Western Nebraska, basically Wyoming: non organic are in the range of five bucks at the grocery store. Organic is anywhere from 6 to 8. I get locally-raise ones for 3.50 a dozen at my mechanic's shop :) Just have to pay cash.

This economy is stupid.

All prices in USD in case that wasn’t clear

I’m too lazy/busy to answer your for myself, but I’d like to know if they tested to see if the location near family was causative of these attitudes. That’s how the little article reads but it doesn’t say anything about controlling for all the existing stuff that contributes to geographic areas of conservatism.

If they’re publicly traded, then leadership is public record. Someone could always publish the info for them in a more helpful way than This

I didn’t want to bother making another account to like this comment twice so I’m just writing this to say, ‘This’.

I’m in social work and this is huge. Trying to sign people up for these programs feels so invasive. I regularly apologize for the invasion of privacy and the implied judgement of these means-tested forms.

This is the legacy of the Clintons and those that followed them giving credit to the idea that you have to prove you’re deserving. Not only do means-tested programs have a negative psychological impact, they’re stupidly inefficient. They require lots of outside labor to make them even marginally effective.

The people who need them often barely have time/energy to take care of themselves, so you end up needing this whole extra layer of professionals to help them through the barrier. They all need grant it state funding of their own. All that money could be more efficiently distributed if the gates were gone, or even designed to be useable by the people who need them, in the circumstances they’re in.

Anyone who’s still using Amazon and wants to keep democracy is drowning in cognitive dissonance. Amazon is a bigger threat to decent lives for non-millionaires than any single politician, even granting that Trump is a nightmare.

Hey all, you can go here to find out who your representatives in the House and Senate are and then just type "(person name) official contact" in to your search engine to find out how to email them and let them know what you think of their vote. I sent two angry emails and, surprisingly, one thankful one.
