I’ve always wondered if LinkedIn works for anybody, including those senior people. I can’t think of a single CEO or Executive Director of my acquaintance who ever found employment directly through that site or through connections made there, and I work in a very fluid field.

More power to you! I just have to leave it all at the store. Know your enemy and all that.

Crunchy and salty? My doom. It stays at the store.

That’s what my escaped-from-evangelism husband is for. :)

It’s in the middle of the ocean! Very big ocean! Do people even live there?

Never have I wished harder for Zombie Churchill to rise from the grave and take vengeance on this squirming maggot who dared to utter his name.

That’s what tripped me up, as well. “Look how nice we are to come down and save this poor island, which is an island, and not the United States, and to whom we owe nothing.”

You just perfectly previewed the Thanksgiving-with-evangelical-conservative-inlaws I’ll be at next month. I can’t wait!

That’s because the restrictions were lifted for SNAP recipients in Texas and Florida. But Puerto Rico? Those lazy brown people can starve!

Hm, you may have a great idea here. Guns could be the Tupperware and PartyLite Candles of the 21st century!

I have. Perhaps you could be clear about your meaning?

Sigh. At least the universe is still beautiful.

I posted this in response to something else, but it’s valid here. Jimmy is totally right. It’s insane how much sway the NRA’s relatively small, far-far-right voice has, but also emblematic of the way “governance” is done today. Congress does not give a single fuck what the majority of American people want. On any…

It’s insane to me how much sway the NRA’s far-far-right voice has, but also so emblematic of the way “governance” is done today. Congress does not give a single fuck what the majority of American people want. On any issue. And the situation is only getting worse.

Is that how it works? It’s completely bizarre that they’re citizens who can’t vote as long as they stay on the island, yet can the minute they move across the water.

Oh...oh my god. This is what Trump tweeted just a few hours ago from another long weekend at his golf course. Just when you think it can’t get worse, it always always always gets worse.

Totally agree. Our house has doubled in value in...5 years? It’s now worth far more than it was the last time its price inflated in, yes, a region where salaries are basically stagnant. What the hell? Love our house, but we’re thinking hard about how to cash out before all the crap hits the fan again. I do think it…

If our neighborhood’s skyrocketing home values are any indication, we’re also currently in a real estate bubble that is far worse than the 2008 debacle, but nobody seems to be talking about it. I really fear the crash/correction to come.

But this is exactly how the cycle works, especially in the last few decades. Republicans take charge and blow everything to hell by slashing taxes, destroying social programs, and starting wars that pour profits into the top 1%. When everything goes to hell, Democrats are voted in and are faced with the impossible…
