Reminds me about how wealthier people can buy more efficiently, eg afford Costco membership, able to buy & store in bulk, have transportation, etc. This also reduces the number of shopping trips. Seems like the more one earns, the ‘cheaper’ life gets, saving money & time.

As someone who has done business in Japan this isn’t quite true.
If you show proper respect in the business card exchange ritual, then a subsequent murder may, in fact, be quite respectful.
It depends on how long they examine your business card.

The “I did dangerous work when I was 14 and turned out great” takes are nauseating because if you think a little boy should be working in a dangerous setting is OK, then no, in fact, you did not turn out great.
@0liviajulianna
I enjoy my cigars. I have a dog. My wife was once pregnant with our son.
If I was sitting down smoking a cigar telling my wife to clean up the dog poop, you would never find my body. Rightfully so.
@BexWords
A gun-loving Republican coworker had their child via IVF and without abortions it wouldn’t have been possible. Also want more gun laws because of the nonsense killing here in TX.
So now, former Republican.
@stclairashley
I don’t understand the point of mocking and belittling people who died and insulting the families who lost loved ones.
More than a million Americans are dead. Who thinks like this??
@erinbiba
Also might I add not all power strips are actually surge protectors. I think many people make assumptions that if it has more than 3 plugs then it must be a surge protector.
Jesus, so less than 24 hours of the SOTU address where President Biden called out drug prices, Republicans in the welfare state known as Alabama decided to increase all prescription prices??
100% chance Republicans will blame Biden for Republicans raising drug prices.
Alabama lawmakers have advanced a bill that would add a $10.64 fee on all prescription medication purchases in the state, calling it a "dispensing fee".
Opponents argue that such a bill, if passed, would cost the average family upto $1100 in additional medication costs per year.
@tedcruz
This was one load of several that we did over several days for basic hygiene as you fled to Cancun.
Thankfully Rep Ocasio-Cortez stepped in and did your job.
Seems like you are too sensitive for Texas.
@cd_hooks
If Abbott and Texas can find a way to screw anything up with the pandemic, they will.
I'm in Williamson County (outside of Austin) and they sat on their doses for a few days. Not massive. . . but then again tons of people are getting sick & dying every day, so each day counts.

Sen
@JohnCornyn
was nowhere to he found in Texas while we filled bathtubs of snow to have water. His office hung up on my wife when she called as a concerned constituent.
My friendly advice is for
@JohnCornyn
to resign as he clearly has no desire to lead.
@SashaIngber
Super happy for them!
I found it interesting that they still have the presence of mind to wear a mask when evacuating for the lives and here in Texas parents are physically attacking teachers for wearing masks.
@imillhiser
I don't know about legal stuff, but as a scientist who has worked on drug development projects, I find it super concerning that the legal branch can tell the FDA that their approval process was somehow "wrong" or whatever language they use. Particularly 20+ years later.
@MattWalshBlog
The real problem are right-wingers like you who support murdering children in school.
Trans people have been around for thousands of years. They aren't the problem. You are.
@samschwartz03
Her bit about pretending to care about children while virtually supporting every policy that enables mass shootings was absolutely cringe.
@LEBassett
Dec 2008. Layoff round 1 was a few weeks before, but the big one was that day. I was a manager & reassured many people that one way or another they'll be OK with life, blah blah blah. Got back to my desk with my manager waiting for me holding a brown box. . .
@jeff_swarens
None of that invalidates her point.
You are marginalizing very real concerns.
But please, keep telling black folks how they should feel about their social history, because that isn’t super racist.

@mehdirhasan
Not identifying yourself as a combatant has been a war crime and against international treaties for a very long time.
Excusing war crimes because Israel does them is dishonest.
@DanRather
Best ever. I vastly prefer this compared to watching people walk up to a podium, give some blah speech as the camera cuts away to people in the stands obnoxiously dressed in American paraphernalia.
The State of Texas has submitted requests for federally-supported COVID-19 testing sites, medical personnel, and increased monoclonal antibody allocations.

Stating that the last non-racist thing Republicans did was 50+ years ago isn’t the win you think it is.
You voted against interracial marriage just last year.
@bennyjohnson
Cute that you think your merry band of fascists bigots hav e any impact on their revenue.
Think about this: Anheuser Busch knows that you are so small & inconsequential that they have zero thoughts about you. They don’t care about you Benny.
Neither does the rest of the world
@NoLieWithBTC
It is also interesting that
@DanCrenshawTX
points to Perry's Army rank and yet totally and absolutely ignores the fact that the victim was a veteran.
It is insidious framing.

This is an important point.
Most likely those dead Russian soldiers were no more than kids conscripted to fight on the whims of a megalomaniac.
@Yamiche
We have been loving to see the states, the people, the backgrounds they chose - this is far more representative than being in some cliche convention center wearing over-the-top cliche 'patriotic' gear.
@GregAbbott_TX
So Abbott got outplayed by California, and is holding Beto responsible.
I am thinking that outplaying Abbott is a ringing endorsement for Beto.

@jacobkschneider
That is exactly representing what millions of Americans have to do.
Y’all are so out of touch on basic things like obtaining housing it is an utter shock.
@SamiScheetz
The
@IowaGOP
doesn't want poor people making hamburgers.
They don't want you to buy affordable fresh meat to make a patty.
They don't want you to buy buns.
They don't want you to buy sliced cheese to put on your illegal hamburger.
The party of small-gvt opposes hamburgers.
@oliverbcampbell
This is a completely romanticized view of a process. Zero chance this is happening, but people will pretend that this is reality.
People who never had real jobs think of processes like this.
@DanCrenshawTX
When Dan talks about "simplifying" tax rules, here is what Republicans did:
They removed most itemized deductions. So we can't deduct our mortgage interest. We can't deduct home office space - pretty big deal during pandemic times.
But they lowered tax rates for the wealthy.
@RepThomasMassie
Huh. I work for a scientific company and every scientific company I know has vaccine mandates.
You may be shocked to learn that includes various vaccines due to the matrices we may encounter.
As usual Massie pretends to understand science routinely fails.
The Texas Supreme Court declined to issue a writ of mandamus, which would have forced Houston First Corporation to perform its legal, contactual obligations for the Houston Republican Convention. The court cited a lack of jurisdiction in a narrow ruling.

@soledadobrien
Chemist here - and literally worked on COVID-19 test kits - so with that said, the metrologist needs to stay on their lane and understand data needs to be contextualized.
Fox News is freaking out about Biden’s newest video where he sips from a Dark Brandon mug: “That’s actually a really dark joke at the expense of the American public! Brandon is not a compliment!”
@JefScotCantrell
I approve. This was several years ago, and sadly I think the filming area has since burned down during one of the wildfires in Malibu.
@Wizards_DnD
I started playing AD&D 2nd Ed circa 1990. Just got back into it as a 40 something. I'm not same gamer today as in the past. The game is not the same. Society is not the same. And all of that is a good thing.
Thank you doing what you can to create a productive path forward.
