YEs, our process sucks, for the exact same reason. They want it to be painful to make people hate taxes

I am not religious at all, but I said to a friend the other day I feel like I'm becoming a "christian without faith". Love your neighbor. Help the poor. Tell the truth. Virtue signal. Actual christ-like behavior, not whatever nonsense the American evangelical movement has become

people have got to realize that we are not getting Medicare for All without taxing the middle class. we are not getting free child care without taxing the middle class. we are not getting better schools and free college without taxing the middle class.

I make $95,000 a year. raise my taxes, please.

Reagan continues to haunt this country from the grave. We can't have nice things because of our stupid anti-tax culture. Public services are good. We can afford to pay for them. Schools, parks, roads, libraries, functional and well-maintained infrastructure, we should have the best in the world.

Who even is their flagship signature shoe now? Lebrons never seemed that popular since they are tanks, Kyries were huge but he’s gone. KD I guess? I never see anyone wearing the Giannis shoe

Jordan brand has Luka and Tatum but I never see those either

Yeah, the Riverside in Milwaukee was perfect size and sound for a band like them

They played a brewery around the corner from my house in Milwaukee with about 75 capacity on the Alligator tour, but I didn't know them yet and missed it

I've done both fancy theater and Red Rocks. The latter with Frightened Rabbit opening, a big party. The former with perfect sound

It's between Boxer and Alligator, and I am giving extreme side-eye to anyone who doesn't have those two at the top

Youtube just autoplayed something called "Chayce Beckham" in an otherwise good playlist and this is a hate crime

I was too many beers in and ran into Paul Hinojos from At The Drive In in the crowd and every time I saw them after that I had to avoid him because I embarrassed myself so badly

I got them in my mid-30s, you have to put your name on the meth lab list and get the good drugs from the pharmacy, OTC ain't it

I was a huge Minor Threat fan, and had been hearing about Ian's new band, but it was hard to get them in the early 90s in Kenosha, Dischord didn't have great distro then.

Some of these songs I can tell why they re-recorded, but a handful of them are arguably better

Anyways buy it
