The number of people I know in America who "can't" drink just water and have to have some syrup flavored drink instead is astounding. Dude, you're complaining about your weight. Maybe cut back on the sugar for one drink per day.

It's a good thing a bunch of Dems folded to reopen the government so people wouldn't go hungry.

Good job guys, you got played, again.

despite overwhelming opposition from union members

It sounds to me like the author needs to look up "overwhelming" in the dictionary.

As a friend of mine says: "The American Bar Association is a very agree-to-disagree organization. If the ABA is warning about an imminent collapse of the rule of law, we are down to studs and wires."

I like how this is posed as a question even though the CEO is supposed to be responsible for the company's fortunes by default. That's why they're paid so much, right?

Fun fact: Trans-Siberian Orchestra was born out of the band Savatage.

The unanswered question is: what are we going to do about it?

Unfortunately the answer looks to be: Not much.

I broke like a 15 year streak of not giving Tom Cruise any money to watch the last one, and boy did that movie fucking suck. Given the choice of finding out the ending and never thinking about that shitty movie again I'm going to pick the latter.

Am I supposed to care about the Fauci museum exhibit?

No, I care about being able to rely on the federal government doing what it said it would do. So that if I get a federal contract I know that I'm not going to bankrupt my company by following through on my side of the deal, never knowing if they're going to renege on their part.

The Fauci museum is more than halfway through the period the money was supposed to be spent during. Does that mean we have spent $90K to get nothing? That doesn't sound so fiscally conservative.

Also, fuck the Daily Mail for propagating bullshit talking points about COVID being created in a US government lab in China (long established as false.)

It's great that you have the skills to do that, but we both know that most people buying smart home gadgets don't have those skills. I'd prefer those people to have a safe by default setup, which is why I advocate for Zigbee and Z-Wave.
