Speaks to something deeply wrong with capitalism that Lampert was allowed to annihilate the value of this company to less than nothing while still walking away with hundreds of millions in profits for himself from the saga.
Sears had more than 3,400 stores in 2005 -- then it was purchased by a hedge fund magnate.

why are there rarely articles written about liberals in red state urban centers (e.g. Salt Lake City) being gerrymandered into some rural conservative representative?

Does that moron think the DMV is some federal monolith?

Secondly, it’s about a billion times easier to get a DMV appointment and get in/out with what you need than it is to go to the doctor under the private health system we have now.

I’m not the first to say that the DMV is also often a place where guys like these must show polite respect to middle-class, nonwhite women employed there, and they hate that a lot.

Authors been dunking on this all day, but let me say to my fellow white men: there are roughly 95M of us in America. NINETY. FIVE. MILLION. If you can't answer the question of what makes YOU unique in the year of our Lord 2025, during peak Attention Economy, God help you cause less diversity won't.

One of my favorite presents ever—my dad found and framed this pic of my mother @sunminkimes.bsky.social at a Seattle courthouse after she passed her US citizenship test in 1981. Like so many of the people who come here to start a new life, she is the best of us—the bravest, strongest person I know.

I don't think there's any understanding of the First Amendment under which this ("our Savior") is constitutional. Yet they don't care, and they've eliminated all the attorneys who would've objected.

Kudos to the Goldwater and Cato Institutes for condemning it.

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

ICE agent recognized out Christmas shopping—throws tantrum when citizens profile him.

"We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say.

"I'm not doing anything but walking, leave me alone!" he yells.
