I hope he does a great job for NYC. Just happy to see someone, anyone with ideas these days

Quinces? I haven't eaten one in many years. I can still remember the scent just a tiny bit though. Very evocative.

That seems like a really good fit for Munchkin. I hope it brings in a lot of Critical Role fans to the game.

I'm told that California is working on its own EBT system but the Feds sued them and stores since its a new program and maybe temporary are chary about taking it

Its only a rumor. My source is a good guy, honest but reports bad info sometimes

Funny but 25-30% of those guys are active duty military or veterans that's 4x-5x the general population 7x for leaders

Up to 40% of leaders are vets as well

I would have freaked out so yeah I get it.

Lovely. Thanks. I think the late 19th early 20th (Pre WW1 mostly) was the peak of fine art painting

Before the war time ugliness and "modernity" ground so much beauty to dust

Not funny. Hope you feel better soon.

Government at all levels is 40% of US GDP. Getting rid of most of that won't increase the GDP or economic activity but gut it
Its not something that can be worked around. Its a natural product of tech driven efficiency.
If we keep adding tech we'll need more state to have an economy at all.

Also they are being handled in a rather kak handed way . We do need a manufacturing base but that takes years to build and requires subsidy and control of the looters which this administration and the Republicans have failed at , if it intended to at all

Getting the Right on board with protecting workers is hard but even pulling some away from the crab pot mentality to "we've been screwed" and getting their heads in the game would be of benefit.

Problem with tariffs will bring back manufacturing jobs is that it probably won't

Some of these men fit the creeper /Incel to a T but there is no way its that many.

I've seen enough Gen Z packs out in the wild at the local eateries and such and they seem normal enough . Just not in relationships

Maybe I'm wrong but low birth and marriage rates suggest not

As many as 50% of guys 18-30 ? That doesn't seem right. Also a lot of guys aren't virgins but don't have healthy sex lives though both are anecdotal

Also the disconnect between young men and women is fairly well documented. Men want a family, women a career

That's fine but its super odd

That is something Incels might say but its still true
That also isn't me.
I'm a voluntary celibate and have no interest in relationships or sex at this time. If I wanted sex, I'd get some in Nevada

I'm also not a virgin though virgin is not much of an insult

California has run Asian people, African American, Latinos, Trans Woman (Caitlyn Jenner) and others.

There is even a gay wing (Log Cabin Republicans)

If you keep thinking its about race and its still 1968, you'll lose a lot

Its about rich vs poor. The only color in play is green and who has it

A serious basic income economy can and will still be a market one but will be mixed in ways we are not used too and will require heavy people pressure to make happen or to keep it

If it doesn't, prices will just go up by $500 a month because they can
The exception being such a low level of work that the deflation is destroying the entire economy
Even than you'll get a lot of lets fire our customers as this is more profitable. Its partially why eggs etc are stubbornly high
