This is so wrong that all pervious definitions of the word wrong will now have to be recalibrated just to compensate for how wrong this is.
Medicine is more expensive because you get more and newer medicine, housing is expensive because we don't build houses, and childcare is more expensive because the childcarers are being paid more.

If we had actual political parties in the USA instead of a collection of private clubs then members could recall Schumer's ass with a vote of no confidence. Instead this quisling fuck takes the momentum of a massive Democratic victory and shits on it and sits there smiling.

Column: With Thanksgiving coming up, you may have noticed online posts about whether it's okay to charge guests for dinner.
It's part of a larger trend that, depending on your point of view, is either a major breach of etiquette or simply pragmatic.

Column | I’m on a budget but I want to host Thanksgiving dinner. Can I charge guests?
The trend of transferring financial responsibility from the host to the guest is turning fellowship into a monetary affair.
