This is where ceding ground on stuff like trans participation in sports leads.

It doesn’t achieve a middle ground. It emboldens more attacks.

Every time some big chain goes out of business, check to see if they were bought by private equity 10-20 years ago. The answer is almost always yes.

These companies don't go under because of their business, but because leveraged buyouts are a scam.

"Are you going to take off those headphones so we can discuss this like mature adults, Harry? Or, are you just going to sit there like a petulant child?”

None too pleased with this proposition, the waitress said β€œno”
β€œNicht einmal ein bisschen”
Once my wife realized she was trying to say β€œDarf ich ein wenig mit dir sprechen” the embarrassment was so thick you could cut it with a knife

The first words out of her mouth were β€œDarf ich ein bisschen mit dir schlafen?”
The waitress, a few decades our senior, was very confused and ask do you know what you are ask. So my wife repeated again β€œDarf ich ein bisschen mit dir schlafen?”

My wife tells this story. She studied German in college and we went to a local German restaurant. As we were finishing up, talking about how tired we were, she told me she was going to hang back a second and talk to a waitress with a strong accent
