“Also, what do Second Class citizens DO? Jinju runs the world’s quietest sushi bar, but have we really seen other Second Class citizens? I got the feeling that all the labor, from tutor to jackboots, were living in Third.”

“She is not a hero and I don’t think they’ve done enough with her character to ever make her a hero.”

Layton hasn’t even had time to wipe the blood off his face. Is it not plausible that he cannot solve every single problem on the train at once?

Much better stated that I would have done. You pulled every line that made me pause and furrow my brow. I said in another comment that it seems like the reviewer wanted a totally different show, not this one done better.

Thank you for the obvious comments on LJ/Oz, the Tailies partying in first. It’s so clear what these are for, and I’ve been surprised at how obtuse the reviewer has been over the season. Snowpiercer isn’t without its flaws, but at times, I think she just wanted a very different show, not for this one to be better.

The show begin with animation, so maybe they just wanted stylistic bookends?

“Supposedly, it was never about power for her. Sure, seems convenient.”
No, it’s seem pretty damn inconvenient that she had two have all this baggage instead of just running the train and people behaving themselves. Then again, we can see every day people having tantrums over having to wear a mask in the middle of a…

It was a hint of our future fucked-ness when Donald said that during a debate with Hillary and she had zero comeback for it. It’s an idiotic argument and any smart person should be able to knock it out of the air.

Maybe we can get tattoos that scream No out-of-network providers are allowed to touch me. There is so much bullshit in our “heathcare system” that shouldn’t be allowed to exist! 50 years from now people will be as schocked by it as we are when we see old movies with people smoking cigarettes inside while they hold…

“But in a free market people will choose the option that’s best for them, and market forces will bring prices down!”

As of last year, I’ve got health insurance with a deductible under $1000 for the first time in my life. It’s really “decent” coverage overall, as these things go, but I’d still trade that shit for a Medicare card in a hot second. What scares me the most, personally, is surprise balance billing. All of the local…

that really sucks that you had to spend your inheritance on tests. that is the way I imagine my grandma’s estate is going to go. she died in february and left a big farm and a lot of cash, but my uncle has alzheimers, my mom has a ton of health problems too, so our middle classness and the ability to leave stuff to…

it does make sense, though, considering that capitalism is an accumulation economy. Expand or go out of business. short term profits at the expense of everything else.

I had to have a major ankle repair two years ago, from which I’m still recovering. The good news was that I didn’t have to pay a cent for the surgery itself, because the deductible was covered. The bad news was that I had to pay $5,000 beforehand while getting tests performed while figuring out the source of pain was…

Medicare for All would entail “wholesale disruption of American health care [that] would surely jeopardize the relationship people have with their doctors

yup, all the while being heavily subsidized by each city’s road infrastructure, then clogging up the same streets, all the while losing a ton of money doing so

That last shot of multiple pairs of best friends about to go on their own New York misadventures was such a perfect way to end the show. Closing a cherished book while opening a whole bunch of others, and Abbi and Ilana’s crazy-ass five-season journey is one I’m so fucking glad I decided to take. Here’s to the two…

TJ’s had Himalayan honey a few years back. After buying one bottle and tasting it (it was very good) I bought five more because that’s how the Trader Joe’s game goes.  

I’m pretty sure lying to get people’s money for goods/services you have no intention or ability to produce is pretty much the textbook definition of fraud.

Regardless, Ocasio-Cortez is going to continue to piss off other Democrats who think she should wait her turn who are every bit as bought and sold by corporate interests as their GOP counterparts.
