One of the many problems with a blanket buyout is that the people most likely to take them were senior employees with a lot of experience who had already vested in their pensions. Add in being overworked in a high stress job, and you've got a lot of vacancies in difficult, specialized areas.

That book is one of the three cookbooks I'd save if my house was burning down! The overnight whole wheat is amazing, IMHO.

You cynical humps of self-congratulation, the fucking Trumpists are performative ALL THE TIME. They set a vibe! Their vibe is "there is no law and we can break everything." God DAMN do we need a resounding counter-vibe.
