It's not discrimination if they're uniquely unqualified due to their sub-standard education.

I'm just going to assume that anyone who goes in the next couple years was ready to spill the beans on Boeing.

I really appreciate these attempts to help visualize fabulous sums of money. It reminds me of https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/

Maybe not the 5 richest, but a random sampling from the top 50 (we can work out the exact mechanics). Keeps it spicier, and the ultra-wealthy love feeling like they're gambling.

From my limited experience, Minnesota is tremendously more progressive than their neighbors who make a really big deal about (poor quality) cheese. I met some younger folks in the Twin Cities who had escaped an otherwise bleak trajectory after growing up in Wisconsin.

If you haven't been, Minneapolis and St. Paul are beautiful cities filled with some lovely people. (They also had some terrorist cells some years back. People need something to do in the cold months, I suppose.) But there's culture and history and decent food and people are really kind and welcoming. And although the winters are cold, getting around in the skyway is a neat idea, despite making the downtown feel like a big indoor mall.

I haven't been to Wisconsin but I know people who have. It sounds like they're trying in some places (Milwaukee) but sometimes trying just isn't enough.

But it's okay for a pillow salesman to be involved in politics?

Also, most people use blades for more than one day's shave. I think more like 3 - 7, depending on the blade and how picky the shaver (I get more than seven shaves per blade).

I have my doubts that this was fentanyl since no officers were improbably injured during the field test.

It's such a satisfying victory (that cannot be celebrated or even brought up again)

Is that a comedy show?
