Amazon and other on-line retailers are a prime reason why the Postal Service isn’t on it’s last legs, after Congress fucked around with their pension funding program.

It’s no about abortion or babies or God or human life. It’s about punishing “sluts” for having sex.

We need to stop reporting this dog-and-pony show of “he’s preparing.” He is NEVER going to sit down with Mueller. His lawyers say this to make it sound like he’s innocent and cooperating, but they’ll seize on anything from a rainy day to an FBI agent needing a day off for a sick kid to say that he can’t come/the FBI

Speaking from personal experience, doing stupid shit and consequences for doing stupid shit don’t always go together when and how we expect. To put it another way, a longer rope means more time to think “I’m getting away with this!” as you’re falling, but it also means you’re going a whole lot faster when the rope

“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”

How did they know the bugs weren’t washing their hands?

It wasn’t just about supporting myself. If I was dissatisfied with the men I dated, I could walk away.

My personal experience has actually shown the opposite. I’m in the same age range (27-32) and my male friends are looking and buying houses more than the females that I’m friends with.

Technically unmarried lady owning my own home here. I live with my partner, but it’s my house with my name alone on it, not anyone else’s. While I’ve had to do some degree of repair (like when the hot water heater sprung a vicious leak), in general it’s been a great experience, and it helps me feel like I have any

I’m beginning to think this Trump guy is a bit of a narcissist.

Rudy should save everyone the time and trouble and just wear a “MAYOR OF 9/11" t-shirt everywhere he goes.

I totally agree...but maybe its impact will be the same exact thing.

This economy is overdue for a correction, and it’s likely to come as a result of inflation and rising interest rates. The subprime auto loan implosion isn’t likely to be as bad as the subprime home loan disaster, but it’s going to be ugly.

There are tons of mid-market LBOs that go well enough. One private company that I worked with (around 100 employees), the founder wanted to exit so sold to a mid-market PE firm. They held for 8 years and then sold off to an industry competitor. Company did well under them and grew and the place stayed a pretty good

Pick your poison - either they don’t buy you out and the company goes under, or you get bought out and get to collect a paycheck a little longer. By the time the LBO is the only option on the table, you’re already living on borrowed time.

Honest question: has there ever been a time when a LBO ended up being good for the purchased company? I’m trying not to compare everything to Gordon Gecko, but with Mitt Romney’s disastrous buyout of Toys R Us coming to a head, I wonder if it ever works out for the bulk of people (instead of just very, very rich

including at GMG, the staff of which fears the newsroom may be cut by up to a third by the end of June, perhaps as part of a broader pivot toward video and branded content.

If our society is so weak that some pathetic internet trolling can throw the presidential election, that is our failure.

Of course Trump would never attend a funeral. It’s just a bunch of people talking about how great someone other than him is. Sounds awful.

A big infusion of cash from the Russians.
