Elect lawmakers who don’t have their heads stuck up their asses... 

I didn’t say that this was unavoidable, because it wasn’t.  I’m just saying that we can’t go back in time and fix it.  We have to deal with it the way that it is now.  

While I don’t really agree with basically anything the current administration has done in response to this disaster, I can only imagine if the Mercy & Comfort were still docked in their home ports, that people would be clamoring “WHY DIDN’T WE USE THE RESOURCES!?!”

Thanks GEICO, my renewal was 8 days before this window you chose.  What are the chances I don’t get a retroactive credit after the current 6 month period... 

By reading facebook, I can tell you what MANY people are NOT doing at the supermarkets...

5 y/o soft skill development: winnowing down the time that it takes him from a cold start, to get my 6 y/o to scream out for a parent. (currently at around 30-45 seconds).

I think the problem amounts to the fact that people are clamoring for information, and there isn’t a lack of it out there. What there is tho, is a whole lot of people who are posting shit on Facebook with no context, and without attribution. Many of them aren’t doing it with malice, but it’s really hard for people…

Click. Click. Click.....

Anyone who says “use masking tape to make walls” clearly does not have children.

Work Together, to Stay Apart...

It takes a special kind of asshole to do something like this.

All these publicly traded companies are likely part of a very, very large number of portfolios that include pension and 401k plans. While I think that they are a bunch of shit heels, its in the best interest of a lot of people (not just the incredibly rich fuckers) for these businesses to remain in existence.

If I can never drive it. I’d like this

By the simple virtue of you posting this here, you’ve probably reduced the likelihood of this working for individuals by a large margin.
