I know there’s a lot of nuance to the book and its interpretation, but I still think I could have lived my whole life without reading Wuthering Heights

This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House
*no SNAP benefits
*half benefits
*full benefits
*pause provision of benefits.
Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.

lol folks be acting like all economists care about maximizing profit for evil overlords and I'm here to tell you:

Survey says that's a lie and you need to expand your lens of who economists are probably.

If you’re a writer, it’s important to take regular breaks. Gradually increase their frequency and duration. Eventually you will have stopped writing altogether, and can take your place as a normal, decent member of society.
