That is weird, thanks for the heads up. I think I had two tabs open maybe? Even weirder it got upvotes.

One of the facilities under review in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, would shift mail processing services to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 90 miles away – a move postal workers and union officials have criticized.

Lehigh Valley, Lancaster, and Allentown are becoming bluer by the day. Traditionally home to fiscally conservative, socially liberal moderates, and are seeing more mail in voter registrations. State law also probibits mailed votes from being counted, or even opened, before election day, which has led to delays and confusion about elections in the state.

Reduced trust in the post office means reduced democratic votes in a swing state.

I've never seen the word "folx" used in print. I have heard corporate guidance on using inclusive terms like "folks" instead of "ladies and gentlemen" for group meetings and emails. "Colleauges and friends" is another one.

If I saw someone write "folx" I would assume they were joking or trying to piss off anti-woke dipshits.

I'm hoping to send my kids to college in the next 15 years, so I don't ever expect to retire.

I think it depends entirely on the length of the flight, and whether or not there is any turbulence. You fly to Hawaii, and everyone is happy to be there. You take a commuter hop from BWI to Atlanta, and nobody says a fucking peep. Newark to London, meh. Chicago to Athens, woo hoo.

Because you cannot convince someone that the economy is doing well when they think it's not. Inflation was extremely high for too long, and the wage gap may be closing but it's still absurdly high. "There's a tumor in your brain, but we made it smaller by a third." It sounds like objective progress, but when the tumor is in your brain causing psychological and physical disability. Celebrating the progress makes it seem like you don't care about the remaining problems.

When is an ad not a prompt?

If they could cut down on the deer population, too, that would be nice.

What if I'm not actually ashamed to enjoy it?
