I agree and I’m happy to pay more. I just hope this doesn’t go away.

As someone who lives here and doesn’t drive, services like this are extremely valuable to me
Before covid I switched jobs. Got about $12k more. Months go by, COVID hits and I can’t do my job (didn’t have the flexibility and daycare was shut down). So I get my old job back but said I’d do it for $X where X was another $10k above from the new job.
Switching jobs definitely works. It sucks giving up a sure thing and the comfort zone though
Should we tell him?
He was essentially Newt Gingrich’s coworker for a while (worked at the same lobby). What a fall from grace.
NY case likely will be retried and this doesn’t affect the 16 years or whatever in California.
Some anecdotes from my experiences during this time:
I lived and worked in downtown Chicago at the time, right next to the Board of Trade. The local OWS was set up right next to it. I remember the traders had dumped out a bunch of McDonald’s job applications from the window onto them below. I would walk by them everyday for months and absolutely no one was paying them attention. It was a small group of people and eventually one day just like that, they were gone.
A week or so after OWS started I was visiting NYC and we ended up at Zuccotti Park where it all started. I think there were more people selling pins, buttons, and various arts and crafts than there were actual protesters. I remember my FIL asking each one if they were trying to supplement a living or if they were purely a for-profit capitalist venture taking advantage of an opportunity at an anti-capitalist protest. I just couldn’t stop laughing. He was serious.
Went to a wedding in Tulsa a few months in the whole OWS movement and their main park had an encampment of tents with signs but didn’t see any activity.
The big thing I noticed was there was virtually no people of color present, no organization, was a gathering of almost entirely white (mostly young) Leftists, that like usual, failed to cobble together a coalition from other demographics and really just seemed like a spectacle.
‘The Bonnie Situation’ from Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino is in this meme and is in the clip from the movie. B’Elanna is a Klingon from Voyager. The word Klingon is a replacement for another word in the clip, I’ll just leave it at that. The title of the post works well because B’Elanna and Bonnie start with the same letter.
You’re like the crossfit-vegan reply guy at the party, aren’t you?
I’m all of that but I shut my fucking mouth and don’t judge others.
Chiefs fan here. Love this move. Freed up $20MM cap space. The compensation was fine especially for his age. Chiefs GM keeps drafting extremely well (Snead was a 4th rounder).
One less Trump voter. Put the guillotine on PPV to subsidize M4A.
