(Instead of fucking over poor people, they could look instead at raising taxes on coal and gas industries.)

Restaurants mark up the second least expensive, because they know that you will not want to appear too cheap in front of your date, but that you don’t want to overspend on drinks, especially if the restaurant is pricier than what you usually go for.

I wouldn’t say there’s an equating of Hoffa in the right to work campaign so much as there’s quite a bit of truth that Unions, on aggregate, only exist for the sake of the union anymore. One only has to look at the failures of the UMWA and the UAW unions to see that clearly. Both of them failed their members…

Sorry, but housing inventory is only one teeny-tiny part of the overall cost of housing anywhere. All you have to do is look at places like Baltimore, MD where the average home price is still $125,000 despite having one of the highest vacancy rates in the nation. Social desirability, access to jobs, public safety, and…

Because in a world where kids are murdering their classmates because of bullying and lack of overt and readily recognizable support from their parents and teachers, not asking your kid how their day was because they might roll their eyes or be tired and sarcastic is a fantastic way to show them that you love them and…

That’s it? Well, have fun dying of cancer from your internalized radionuclides suckers!

Maryland has no such wide-spread problem; therefore, no law is needed 

Vegan restaurants and hot yoga would do better in the resort towns. Fayetteville, Lewisburg/White Sulphur Springs, and possibly Elkins. Beckley is still very much a blue-collar town as far as their values and ideals go. It is the new home of WVU Tech which has an enrollment right around 1,100 though, so you could get…

What kind of business are you looking at locating there? I’m thinking of moving back to WV for a similar reason. I want to give back to the state that made me who I am today by helping to create jobs even if on a small scale.

Yes and Yes. Smoother by a long shot, and definitely more expensive. Nothing compares to flying into Yeager though. Look out the window down at the pretty river thinking “we’ve still got some altitude to dump before we land” and then WHAM! Tarmac in your face because you’re landing on top of a mountain. A buddy of…

For starters, WV had a very diversified economy. It’s not just coal that left, but steel, and chemical production, and textiles, and railroads, glass, and manufacturing. All you have to do is drive through the New River and Kanawha valleys and you’ll see massive examples of all of these industries abandoned and being…

I find it disingenuous that you’re painting the state with the racism label while completely ignoring the fact that the vast majority of people that live there are extremely open and accepting of others regardless of their race, creed, or color. It’s clear your two years weren’t enough time there as if you’d actually…

It was all of the ridiculous, cognitively dissonant ways that race, guns and American policy intersect. A convention where people of color walk around freely buying guns from people who would justify shooting them out of fear in any other space. A world where a relatively pro-gun person like myself doesn’t see my…

I have this same conversation with the frikken groundhogs in my area. Thank god I live outside the urban area of my county!

Historically, governments on both the state and federal level are very much in the way. Here are some examples you might find interesting. Essentially, since 1934, your 2nd Amendment rights have been chewed away bit by bit to the point where not much is left of it for you to exercise (thought that might swing the…

It’s accurate, but only insofar as how to spot a handgun being carried without proper CCW equipment or vestments. Someone who has a bit of intelligence and access to proper IWB holsters and practices defensive shooting isn’t going to be noticed, but your average hoodlum is actually going to exhibit a lot of these…

Well, it’s Crosby, the golden boy of the NHL, so Bettman probably called the refs right then and there....

It’s all well and good to say “just don’t go places that are dangerous.” But you’re forgetting that there are plenty of people who live in dangerous places that need to be able to carry for their own protection. Single mothers working two or three jobs just to make ends meet in the inner city who live in subsidized…

The insurance isn’t for potential criminal issues pertaining to self defense, it’s for the civil suit that will likely come down in the long run because mama will get up on the stand and cry her eyes out about how he was “such a good boy” and “never did nuffin’ wrong” aside from, you know, attempted murder or the…
