Steinbeck is 🔥.
“Just” 3.8%. Federal Reserve’s official longer-run inflation goal is 2% per year, approximately half of that.

No amount of free hoodies and cargo pants could get Fetterman to say that right now.

“… in commercial real esatate.” That’s so adorable.

Don’t tell me you expect me to suspend my disbelief… during a movie!

Sure, but think about the money you’ll be saving when you’re paying all of your medical bills out of pocket with no insurance.

Exactly!

I’d never read this before. 2014 paradoxically seems so long ago, and also not soon enough. Somehow, I realized this about evangelicals during the 1992 presidential election. A book by Sara Diamond and documentary by Antony Thomas prophetically clued me in to the impending evangelical bankruptcy.

I follow wastewater, and carry an Aranet CO2 meter to help me decide when mask. The biggest mistake we made was polarizing on masking, rather than utilizing science to determine safe metrics for when, and when not to mask up. It’s why many people legitimately feel like they can’t ever remove masks.

Here are the Covid wastewater levels from the three counties surrounding the county I’m currently in. I can’t mask continuously and, at the same time assert that I believe in science-based mitigation measures. People would think I was hysterical and I’d lose credibility.
