I wonder how much of that lack of desire is a direct result of how difficult it is to make ends meet on a typical, low-skilled job. People who worked in retail, e.g., used to be able to live normal lives, even buy homes. Not any more. I’m sure that kills some people’s motivation.

Who’s buying lobster? I see steak on sale for $1.99/lb while hamburger is $5/lb. People are imagining things. Corporate welfare is the real fraud.

If you intend your pregnancy to result in a child, then there will be a person who is affected by your drinking. If you’re having…
