Subject (and strange choice of target for scorn) aside, this isn’t even an article. There’s no through line, no theory, no point you ever get to. It’s just a collection of quotes from people with no underlying theme to hold it together. What was your conclusion after listening to all these interviews and podcasts?…

What should I do in such a case?

Damn it, there’s always something. Being childfree had to work against me eventually.

Pay people not to work?! What do you think this is, the federal government?

Frankly this business owner’s cue should be the fact that authorities won’t let kids go to school because of the severe cold.  This is definitely a killing cold.

For the love of God close down and pay the people scheduled. The high is supposed to be -12. Treat it like you would a hurricane.

Ask for volunteers, and—if financially feasible—offer to pay those who don’t wish to come in anyway. That way you can be open for whomever does wander by. Since quite a few people will be home needing a meal/leaving work early/forced to work anyway, I think you will be surprised how much business you get. Especially,…

Apparently it was the child’s guardian who called the police.

This looks amazing and I’m ready for all the low-hanging laughs.

It could be worse— at least it’s not Larry Hemsworth!

Unfortunately, like the film’s producers, you’ll have to settle for Liam instead!

Same. This looks hysterical.

Um, heck YES I want to watch Chris Hemsworth flex his comedy muscles. COMEDY muscles, guys, geez.

I am so excited for this as someone who both loooves romcoms and thinks they’re stupid. Tom and Lorenzo had some posts while they were filming and the costumes look amazing.

I can’t lie, I will watch the hell out of this.  

can i wait on you?

Come on Rude. Then take out the word “Elderly,” and substitute “Has some physical/mental challenges.” If the wait staff did a good job or was extra accommodating, why not tip more?

This is a case where letting the server know about your grandmother’s dementia and carrying out some extra money so that you could leave an additional tip would be good ideas. I’d say start doing both in the near future.

It’s really crappy to be in the gray, isn’t it?

It’s really crappy to be in the gray, isn’t it?

We need to stop playing into the GOP narrative that we want free birth control. Under the ACA, we get birth control covered at 100% by our insurance, but we pay for the insurance. It’s not a handout. It’s simply requiring insurance to provide a benefit that the overwhelming majority of women need.
