooof.

Historically, not a good omen for the billionaire class.

" Communism???? How can she use that term? It's not fair!!!!"

Meanwhile, Republicans are actively protecting child sex traffickers and perpetrators. No one has to create a fake complaint.

But both parties are the same, right?

Mike Johnson is framing it as Republicans versus Communism.

Of course, he can't name a single Democrat (or Republican for that matter) who has called for a classless society and the end of private property.

Looks like he's using Vernon's Dictionary.

"my son just graduated Northwestern with a 3.98 in math and a 3.98 in another major... "

Congratulations! Great individual achievement, but that also reflects excellent parenting.

Same for OCU. Congratulations!

And iirc, Eberly also has a standout student. Way to go!

"Most here would simply just accuse you of being nothing more than an -------."

Not if you actually knew the reference before looking it up.

" I asked your belief and you danced around it by quoting Balzac."

Yeah, that's one way it works around here. I referenced because I agree.

Could you not figure that out? Or do you actually believe I referenced it because I disagree?

"A Mighty Hot Dog is our Lord"
