This wave is for you!!!
I heard idiots at the dog park celebrating that "he's completely cut off all drug traffic to the US"
Uh, no Walt. That's only in Fox Entertainment's reports. Not in actual reality.
An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. Itโs a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Donโt be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
so terroristic!!!

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.
We are not โgreatโ without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.
They did threaten to throw a "submarine sandwich" (what unsophisticated people call hoagies)
Seriously - listen to the sound
Nasty creature is miffed because it can't do it's terrorism at will.

โIt is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.โ
That's one of our favorite sketches since I WATCHED a very thirsty Philly cop hit on my husband once during a traffic stop (she thought i was with his friend).

If a company pays decently or does something good for the environment or community, activist shareholders can bring suit claiming the company is illegally holding down shareholder value: "They should be paying >dividends or doing buybacks"

THIS is one of the biggest problems of our time . . .

Someone posted on tiktok about how this is the most joyous news possibler, and I replied that it's only the 2nd most joyous news possible.
No one asked what the most joyous would be - we all know.
Hahaha - my dad's cousin was a personal friend of Phyllis Schlafly, and it was a riot. The cousin's husband did the dishes, (she cooked, he cleaned up - fair!) but she also dictated their every move.
Totally the boss in the house, all while spouting trad wife BS.
This is infuriating, but no one is going to do anything about it.
The people have spoken - they love guns more than children
Americans don't care.
Well, they care - they're afraid this will tarnish their precious gunz.
And this was written before the shooting this morning in Minneapolis that killed two when someone shot up a church with children in it.
