Same *from Missouri.

I expected nothing and I was still disappointed.

I remember a time when I thought Captain Planet villains were hyperbole.

Immigration? Come on in, we’ll worry about it later!

So many takes but the legislative branch built together an immigration plan, one that involved quite a lot of money to the border to help enforce it and crack down. Both Dems and GOP worked together on that one. Then Trump said to bail on it, that immigration was a winning ticket for Presidency and congress Republicans sank the bill.

So.... legit the thing you're bitching about is a political tool by the Republicans.

My dad is in his 70s. When a suspicious message comes through, he asks a question that only the family would know, or sometimes asks questions that has no relation to the family to see if I answer normally.

It doesn't fix anything globally, all I can say is I appreciate being raised by a paranoid nerd who expected this sort of thing in his lifetime.

Can't be added on with multiple "Once in a generation" natural disasters happening on a yearly basis with temp records breaking yearly, nations with the power to demolish the world rattling sabers over a fight that's been going before we were born, zero chance of moving upwards in the crushing capitalism, all the while the leadership is fighting over identity politics instead of acknowledging any of the problems. Surely none of those are add on factors.

I mean, public trust is dropping. Which meant it went from "Ugh, this will be useless" to "Fuck, this will break everything!"

Turbotax, H&R Block, and the other tax companies are massively wealthy companies that actively lobby to push laws to keep them from being simple. There are states that they have managed to bar the same thing from happening in.

Kidney stones, gallstones, whatever the fuck the body does of "Lets build a rock inside the body that can fuck us up" needs to stop.

Friend of mine just had to shell out $3000 for prescription drugs just for survival. Yes he's on insurance.

I remember a time when Captain Planet villains seemed ridiculous.

My mechanic buddies all swear by Toyota, the Prius is rated the kind of car least likely to seen in a shop and pretty much any other Toyota is bullet proof.

Flipside, I will never own a Nissan. Worked at an auto auction for 6 months as an inspector. One thing that was hammered on us is check engine oil even before it went to the auctions mechanic for sludge. The reason it was hammered so hard is because it was a problem. Only with Nissans. In 6 months, hundreds of cars a day, Nissans were the only ones with the engine sludge issue.
