< greatest country on earth Ha, good one. Which one of the two major dystopian police states are you referring to? "feel sour" - is that a chinese phrase? sounds familiar. You can interpret my comment negatively if you choose.

Seems we have some different definitions as I try to ignore most of it. To me cancel culture seems like the trend of a mob of whiners to start to whine about something until its cancelled, like the latest Dr Seuss book outrage. Now it seems

Cliffhanger. His unfinished concept of comparing money to a chair leaves readers "confused, disoriented and exploitable" enough to pitch his newsletter signup at the end. What is he selling? Just spit it out already.

Yes people need to pushback against the overly politically-correct. I think the pressure to enforce covid lockdowns is as ridiculous as these people wanting to censure Dr Seuss. Where I'm at we're back to lockdowns on Sundays only

Bueno. Thanks for sharing your perspective. You seem to be making relatively decent money there. If you want more, make some moves. I should have been more clear in that while I'm against unions I'm all for paying workers twice th

>Care to explain or elaborate? Ok. I once took a massive pay cut to go from piece-work to union hourly wages. The days were longer and overall crew production was around 1/3 of what it should be. Work availability was based on senio

Having actually worked a union job once, I'll say this: Unions suck. Bezos should fire them all and hire people that want to work harder to make more money. And try to replace each whiner with a robot.

Good point. Convenience rules. But I was certainly trained to buy peanut butter instead of putting peanuts in a blender. When the only source of food are giant super markets 95% filled with aisles of packaged processed products (be they gen

Not in the US but having hired quite a few fat guys over the years (agriculture, construction) I can say that obesity has always turned out to be a sign of them being lazy and untrustworthy, even in management positions. All drinkers mostly

Rainwater refills it, evaporation blocked via siphon. Most deserts get at least 150-250 liters of water per square meter per year, often much more. [1] The boxes supply enough water for the roots to grow down to the capillary water below. [
