That’s usually about health insurance. Keeps their premiums down if they offer health as a benefit. Doesn’t make it right, but it is not a morality thing on the firm’s part.

I’ve heard soccer’s pretty bad with it too. Maybe badminton is the answer.

7754 is the PIT count of people homeless at one given point in time. Many, many more cycle through homelessness in any year.

The media is avoiding it…like all the media cited in this post? Or the NY Times article today discussing many of the points in those articles? Or the OP article? I’m so tired of news outlets reporting on news outlets. The news isn’t news, I want actual news about events.

Site exists, but it’s part of the schtick. It’s Alan Wagner, @truewagner on insta.

Oof. I wonder how that will work in the case of infrastructure like roads and bridges–long term tolls? At some point it has to eat away at whatever good will the Chinese were trying to buy.

What happens if countries just default? Do non-Chinese lenders care? Does it trash bond ratings across the board?

The absence of palm oil–or any cooking oil–is pretty dubious.

Can’t hurt to have the docs prescribe some low dose benzoyl or other med for the anxiety. But the distraction suggestion is also good. Get some reading done.

I would have preferred they use the names of Union generals, but I suppose many of them are already taken.

84 and humid in FL for Halloween, as usual. I miss a nice crisp fall.

I love the principle, but I don’t think it is even legal in the US. The constitution only allows for income tax, and I don’t see that ever changing.

Horrible, but also really impressive how they manipulate people. Forced engagement in the weekend leagues, resetting the game periodically…the addicts don’t stand a chance.

This is a ridiculous take. The plea deal was in a Georgia state RICO case, the rioters were tried in federal courts for totally different crimes. Powell, Cheese Bro, et al. still face charges in Jack Smith’s inquiry.

Fortunately I live in a state where you can get away with straight piping. So it’s mostly the environment that gets fucked!

The one with the guy?

“Flood the internet” apparently means making shit for other trolls and posting it on an image board for trolls.

Came close with Ken Lay.

Except almonds. Almonds are terrible water wasters, and mostly grown in California where they can least afford the water.

At least he’s got a New Glarus.
