I had a really interesting conversation with my conservative, boomer, mom the other day. She talked about being young and working a job and on payday she would cash her check and the first thing she would do is get an avocado and sprout sandwich from a local restaurant down in southern California in the 60s.

And they need to keep asking questions that piss him off.

Except this is not true. Immigration does not depress wages. It boosts the economy.

I'm against immigration (for purely economic, not for racist reasons!)

I really hope you are being sarcastic here.

I'm on the 7th and most recent.

The thru line meanders a bit, but not too bad. I wish I had read them chronological instead of in order (5 and 6 are swapped, and 6 is a bit different tone)

I think of them as popcorn books. Very light, quick reads. I actually read the first two on a flight back from Europe. Definitely fun, somewhat predictable/formulaic but it doesn't take anything away for me.

I had this when St George still owned them, but it was good. https://hangarone.com/spirits/buddhas-hand-citron-vodka/

Oh! Enforcement is a joke, no doubt, but that doesn't mean it is legal, just makes the government work hard for it and since they were strapped (now scrapped), they don't pursue action against these fuckers.

It's because they used the prequel bullshit by Kevin J. Anderson as a basis. He is a shit writer.

I would much rather see a God Emperor series. There is so much you could do with that.

I really miss our used book store. It was tiny but packed, and it had that smell.

I don't think that is accurate. I am not a lawyer but I believe that it is collusion between competitors with the intent to manipulate the labor market.

So they are trying to force the company to admit, "no we are still committed to anti-consumer policies to boost profits", is that the point?

yeah, why be explicit about the illegal collusion.
