I hereby renew my standing offer to absolutely take a turn at Weekend-at-Bernie’s-ing if it should become necessary.

But only after I made sure that someone else had to take him home at the end of the day. 

Not to mention that plumbers, mechanics, electricians, and a host of other skilled trades are generally required to have some pretty serious abilities in a lot of areas that are normally thought of as academic. If you’ve ever seen the licensing test for a master plumber or electrician, for instance, you quickly…

The trade deficit in the United States narrowed to USD 51.1 billion in January of 2019 from an upwardly revised USD 59.9 billion in the previous month, which was the largest since 2008.

They’ll also have a lawsuit and an injunction before they can process the first batch of applications. Firing people for participating in union activities is illegal retaliation. 

Yes, there is a depressing number of mostly incompetent people who have been led to believe that the ability to string together words in a semi-coherent manner is the same as being a writer, and this is a state of affairs that has left all of us dumber as a result.

Meh, the family seems more of the “wipe it under the table” type.

I live in the suburbs and have somehow managed to go out on a regular basis without setting foot in a Cheesecake Factory, a Chili’s, or an Olive Garden for at least the past 10 years. So?

Oh, jeezus...surge pricing. Don’t even get me started. I doubt I’m the only person that has hesitated to take an Uber somewhere because I have no idea how much it will cost me to get home. Or the fun I ran into on New Year’s Eve - I needed to go a whole 3 blocks to get to the hotel I was staying at. The only reason I…

Just like black box trading, autopilot on planes, Tesla autopilot, automatic defibrillators, and all manner of potentially dangerous robot stuff in every element of our lives.

Exactly. People keep carrying on about driverless cars without ever seeming to comprehend that “the car can handle the mechanics of navigating the roadways without human assistance” doesn’t even remotely mean “humans are not necessary.”

What if Trump and Co remember/forget that there is a (New) Mexico between Texas and Arizona... and if that is a US State or not?

I mean...polls did say Hillary was going to win and were very off base.
