Anyway. When you see people hyperventilating that "B-b-but paying farm workers more would make food unaffordable!" please correct them up for me.

They might mean well? They might be trying to make a point about how much we owe the humble farm worker?

But that kind of talk is exactly how you get people believing "Gosh shucks golly. I guess we just need slavery to live."

Cut it out already.

In a culture eager to move on, he's staying grounded in the facts. If you’re still masking too, share this post.

Stuck in the Middle with Masking: Playing the Long Game in a Short-Sighted Age - WHN

I might have focused on statistics like "families ripped apart", "children kept away from their parents", "innocent people deported to other nations without due process" over economic losses, but these numbers (provided officially by ICE, so take them in that light) are striking. https://www.openice.org/

I mean, it’s a great time to dial back on being an asshole, so if you are subbing PERFORMATIVELY, like to write NYT columns about, then sure. If you mean is it time to stop having values and boundaries, then no. /1

80% of Tennessee wants this, including most veterans… but keep electing a Republican supermajority who block it. (PSA: Their Core Civic donors would lose money if we stopped locking people up for nonviolent offenses… which also keeps them from voting…) www.knoxnews.com/story/news/l...

The battery on my new Lenovo M11 tablet was draining fast and it didn't make any sense because the tablet and battery is brand new. It's supposed to last all day. Turns out it was the Facebook app running in the background nonstop spying on everything I'm doing on the tablet and using all the battery power. Deleted the app. Problem is fixed.
