People are strongly opinionated with a short memory. It seems a lot of people don't mind walking through shit as long as they know everyone else is forced to also.

Wear him out first with cat toys. Those telescoping wands with the string and the bell on the end with feathers and what not work pretty well. My cat jumps 4 and 1/2 feet straight up in the air to catch that thing. He also loves playing with small sized stuffed animals and the mice from the dollar store that have a bell in them. Wear him out, give a few snacks and he spends an hour chewing a blanket on my lap and making biscuits.

Dare (drugs are recreationally enjoyable) was the reason I read all the books in the library about drugs and became interested in psychedelics and weed.

Were they all out of the men's version? 

We rallied the first and second shift to all quit at a place before and they brought in people from other locations, did open interviews that very next day and had a full crew training the next day.

Hard to rebel when your parents held your hand, never told you the word no, said you were special and gave you participation trophies your whole life.

I stopped buying brand name stuff off Amazon because they are either factory seconds or knockoffs. Amazon is only good for when you purposely want some cheap Chinese crap now.

They know you are old so they don't slip around you.

None and I'm in the Midwest. My yard is treated and the state park trails are well kept. Many people here wear slides or crocs with no socks when they are outdoors. 

I still have my baggy jeans and jorts from 20 years ago.

People are sick of refugees and immigrants coming to their country committing crimes, raping women and refusing to integrate. People are sick of woke ideology. Even Netflix and Amazon are putting out content making fun of diversity narratives. It's not fascism so much authoritative leadership that people are rallying behind.

Millions of Americans across several generations have raised families on one income while relying on overtime hours. 

If the pandemic taught us anything it's that 50% of everyone doesn't care if you die. They don't even care if they are the cause of you dying.

My mom has been calling DVDs and Blu-ray discs (VHS) tapes ever since they came out. When Blockbuster first started renting DVDs and my mom was still calling them tapes we used to ask her if she remember to rewind them when she was heading out the door to return them. She would stop, turn, give us a look like I'm not sure, then wise up and chuckle.

If it was inflation then everyone's money would inflate and your compensation would automatically increase accordingly. When only the price of goods and services increases but not your wages then you're being robbed.

all we had to do was prove we weren’t and they would waive the fines

Like their illegitimate fines are legally binding. Why did you go to the meeting? Why not just tell them to kick rocks? This legitimately sounds like a made-up story.
