Gerrymandering

My household has not bought anything from them since before the pandemic. Unfortunately, this means relying on Walmart, which isn't much better, but at least they get toilet breaks.

Maybe they had Russians build the bridge

Why was he even allowed access to the 72nd one? Isn't there some point where we decide this isn't going to stop?

I'm sorry that happened to you. I read recently of another church leader who killed a little girl he was supposed to be driving somewhere in a group, then pretended she never got on the bus, and comforted her family. In the 1970s. Only recently admitted to the murder. I can't imagine what kind of sociopath takes somebody's baby and then lies to their face for 50 years about what happened.

We absolutely need a points system in this country. Dui, lose your license AND your car for a month. Hit a pedestrian, come see us in 5 years.

I know these harsh consequences can be even harder in the US than Europe, but as someone who has never been able to drive I know it's not a life ender to lose the privilege for a short time. It's worth the grief to get people taking it more seriously.

3 hours a day of unpaid time just to get ready for work.... we were far overdue for a shift in the system.
