rural "americans" aren't Real Americans.
"There are real and distinctive differences in people’s ways of life and their outlooks in urban and rural areas," Keith Moore writes.

"Having an up-to-date understanding of the facts is a key step to bridging this divide. Check your own knowledge by taking our quiz."

There are a lot of misconceptions and stereotypes that obscure what Americans have in common.

Many people are calling him Dead Chuck
Schumer is really an anti-leader, a vacuum of leadership, and as far as I can tell he draws his support from that. He doesn’t ask anything of anyone, he never squeezes anyone on a hard vote, he’s always the first to cave.

He’s the substitute teacher the kids love having because they can goof off.
Every day a majority of Democratic Senators wake up and decide to continue supporting Chuck Schumer as their leader

These Senate Dems are all "Now we can roll up our sleeves and begin the hard work of sitting down with our colleagues and having a real dialogue about doing the business that the people sent us here to do with common sense solutions to the problems that everyday Americans..." shut up shut up shut up

Has Still Wancil considered that my burrito taxi for my boyfriend-shaped-person and myself was almost $60 this past week in a B-tier city
And the idea that FOOD is newly out of reach is comically absurd. We spend essentially the smallest share of income on food in history! In the 1960s the average American would spend fully 20% of their income on food - mostly staple groceries, little eating out,

one of my more fun arcs was a fling with his nephew, which I really dropped the bag on that one I guess, considering how often I fly

Slightly irritated at how many children are in the park. And also that it rained. And that it’s autumn.

Groceries are a need not a want so I really don’t get people who pay attention to the prices of them, like you have to get them regardless!

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.
Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight

Once again thinking about the Ceauşescus
Breaking News: The Trump administration told states to undo any steps to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, threatening financial penalties if the states do not comply. It was unclear how that would affect the program.

I can't wait for @akbarshahidahmed.huffpost.com's book Crossing the Red Line. But even with this reporting–including that Antony Blinken raised the prospect Israel was committing ethnic cleansing–is damning. Every revelation about Biden's final year looks worse.

“I optionally drove 2000 miles to overwinter somewhere. The economy is terrible!”
I just drove 2000 miles south on my annual migration. Far fewer trucks on the road. Fewer cars/people at motels and restaurants and motels are less expensive than they have been for several years. We on Main St. are in a recession. You Financial media folks can pretend that everything is fine..BUT!

Only by donating enough money to the party in government (something small, the UK is a de-veloping country, like £1 million or so is probably enough) and even then only a barony, no hereditary peerages have been created since the 80s I believe
Is there a way to buy a peerage these days? Because I would contribute cash money to get Sean Dunn named the Earl of Sandwich
