We're starting on a creepy note.

Well, that doesn't look good 😬

Just a reminder that in 2007, Congress voted to raise the minimum wage. The final increase was in 2009. That was 16 years ago. This is the longest stretch without an increase since the minimum wage was first established in 1938.

Mmmm... flesh eating bacteria

I spend some of today looking at InfoWars stuff because of the news and now Amazon thinks I'm interested in this:

I dunno. Something witty. I'm tired and dreading the next 4 years.
