This image suggests we are importing way more than ever before but doesn’t explain why?

Oh, brother! Where art thou?

My thought too. And yes, beautiful song… southern Christian songs are some of the best.

Republicans need to be very careful. The wrap themselves in the flag bunch are starting to cross the line into callously using these soldiers deaths to play political gotcha.

My mother doesn't like dogs.

I have several friends that are dogs.

I don't like cats. If a cat has been in an area within the last several years I can't breathe. Everything swells up and turns red.

Darn anti-breathing cat owners don't care if I can breathe.

Anti-cat lives matter, get off my neck.

Selfish.

@doctor-phibes said in Val:

What a fucking depressing movie.

What an understatement. I wasted an hour and a half this morning on this piece of dreck.

Arrogant, self-serving, and pointless.

I stopped after an hour, and haven't finished it. I don't think I will.

Last night I watched Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed - I have a horrible feeling all the recommendations from Netflix and Amazon are going to be depressing from now on.

TLDR.

@mik said in An interesting perspective on the worker shortage:

I seriously doubt the majority of service workers have simply moved on to bigger and better things.

Yeah - I don't think most people had a freelance job and took up a MFA degree like this writer. Over 50% of Canadian adults received CERB if I'm not mistaken. This person claims to not have received it.

So she's not even representing the opinion of the group she's speaking for.

That’s what I was looking for.

@larry What was the guy doing to you that deserved such a brutal beating?

I was at a phase in my life where I'd as soon kill you as look at you. There were several of them, surrounding me. According to the cop their MO was to surround and intimidate, ask for money, and if you didn't give them any they'd grab you and then yell for security if you fought back.

One of them made the mistake of grabbing me.

"Speaking as somebody who does very well on funny little number and language puzzles, I can authoritatively say that this group of people who have dedicated their lives to studying this complex issue are totally wrong, and what's more, LIARS!"

Different wording, same result.

The U.S. built four Merlins for every one the Commonwealth produced.

Outside of the Island, production left a lot to be desired. As an example, I give you this:
