Thanks. We'll see how long it lasts this time.

Samantha Bee's Full Frontal, a show during which she is always fully clothed, was on while I was playing channel roulette. I saw nothing that was a big deal and see no reason why all these news stations are talking about it.

One funny segment had Samantha Bee's security question and answer for some app.
Q: Where did you lose your virginity?
A : In my mouth.

Starting in 2019, Vermont will pay people who move there and work remotely for an out-of-state employer $10,000 over two years to cover relocation expenses, coworking memberships, computers, internet, and other work-related expenses. Gov. Phil Scott signed the bill into law on Wednesday (May 30).



Vermont really is very scenic, not like moving to a hell hole or anything.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

It's too far north, nobody wants to
live there. Like Wyoming, another
beautiful state with less than a
million people, or Montana. The
winter ends in May and starts
again in Sept. Who needs it.

$20K taxable dollars over 2 years is
a pittance for what many people
would feel is like a prison sentence.
The adult pop is shrinking and aging
because all the young people move
away as soon as they can. Why is that.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

It is a high tax, low growth state. It is one of those places that people just do not relocate to very much, meaning population decline.

Nothing wrong with low growth or population decline as long as public spending declines as well.
the problem is people still clamor for state aid rather than moving to the states that offer such things.

The problem comes in that you can't just cut public spending with the decline. Public buildings still need to be heated and cooled. the sewers and water still have fixed costs. Like a guy takes a pay cut but still has the same house. He can cut back on a few things, but not on the big things.

New York millennial finally leaves his parents' home, but first calls cops on his dad over Legos

This loser amazes at every step. So he is 30 with an 8 year old kid. Not exactly a model parent. And going to move in with another relative. WOW

EDIT: Millennial evicted from parents' home paid for car storage, but balked at child support, records show

"Rotondo reportedly testified that he applied to only two jobs in 2016 – but turned his nose up at working in retail or fast food establishments because “he did not want to accept a position he did not think he could work at for at least three years,”

I'd drive up there to take his man card off of him but I'm sure someone already has.

They got the Golden State's DNA off his car door handle while he was at Hobby Lobby.

Only point being, if someone wants your DNA legally or illegally they're going to get it unless you're extremely careful.
