You should have to earn a sports car or a PS5. You should not have to earn healthy food, clean water, or a roof over your head.
I don't want to say of my society, "everyone indulges and has their whims fulfilled at all times." I want to say, "nobody goes hungry or freezes to death in the gutters."

It bewilders me immensely that so many users here have decided not only to clumsily adopt a new term where "tweet" is already culturally entrenched, but that they've settled on "skeet" and genuinely believe that to be better.

I love all the quintessentially American responses to this ice storm. Just a bunch of "you can't tell ME what to do!" and anti-intellectual agitation against the idea that educated meteorologists know what they're talking about.
