A life well lived. Like him or not he was there to do his best for what he believed in and he did just that. God bless him.

Wealth accumulates for the 70+ crowd faster than the population growth for the 70+ crowd. While this does not necessarily suggest "inequity," it does indicate "increased concentration" of wealth for the 70+ crowd. Wealth in pension funds vs. wealth in 401(k)? That comes down to control. The wealth in pension funds meant to benefit the 70+crowd is not controlled by the 70+ crowd. The wealth in 401(k) accounts of the 70+ crowd is controlled by the 70+ crowd. Is one "better" than the other? That's a whole other discussion.

@Mik said in When was the last time you saw a shoe shine guy?: Good show. You’ll like it I think. Aren’t those Reubens great? Was very good. The Reuben that is. But I can understand why that sandwich at that price is a NYC novelty. I don’t think they’d sell anywhere else. The show was great. Oddly my favorite part may have been the mood setting pre show where some actors and dancers slither around on stage and observe the audience while a steady beat plays. I thought that was very effective, even if the audience was milling around everywhere still finding their seats.

A bit late but Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone.

We didn’t take the tour either, mostly because I despise guided tours.

@Axtremus said in A Christmas Message: The alternative: https://twitter.com/kamalaharris/status/2004288124722335986 Thank you for reminding me. Wow, did we barely avoid a hot mess…

@mark From what I understood on the Hazardous History episode it did contain a radioactive element. Wikipedia appears to confirm it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_U-238_Atomic_Energy_Laboratory

Fantastic.

I also found out there is The Punk Rock Museum here. That has to be the least punk thing ever.

They are indeed.

@LuFins-Dad said in Hay LD: This year will be a bit more of a pain in the ass. Karla is not turning down work, but she’s not hiring on enough workers as she’ls too scared of not having enough work for them next month… So when all the requests come in, she takes them herself including overnights. She’s been in the house 2 hours the past 3 days. To make matters worse, she had another overnight request come in for 23-27 so Lucas is taking that one. Tonight, it’s me and Finley from 9 till tomorrow at 7. I can tell you that I am pretty pissed… More than being spatially together, you all work hard for the good of the family; that spiritual unity is (at least in my mind) more valuable and more enduring. Merry Christmas!

@jon-nyc said in Interesting re MAGA for the post Trump era: As hard as it is, listen to him to the end where he says this is a message for Vance in 28. https://x.com/imperiumfirst/status/2003704372228943955?s=46 @mik whats your take on the “Ohio politics” aspect of this?

I've only watched the first episode, but it was brilliant, and very fresh take on post-apocalyptic SCIFI.

Good news of course, but it's pretty freakin' sad that this is even an issue.
