Ever since I was a kid "pain at the pump" has been treated as this urgent, kitchen-table issue and it's never been close to the expense that like housing, medical insurance, or education have been and we're all supposed to pretend that gas taxes are this populist gesture.

But in all seriousness, the work was a joy. The team was a joy. Waypoint Plus was a success but not enough of one to survive what's going on at VICE. The company is taking on a lot of water, as any number of articles will tell you, and this was brute-force layoff and reorg.

This article is good because it then goes on to detail how the same DA office plus the local fed prosecutor are bringing the hammer down on BLM protesters, and how the cops got real nearsighted when this dude attacked the crowd.
Michael Ray Stepanek, who told police he drove through a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in August because they needed “an attitude adjustment,” will avoid prison and have the incident erased from his record if he stays out of trouble for 3 years.

If I were poised for yet another shattering electoral defeat following ineffectual control of all three branches I would simply get a smarter electorate and win.
Smart voters will appreciate that the response to this is not to reject the Democratic Party at the polls, it’s to elect more Democrats so that Manchin is no longer relevant.
