Retire? What is that? I don't anticipate ever being able to do that.

Especially since we can't afford to buy houses until we're 40, these days.

The 100-mile thing doesn't work like that. It's just the range in which CBP can do warrantless stops and searches of things like vehicles. It has nothing to do with where they can operate.

One of the proposals local to me claims that they'll be green because they'll provide free heat to the neighborhood. Good thing we don't have summers in Michigan, right?

The right-wing refrain of 'uh, well, maybe they were minors, but they weren't YOUNG children' is not a good look in any of the contexts they've used it for lately. The fact that there are multiple contexts is, itself, fucked up.

I'm going to be paying $300 more a month WITH 85% employer-paid insurance. It makes me heartsick to think about folks who have to buy it themselves. It mentally takes me back to before Obamacare, me being uninsured and underusing my asthma meds because I couldn't afford to refill them.

And now it sounds like you're in board to cave for nothing. Are you fucking kidding me?
