Like man in a suit walking up to me on the street and asking if I’d buy a cheeseburger from him because he likes it a lot.

I see you’ve met Danny. How’s he doing these days?

ranch in the suburbs

I thought that was what they call eating out in Iowa?

I kinda feel like you should have tossed him a “milord” for that, given his username 😉

In this weeks episode of “movie for kids or real life in inner Appalachia”

I somehow read it as “for tyrants” at first glance, which enhanced my enjoyment as much as my confusion 😄

Just loaded up the game. First hand was a straight.

Sounds kinda sus… 😛

Depends: are you referring to the official US government numbers?

Because I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but the people who have been in charge of that government for the majority of that time are about as reliable as a toddler on crack giving dietary advice.

Besides, starting decades BEFORE that, political strategists started fiddling with the numbers by not counting long term unemployed people who are no longer actively job seeking.

That’s a demographic that’s gonna be ESPECIALLY big in hopeless times like right now.

In conclusion, it’s as likely that REAL unemployment numbers are flat as it is that Donald Trump is going to win the polka dot jersey at the 2026 Tour de France.
