You're right, it's not Hegseths fault. It's his fault + all the Republicans enabling the destruction of america + all of the dumbest people in charge, who's only qualifying feature is making Trump richer.

The paperwork bill for generating all the paperwork. The admin bill, to review the paperwork. The convenience surcharge, for the cost of generating paperwork.

I watched the whole speech. It's about 15 minutes long but really good. About the best I could have hoped for from a political America 250 speech.

It's the best kind of patriotic speech, talking about the things that make America great (diversity and community and opportunity) and acknowledging faults past and present. And throwing shade at Trump and white nationalists.

My job is the same in every location.

I work remote.

Most of these people don't think they'll be rich. But they are married to the idea of "hierarchy." As long as they can exist in a world where they have more advantages than women or poc or queer people, they will gladly defend a trillionaire destroying American democracy.

600k at 3%, you need 229k down (38%) to pay $2,025/mo (assuming extremely low property tax and insurance).

850k at 8.5%, you need 40k down (4.71%) to pay $6,850/mo (assuming extremely low property tax and insurance).

40k seems like a much more reasonable down payment....

The 600k house at 3% with 40k down would be $2,821/mo. Almost $4k/mo difference from the 850k example.

David Byrne's cover of Drivers License. The original is good. But I like his version more.

Grandaddy - Fun x3. Like that way more than The Beach Boys version. Entirely different song.

James Houston - Big Ideas Don't Get Any. The whole video is a work of art, literally (college project) and figuratively. Just master class execution. Radiohead even called it out as a notable cover. One of my favorite Radiohead songs =p

Republicans have never cared about children.

Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked.
