Should be a pretty easy policy to promote. It’s pretty obvious that when people have disposable income and free time, they spend money. Dinner, movies, etc. A fair wage and 30 hour work week would stimulate the economy like crazy.

I’m a teacher and winter break started today. I opened a beer the second I got home.

Oh good, more “Beautiful Dead Girl” imagery. Thanks, Greg Dulli, for keeping that trope alive. 

Interested to see if Megan Mullally responds to this. 

Solid point!

Well researched, too. I have read that Marb Reds were his preferred brand before he quit.

Man who makes well over the average household income says people shouldn’t worry about “nickels and dimes.” LOL.

You don’t have any friends that you’re close enough with to talk about money concerns? Maybe those unemployed friends you supposedly have that are probably quite worried about money? Sounds like a shitty…

Nah, fuck that. When I was making 8.50 an hour while my friend made 22, I sure as shit wasn’t subsidizing his more expensive tastes, and he didn’t fucking expect me to. I DO like him which is why I went out for meals with him even when going out to eat at all was a splurge. Or should I only be friends with people in…

If I were a politician, I’d just list some of the more enjoyable nonsense I’d read, like this book I found called “How to Fight Presidents,” (like physically fight) and the series of romance novels that Fabio “wrote” in the 90s.

But this is probably why I’m not a politician.

I’ve heard it suggested that he should just announce at one of his rallies that the wall is already built. His followers believe everything he says, so they’ll be happy, and we’ll save 5 billion dollars. 

Everything I’ve heard about it makes me believe that it wasn’t really finished. People who claim it’s brilliance say that the rambling, non-cohesive structure, excessive characters, and lack of resolution in the end are artistic choices. I think Foster Wallace just realized he’d written himself in too deep to…

Being able to retire and then sell art for extra cash is my 30 year plan. 

I had a seasonal gig helping a local artist on the art fair circuit. Driving the van, setup and takedown, etc. I met quite a few artists who were able to make a decent living doing it. It’s not a bad existence, really. You make the bulk of your income in the warm months, then spend the winter hunkered down in your…

I work with teens. Fire has already happened.

I’ve worked in psychiatric settings and foodservice, and while there is a lot of overlap, at least you know the people in psychiatric settings are getting help.

I order burgers rare. Shrug.

Problem is it’s usually the same person who orders more than everyone else. They are usually the ones who don’t have to worry about money, and don’t need to be subsidized. 

I find that about 1.5 units of alcohol helps get the ball rolling. Alcoholism is preferable to comic sans. 

Pam’s overeating is at least totally in character, though. She’s a classic hedonist who does everything in excess. Food, booze, drugs, risky behavior, etc. She’s a hot mess and I love her. 

What the fuck happened to Fall Out Boy? They used to be fun mall punk. I still play their shit from around 2005 sometimes when I’m feeling nostalgic. Their new stuff is just getting more and more unlistenable.
