I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I'd bought more, just to be safe.

It also gets rid of useless administration and enforcement costs.

Dollar Tree, too. A friend of mine worked there for two weeks, quit when her first paycheck came as a debit card.

I'm having a tough time imagining a scenario where you're in too much of a hurry to spend 30 seconds returning the cart, but not too much of a hurry to buy your merchandise and load it in your vehicle.

In your opinion, who is worse?

Jaffe always struck me as a perpetual adolescent. The two GoW games he worked on were great for the time, but the stories were shallow excuses to showcase as much gore as possible. His other big property, Twisted Metal, was genre-defining gameplay but any narrative was just edgelord violence and/or crass humor.

The last "big" project I remember coming down the pipe from him was Drawn to Death, which took his signature juvenile tastes and combined them with horrible gameplay and eye-blistering art direction. As far as I'm aware, he hasn't worked on a game since.

I'm not saying the new GoW games are perfect, but I wouldn't say Jaffe has a trusted critical eye.

I have been saying this for years. The Senate is supposed to be where small states get an outsized voice, but by freezing the size of the House, small states have been getting an outsized voice in both houses on Congress and they've been getting a disproportionately high number of electors in the Electoral College.

Based on the 2020 census, Wyoming is the least populous state at 576,851 people. If that were used as the smallest number of people that could be in a district, the US's total population of 335,073,176 would be divided into 580 congressional districts. Over a third of the population is being underrepresented because the House hasn't added seats in almost 100 years.

Personally I feel that if someone is chronically ill with a debilitating illness, the most humane thing we can do is allow them the choice of assisted suicide.

I think the most humane thing to do would be to treat them with the best care we as a society can provide without forcing them into massive debt.

Where I live, all care has a six month wait list. I started a new job with new insurance back in April, still haven't been able to get in anywhere to see a new PCP. My dentist canceled an appointment on me last week and rescheduled it for February.

People say socialized medicine leads to long wait times to see doctors. Well, I'm not seeing them now anyway, so at least it's less or of my pocket.

I'd love to, but the text fades out after the first paragraph and is replaced with "This post is for members only."

That's because you're reading the chart wrong. It's showing the change in wealth for those age brackets across time.

People that were 40 in 1990 had a bigger share of the wealth than people who are 40 in 2020.

Over 70% of Earth's surface is water. Water is reflective. The Sun is protecting itself!
