Any vehicle larger than a sedan should require a special license. Minivans and pick up trucks included.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Is there a term for when journalists become the story, and then begin to think of themselves as celebrities?. Same as that person who got suspended for three days this week. Is it because all their journalist friends are boosting them, and thats how they gauge news?

I get unreasonably annoyed in a SWAG situation where it's not for everyone. Oh a bunch of people got company branded sweaters? But just those who walked by the HR office on one particular day with no notice? Cool, very fair.
