Like, in the lower molar, where it meets the gums? Or suctioned to the base of your tongue? Cause one of those is common, and it ain't the suction one

Where in Columbus Ohio? The Westerville location? I want to drive by and honk in support

I'm also poor, but Medicaid actually isn't terrible. I'd be completely boned without it tho. Like, no insurance at all

Is…is that not normal idle behavior? Like, my fingers will trace lines on stuff I'm holding without me really giving it any attention. Drumming rhythms on a surface with my fingertips is an option too.

I thought everybody did that stuff

Ha! Pull the other one, it's got bells on

Oh. Yeah. I really shouldn't post late at night after drinking. Although I was surprisingly coherent despite my brain not fully working.

Schumer's efforts during the shutdown aren't really connected to the last paragraph. I was rambling and the two thoughts aren't connected. Philosophically I have strong doubts that anyone in his position wouldn't be swayed by special interest money, but that is a conversation for a different place. I'll edit my original post when I'm a little more awake

It's simple, really. You can't get an economic downturn without human misery. And the big money people can't consolidate their holdings and acquire profitable companies at bargain basement prices if the economy is doing well. They don't want some messy financial crisis or pandemic creating unexpected problems. They want a predictable downturn that only affects the poors and a few unlucky upper middle class types. Then they can keep the funding they want and have a large and desperate labor pool to staff their newly acquired holdings. Win-win, at least for the people that matter.

You know. Not us

~~It's not that "both sides are the same". It's just that enough on all sides are bought and paid for that it doesn't matter if a few actually are trying to do good. Personally I don't see a reality where Schumer is not bought and paid for. And any efforts to circumvent the powers that be will be a nonstarter while the compromised ones hold power~~

Edit: While the last part is still something I believe, I posted this late at night and started rambling. It's not relevant to the OP and can be picked up in a more appropriate conversation another time
