Come on now, that could have been any stepdad in Wisconsin!

To hit $55,000 with two incomes, which is of course very possible even if both are full time retail workers, you immediately run headlong into childcare issues. Either they burn most of one of those incomes annually on daycare, or someone stays home. In either case, household cash on hand looks a lot more like one…

God, it’s just hysterical the way rich people can get away with this kind of shit, but meanwhile if I lied like this on a $100,000 mortgage application I’d be blackballed by every lender in a 500 mile radius.

The living wage is a much better measure than poverty, but no one making just the living wage anywhere in America could possibly be called prosperous. They are not saving, they are certainly not in a position to send their kids to college. An income at that point remains firmly, for all practical purposes, in the…

Average base pay for a line worker at GM is $19. When GM went bankrupt contracts were restructured and new hires make a lot less money. I assume you will be pleased to hear that.

Tigers fan checking in. I have been exactly here in the not-too-distant past. Sad they got knocked out, but a bit relieved my life no longer revolved around the TV for 4.5 hours every night.

Let’s not pretend a solid majority of Trump supporters wouldn’t happily ship little Skout and Mikaylea off to be raised in a Trump-Brand All-American Yay Jesus or Whatever Boarding School.

We have this too, just in the form of college football.

A relative of mine has CNN or MSNBC on basically all day. I don’t know how she stands it or what she’s getting from it.

As a fan, the worst part for me is not the players not getting paid, but that my team is openly tanking. I’m a Tigers fan, I lived through a lot of lean years when the team sucked, mainly due to front office incompetence and penny-pinching owners (in a time when it was a lot harder to make money than it is now).

I had a lot of fun with 5, although as with so many of these open world games I never actually beat it. Just drifted away, not even because I was bored, you know.

Note that had the GOP not made a stink about it this would not have been news, these kinds of resolutions happen all the time and no one notices. The Republicans made an effort to create a problem here, to divide Americans GASP, so as to show their base they’re always on guard against those ahem uppity agitators.

When did the main objective of hunting become OpEraTor cosplay? I swear, half of the deer hunters I see around now are dressed like they’re about to parachute into the Mexican highlands to decapitate a cartel.

You’re really fixated on this, I’m not sure what definitions you’re using but there are absolutely plenty of cities of 4,000 (or less!), incorporated legally as *cities*.

My first car was an ‘84. They are awesome. Getting misty just thinking about it.

I speaks to the sickness of this country that her GoFundMe is at about $35,000 while the one for the wall has passed $20m.

That would be such a throwback to the old days of baseball I couldn’t even be mad about it.

This kid is all the proof anyone should need that America will always forgive and indeed venerate a white person, if that person leans in to being aggrieved hard enough and can avoid openly associating with, you know, the KKK and/or open Neo-Nazis.

Presumably they are going to be looking for lots of Instas of coffee cups in the diner, lit by the Rocky Mountain morning. You can definitely get that on a train.
