my mom's liquor cabinet

le sigh
a shelf holds some liquor bottles, but they're outnumbered by giant Listerine bottles. There's Cointreau, a bottle of Meiomi red wine and a mostly empty bottle of probably brandy?

this woman sits in the dark to save on energy costs yet APPROVES OF THE JOB TRUMP IS DOING

unteachable

The effort to keep up with higher prices feels relentless to Teri Kopp, who lives in Southbury, Conn., and works as an administrator at a synagogue. "I'm tired," she said. Kopp and her husband Bill, an HVAC technician, earn a combined $115,000 a year. They often sit in the dark with only strings of LED lights on to save on electric costs. She is considering painting rocks to send to friends as Christmas gifts. Their biggest vacation this year, a road trip to Maine, was mostly covered by cash back from a shopping-rewards program. Kopp, 59 years old, doesn't see any way to quickly pay off the $15,000 in credit-card debt the family took on largely to cover medical bills for knee surgeries. She also has $30,000 in debt from her daughter's undergraduate degree in biology, which has yet to yield any job offers in a tough labor market for new graduates. Kopp voted for Trump last November in part because she wasn't happy with how Biden han- dled the economy. She approves of the job Trump is doing but is skeptical that it will lead to any relief on costs soon. "I think Trump has a hard nut to crack to bring all this stuff down," she said.

Wilson Jones voted for Trump - all three times. "I voted for Trump all three times. Yep. I did," he admits. "But I literally was in the voting booth. And I rapped my knuckles and the Trump one hurt more, and that was the one that I voted for. Because it was just, it was so disgusting and, and I hate to say that, but that's literally how I made that choice." Even after losing his business to Trump's policies, he stands by his vote: "Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would've voted for President Trump again."

JFC, Larry Summers has been a long-form twat

some hypotheses as to why we observe what we observe without seeing this through the kind of judgmental tendency that inevitably is connected with all our common goals of equality. It is after all not the case that the role of women in science is the only example of a group that is significantly underrepresented in an important activity and whose underrepresentation contributes to a shortage of role models for others who are considering being in that group. To take a set of diverse examples, the data will, 1 am confident, reveal that Catholics are substantially underrepresented in investment banking, which is an enormously high-paying profession in our society; that white men are very substantially underrepresented in the National Basketball Association; and that Jews are very substantially underrepresented in farming and in agriculture. These are all phenomena in which one observes underrepresentation, and I think it's important to try to think systematically and clinically about the reasons for underrepresentation. There are three broad hypotheses about the sources of the very substantial disparities that this conference's papers document and have been documented before with respect to the presence of women in high-end scientific professions. One is what I would call the-I'll explain each of these in a few moments and comment on how important I think they are-the first is what I call the high-powered job hypothesis. The second is what I would call different availability of aptitude at the high end, and the third is what I would call different socialization and patterns of discrimination in a search. And in my own view, their importance probably ranks in exactly the order that I just described.

Watch Trump market value this shit at $1 because he's a cheap mf
According to a document from the Congressional Research Service gifts from foreign governments aren't actually property of the president. The document states: 'A tangible gift of more than minimal value accepted for reasons of protocol or courtesy may not be kept as a personal gift, however, but is considered accepted on behalf of and property of the United States, and in the case of such a gift for the President or the President's family, is handled by the National Archives and Records Administration'. After a gift has been accepted it is stored in the National Archives while they are in-office. Once their term has ended the collection moves to a Presidential Library. Occasionally a president may not want to part with a particular item and they are given the opportunity to purchase it back at market value.

person who voted for Trump because racism (the other posts not seen here make that horribly clear), posted a crowing "yes I voted for this and it's better than I expected" meme, then posts a complaint about her Florida Blue health insurance going up from $74.99 a month to $1,781.49 a month in premiums. I'd put money on her having slammed Obamacare but praising ACA at some point
