This is because of the Reagan-era tax code changes that elevated the investor class above the working class. Capital gains from investments are taxed at a much lower rate than wages/salary, so executives prefer stock options to cash. It’s why, for example, Tom Cruise makes movies via his production company instead of…

You mean the error message isn’t “unable to blah, blah, blah”? 

In this context, does “being great parents” mean that they hire a good nanny?  Because there’s nothing in their past that suggests they will do much more than that, other than John screwing the nanny at some point and Oliva banging the pediatrician.

Getting my Pixel 5 last holiday season was the first time I was able to re-use the case from a previous phone because the new one wasn’t massively larger.  The Pixel 5 was really the only option for a phone that still fit in a shirt pocket.

John Larroquette.

His work with with Julia Duffy on Newhart was fantastic.

Utah leads the nation in angry & forgotten 5th children.

Still the all time champ of license plate designs:

I hope this guy is happy with his ‘22 Bronco, which is being built in the sketchiest of circumstances.  Plants opening & closing, workers constantly jerked around on their shifts, highly questionable materials sourcing, and sitting in a parking lot for 4 months half-finished while waiting for a dozen chips.  Model…

You should have gone for the hat instead.

My only negative response to her being cast in this was ,“does she have to be in everything? Can’t another actress do this just as well?” I’m sure she’ll do fine, as the role is pre-defined and super juicy, but that also makes it a good part for a lesser known actress.

Have you considered reading the part of the article that mentions the idiot driver high-centered his trailer on the tracks? I’ve seen tons of idiots stop in places they shouldn’t, too. If you break down directly on the tracks it is because you stopped there, and you should never, ever stop on railroad tracks.

Driver’s Ed has always covered this in the section titled “DON’T STOP ON THE FUCKING RAILROAD TRACKS YOU GODDAM MORON!!!”

Slightly off-topic, but I’ve always assumed the tea served at Buckingham Palace has got to be the best shit ever.

He really should have spent the entire time golfing, especially on Sundays when all of his supporters were totally in church being righteous.
