Corner the market then lower your prices. It's basic economics!

1000 forks plus packaging is 4lbs.

250 forks per pound.

Standard forklift capacity is 5000lbs.

250 x 5000 = 1,250,000 forks.

Maybe slightly realistically and safely, due to load height and placement restrictions, let's just call it between 750,000 and 1,000,0000 forks.

Forks can fork a lot of forks. Fork.

I mean my wife sure is more productive around the house on amphetamines and morphine, and my kids sure are easier to deal with at bedtime when they take their heroin.

Basically every time a psilocybin study is conducted for use in mental health applications it's found to be beneficial. It's just that the DEA doesn't give a fuck and refuse to change the schedule of the drug even with countless studies showing it's effectiveness, as well as countless doctors, researchers, and institutes recommending they reduce psilocybin to schedule III.

Also, we all know what they were doing with that thumbnail.

Too much on weddings...

The USA government considers marriage a tax and law advantage. Thats all it is. A mutually agreed upon union to gain a capital advantage. Don't blow your savings to play dress up and get your family drunk. Don't throw a party for everyone.

Marry the one you love for the $35 marriage license and be done with it. You still end up being married, with tax benefits. Yes you won't have the memories of stressing yourself out just to go through with it, but you will still have your money, and a better chance at having a good life with your piece of shit spouse that only works to spend your remaining time and money driving you into the ground until you get the courage after 4 years to stand up and divorce them. Luckily for you, you saved a bunch of money to pay your lawyer.

I'm tired. Good night everyone.

"And how long ago was your last doctor's visit?"

"Uh, 7-ish years ago?"

" Great. That'll be $350."

October would be what I would consider too late, but for a dog in a suit, well, I think we could all make an exception.

It's not really laundering because the income was legal. It's more like a game of Russian roulette blackmail to allow a negotiable tax evasion rate.

There are a lot of figures left out of the article, but it sounds like a preemptive bailout to handle a company fully prepared to cause the rolling blackouts that would also damage themselves. Plus those credits can most likely be sold and bought like any other commodity, only a bit less regulated. Given a few years of climate change those credits will be extremely valuable. Then again, I'm just a speculative jerk on the worldwide web with an opinion. I could be wrong.

Mobile has extensions too. Ublock on Firefox mobile is a god send.

There's a "rest of the fucking owl" feeling throughout this whole article. The statistics are straightforward, but all of the reasons proposed by the writer are anecdotal.

Absence rates can rise for any number of reasons, but the one giant glaring one that is not given consideration is that covid still exists. The pandemic is not "over", the world is just beyond caring.

Just think for a moment about what happens when you get a notification that your child's classroom has active spread of covid. How seriously does your kids school take covid? How effective is the current vaccine with the current variant that is prevalent in your area? Would you send your kid to school knowing they would get sick? Would you want your kid to get sick and infect the rest of your family? How many sick days do you have left for the year? Can you afford to be sick? Is them missing school for a few days worth the risk of losing your job? Will repeated covid infection affect you, your kids, or the rest of your family in the future to a greater detriment than missing a few more days of school? Do you have immune compromised family that you also have to take care of? Did you already lose part of your family from covid? How close are you to adequate health facilities that could take care of you and your family if you are sick? Do you have anybody that's willing to take care of your family knowing you are sick? Can you afford it?

Have you noticed that many of the states that have a far higher rate increase of absenteeism are also those that have either very large or very small classroom sizes? Have you noticed that they also seem to correlate with poverty rates? Have you noticed that covid rates are not tracked at all anymore in many states?

All of what I just said is hypothetical, just like the article, but those are all very real thoughts for many Americans. I have kids and if I found that covid was actively spreading through the classroom or school, I would much rather keep them home. If they get sick, we will most likely all get sick. If we all get sick we set in motion cycle of viruses that sets us back months, and possibly hurts our community. We risk our health, careers, and livelihood for a couple days at school. We weigh the risks as we see fit.

We can't keep pretending that covid isn't still an issue. We can't act like it only existed for those 2 years. We definitely can't be ignorantly watering down issues by attributing their cause to targeted talking ponts.

I just told my wife 20 minutes ago that I was sad because he was dragged through the mud by media years ago and "it's not like he was in his 70s". Turns out he was 70. He looked damn good for a 70 year old.
