The real villains here are the absurdly rich. Especially those who find ways to pay less in taxes.

The top 1% are the problem.

Tax the rich.

This is my boomer MIL. She is honestly one of the kindest people I know. . She votes pro-environment/pro-social issues and has given (almost beyond her means) everything she can to virtually anyone who needs it. She has almost nothing left, and is a stones throw from couch surfing. I have no idea what’ll happen when her health starts to fail. As frustrated as I am with boomers, I try to remember her and the good she has tried to bring about in the world.

I’m not a knower. Context?

Well, if Gen X and Millennials wanted their own fortunes they should have planned ahead like boomers and been born back when a house cost $7,500.

This was my Outer Wilds experience:

Got excited until I realized it wasn’t the Outer Wilds…

Outer Worlds is a fun game. Outer Wilds is a game I won’t ever forget.

It’s not that powerful of a jet of water. I mean, I’m sure there is some, but if you’re doing it right, only the parts you want to get wet are getting wet. Besides, the alternative is like using a paper towel to clean peanut butter from a shag carpet.

I’ll second the idea that boredom isn’t always bad, and that it can often lead to new ideas and experiences. But if you really feel the need to do something for the person, try gifting experiences like food tours, trial hobbies or sports (curling, photography, etc).

7 digits represent.

This feels a lot like boomer humor. Please tell me we’re not turning into boomers.

Taco Bell, but not from like an actual Taco Bell, from one of those food court “express” ones with the limited menu that’s always out of something like sour cream.

They could start by at least following the same rules every other federal judge must follow. The fact that they don’t simply agree to those rules and then work on strengthening the rules for members of the highest court in the land shows how disingenuous Kavanaugh’s claims are.
