And that’s your choice and prerogative! But don’t assume everyone feels that way. Lots of people LOVE retirement. You likely have a true career, though. What if you just stamped oil pans in a factory all day? Or sewed garments? Something that you don’t actually like doing, but it was the only job you could get where…

I don't think you know what communism is. It is a system where there is no private ownership, and everything is communally owned, hence the name. The government redistributing money is no such thing.

Exactly. People in that range often live to work, and invest huge amounts of energy and emotion into their business.

Personally, I could probably push billables and business development to get into the $200k range, but nope.  I don’t want the work.

This X1000, I work at Microsoft and also receive a paycheck from Apple for being a developer. I’m very blessed to still have a job and I’m actually making more now that my primary job is remotely training hundreds to thousands of people on using our remote software in their businesses. So many Americans including my…

Isn’t the goal of social programs to help the citizenry become productive members of the society by lifting them out of poverty enough that they can support themselves and then contribute to the economy? I agree the stigma of unproductive (for whatever reason) = less than human is fucked and should go away. However,…

Bernie didn’t just “give up”, he got beat. In fact, he got beat this time by more than he got beat the last time. He had four years to do the work and he just expected to show up and win.

My cousin was given a fledgling out of the nest years ago, no one else would tae it so she raised it; turned out to be a California Jay.  It lived for years and was quite the family member, had all kinds of tricks. Very friendly and social but if you walked in wearing red he would go nuts. Jay-bird level screaming and…

Yeah, it is good to see that.

The type of person who has “permission to be exactly who they are” is a person who has not struggled to overcome hardship, prejudice, systemic racism, mental illness, poverty, violence or abuse, neglect, lack of access to health care, a subpar education, family caregiving, chronic illness, and so on. There were times…

Just devastated... I can’t even right now. Rest in Piece Mr. Prine. Appreciate all the joy you brought to my life through your songs

A knife to the gut, this one. Paradise lost once again.

I like how he doesn’t look like Tom Hanks... Not saying. Just saying.

Someone’s trying to create a law suit out of thin air. 

What are those sounds coming out of his mouth? It’s more like he just got done watching season 4 of The Expanse and is talking like a ‘Belter.

This seems...plausible.

He went by car because they could pull up and stuff him in it without him being available to view, unlike boarding the helicopter. May have needed help into the car while breathing into a paper bag. Not good optics.

He looks like a fucking toddler about to cry.  The most fucking pathetic individual to ever hold the office.

The best thing about this is that it will eat away at him way, way, way more than things like “credibly accused of being a Russian asset” or “revealed almost daily, often by his own idiotic admission, to have participated in criminal activity.”

The “Veterans for Impeachment” signs behind home plate at the top of the fifth was also a nice touch.
