Racoons come around my house all the time, and they don't mess with my cats or viciously attack anything except my garbage if I leave it out.  I did have to yell at them when they were coming in the cat door, I think that I hurt their feelings.  I was afraid they would chew things but they never did any harm.  

They said Rad, but I thought Dix.

I think that it's a law that will go into effect if Roe falls, automatically.  Like a switch that doesn't need a live hand to work it I guess.

Well, I guess I would hope it isn’t so bad that every employee has to kick people out every day, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they usually had cause to kick at least one out. I’d be a bit surprised if they didn’t ignore if most of the time. I’ve tangled with Disney security before, it's amazing how fast dudes come…

IIRC John Carter was married to Angelica Skyler from Hamilton. And he dueled Burr first and didn't die.

Eh, some guests groped some employees and got kicked out.  I doubt Disney likes it much, but I don't see why they they would be too worried.  I'm not sure that they would bother to bury it if they could.  Them getting caught trying to bury it would be a much bigger story I think.

I bought a sterling silver tube, and it works well for me.

They don’t have to, but it’s polite to get it. And if the subject wants to cooperate it can be a big help.

In addition to the fact that saying you will hire anyone sounds great, but I get the feeling most of the people saying it haven’t personally tried to get useful labor out of a bipolar drug addict. Or a repeat sex offender. Or that chick who wrote “The Devil Wears Prada”. Some people are hard to employ. I imagine they…

I bet it was a private wine cave. Well, or owned by some sort of non-profit dedicated to the better decoration of cocktail parties for rich people so it doesn’t get taxed lol

Ya, I agree. Government jobs for everyone sounds good until you get assigned to chop wood in North Dakota, or live in a tent in the desert building a big wall.  And I like the Hoover Dam.

12 k isn’t that small. If an extra 12k a year wouldn’t make much difference to you you are rich. What’s world gdp per capital, 3k? And US median worker income is like 30k. And if kids get it too that helps single parents that much more. Find an actual single mother of two and ask if an extra 36k a year would help.…

It is arguably fourth or fifth, but one through four look a lot uglier without giving people adversely affected by them something to balance the scales.  And a UBI is a simple and I think efficient way to do that.

Eh, UBI and a carbon tax aren’t shallow “disruptive” ideas. And what’s this ideological historical stuff that has the real answers? Biden? Does he look like a man with a plan to you? I like Bernie and Warren, but I don’t think their plans are smarter and more realistic than Yang’s. I mean seriously, are you holding…

I don't know, honestly.  Sanders is a much better politician than they are and has a long and consistent track record.  He has a tough hill to climb to win the primary, but who else will?  Maybe Biden will keep channeling his Trumpian shield of Malarkey, and maybe Warren will pull through and win it, but as I see it…

Eh, Bernie hasn't lost yet.  Betting markets have Biden in first at 30% and Sanders in second place at 20%.  Those aren't great odds, but they aren't throw in the towel it's over odds.  

Ya, we were just talking about an old dude who still used real candles on the tree in the house, and how crazy/brave it was

How the hell do defense attorneys come before victims compensation? What do those negotiations look like? “Now is when I, as your friend and lawyer, have to ask, how much money you would like to give me, and how much you want to give to your enemies....". His enablers are lucky they aren't getting whacked too!  Or it…

Uber knows who was in what car when.

Who to my understanding have been paid 1.5 billion to administer 25 million in debt relief for students. One percent of 1.5 billion is 15 million, so it costs the government about $50 to give an endebted student $1 in relief. Of course academia gets its shot at that dollar before the student sees even that much value.
