I don't even vote legally any more! I just did a quick search. Okay, now it's ringing a bell. The democrat is getting blasted in ads re that stupid quote she made about an environmental issue- "sure it will cost you an arm and a leg, but you know you are doing the right thing."

I hate to admit I haven't been following it at all. I have been distracted by personal issues, and even in normal times I don't pay too much attention to NJ politics. Can you fill me in?

I remember going to Big Cat Rescue (Yes, that Big Cat Rescue) in Tampa around 15 years ago. The guide told us that domestic cats and wild big cats aren't much different in behavior. Crazy Floridians have been keeping big cats for years. The cats bond with people just like a small cat does. The danger is that the occasional scratch you get from your cat isn't as deadly. Deaths are usually accidental. Considering the source, I can't vouch for the accuracy of this theory.

I'm not so sure it's clear cut from a PR standpoint. You are "inside the beltway", like many of my friends. Often the mood of the country isn't easily read from there.
The idea of the rank and file drones of the bloated bureaucracy finally suffering a real layoff like the rest of us is powerful optics.

We have different perspectives. This is the best news I've heard since the election.

I never entered a Steak & Shake until they started accepting bitcoin, but now I think I have a good sense of the vibe from my 5 or 6 visits. Definitely a nostalgia, 1950s American Graffiti feel. In the end I agree. It's all good.

This comment wasn't bad:
Ultimately Bitcoin was and is the true innovation. Everything else was just riding its coattails and effectively creating worse versions of the fiat system. The industry also gained a (deserved) reputation for being full of cutthroat scammers and charlatans which will be very difficult to shake.

Yeah, I didn't like the "bombshell" hyperbole either, but I think the point is that here the government was spying on itself.

An unscientific gauge, but when we were young (ages 15-35) our social lives revolved around drinking in bars every damn weekend. I'm not recommending that lifestyle, but just about everyone could afford it.
No young people can afford to do that anymore. Hell, after a lifetime of working, I can't afford to do that now.
