Re: Work Travel

September, I hope to fly to China, assuming we're still speaking. Masked, because I'll likely need one for China regardless, and because there are too many stupid people still alive.

Re: Filibuster

Make them talk, make sure you keep film of everything so it can be used against them. add Puerto Rico and DC statehood, which creates a small buffer Sprinkle in strategic aid for Texas or other business that they can't bear to impede. Play hardball. It's the only way. Dems already have to beat the s...

Despite being repeatedly asked, I do not know what I need, what would help. What does not help is repeatedly asking. It is a sign of deterioration that people expect my emails to be delayed.

Re: Eliminating Student Loan Debt

The economy is so complex, and so broken, that it's become a huge Byzantine house of cards. Just as with any illness, there are symptoms to deal with, which are killing you. There are also structural issues which have to be changed. Having a student loan is a little like having early lung cancer. Yo...

Re: Live the Kyle Way™

This is one of the unexpected blessings of adult children: They know things.
I don't have to research or understand so many issues. I know how not to support Nestles, what the roi for a tesla is, which gadgets to buy. All it takes is between one and three calls I was going to make anyway.

At the risk of sounding old, and or misogynistic, I was totally against leggings as pants for a long time, but I confess I miss going to the kinds of places where I was convinced of the narrowness of my view.

Re: Calling Out the Cowards

I contend that numerous legislators knew this was going to happen, and resist the impeachment because there is still expectation that Trump will be re-installed. It's not over.

Re: Teaching Frustration

I don't know how old the kids are, but they have to be taught how to do that. If nobody ahead of you has done it, they're not going to know how to start. For group stuff, always either assign roles or have the group pick them, that's first. You can even record this, so you can keep track of patterns...

As much as I want 45 gone, I want there to be a yes or no vote for every legislator. My gut says that several knew exactly what was planned.

Good job, hope you're feeling better soon.
Indications are that the second one will be worse. Like, take the next day off worse.
It is however, an indication that your body is taking the high alert seriously.

Sadly, like my lymphoma, I think it is something I will die with, hopefully not from.
