I'm willing to swap my house with any of these poor depressed oligarchs that feel obliged to flee the city. It's in a conservative run state if that sweetens the deal.

Lay-z-boy might be worth a look. I don't have a couch but I have several reclining chairs. They've all held up well for 10 years and then some.

Yeah, the headline is true but wages need to rise to do anything about it, short of UBI which I personally think is unlikely in the US. I think we obviously need a new minimum wage that a person can actually live on, but I would take it a step further. I think it should be tied to market cap. In other words, the bigger the corporation, the higher their minimum wage bracket becomes. This would give some advantage to small, community owned businesses too.

Seems overdue but I notice they don't mention how likely it is to pass. I'll be pleasantly surprised if this becomes law.

There's zero percent chance this was written by Diapers but I guess it is concerning that we don't know who's really calling the shots and shooting off the tweets.

People that do this are inviting you to join the call. Announce yourself and ask what the caller is wearing.

Supposing Stargate technology exists, you could conceivably control an entire galaxy, but that is proposing the existence of technology incompatible with our best understanding of the universe. Realistically the solar system will probably be the limit of my empire.

Conservatism is a form of brain damage, so I guess it makes sense that it goes both ways.

Are you in Louisiana? Would providing this data be considered sharing under the law in question?
