Oh that’s right! Great episode.

It also helps to be familiar with evangelical worship music. Strong Jesus-is-my-boyfriend vibes in many of those lyrics.

I’m job shopping and the effort feels futile. I am fortunate to have one already, although it is quite stressful and the pay is low enough that I must work a part time job as well. I worry about those who depend on medicaid to stay alive and will have the added stress of finding 80 hours of work per month in a depressed market come January.

I’m glad you brought up personal responsibility, however if you’re buying something from the grocery store, unless it’s raw ingredients, it has shit in it. Even then, in the US the only way to completely avoid nasty shit in food is to produce it yourself or purchase from a local farmers market. Unfortunately many people don’t have the resources to do that. But to your credit, we do seem to be developing some sort of allergy to personal responsibility, especially in regards to personal health and fitness.

First I reduced quality, next I reduced variety, then I reduced quantity. Not sure what to do now. As Jurgis from The Jungle would say, I guess “I will work harder.”

All,

I don’t typically use salutations or sign-offs, but I’m gonna start using this.

Anyway,

My startup is 2 months away from ASI but we still need $12T seed funding and all of the water in Lake Erie. Pls help.

For both. I wear cheap business casual to work to present a particular image: appear like I have my shit together (I don’t) but I’m also budget conscious. I wear the same outfit every day (for me) because I hate making fashion decisions and crave simplicity. I have five of the same shirt and five of the same pant. Weekends I have a different uniform that says “fit, economical, comfortable, safe.” Two of the same pant and shirt.

I use mine for side work.

Amen brother. People who believe Left Behind “theology” will believe literally fucking anything.

THANK YOU. 19th century dispensationalist dumbass innovations are frickin annoying.

Tractor man, stupid dogs, horse people, fast truck, guy who waves, people across the way.

Yeah, I’m rural

I am poor in the US. My family is on Medicaid. Depending on household size, a family qualifies for Medicaid based on household income. Renewal is a pain in the ass. We always get denied initially, then have to fight for reinstatement. It’s scary. I have a kid that depends on medicine to stay alive. I’m working on growing my side business to pull us out of the poorhouse but it’s a dance. I have to time the growth to occur between renewal periods. I could grow enough to get kicked off Medicaid for good but not enough to afford private insurance. So I have to either stay poor or have phenomenal growth in a six-month period. If I fail, I could lose everything and my kid could die. Poverty: 0/5 stars.

In a perfect world, yes, but at least where I live it’s easier to get rid of something by making it expensive and drowning it in red tape and tax code. People love their freedumb.

Simple solution: tax the shit out of short term rental income.

A) this is the western view B) I first read “sin free” as “free to sin” which actually made more sense to me since the biggest assholes I know are highly devoted Christians.

Don’t you know we need to train these kids how to work during their commute? /s

I’d rather my part of the public money go to help an alcoholic neighbor than to subsidize a certain Coastal Elite’s habit of buying golf courses and ballrooms.

He must have read the comments on a Babylon Bee post.

Thanks I couldn’t remember the title.
