Headline should read "99% of California fast food workers now make a livable wage and don't have to rely on government handouts to survive anymore" but what do you expect from National Review?

Best way to beat a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit.

For some insects it's part of their life cycle. They spend the majority of their life in a larval stage after being born in the water. Then one day they rise from the water as adults, fly around and mate , finally returning to the water surface to lay their eggs and expire. This is the basis for fly fishing. The angler has to present a fly that imitates the insect in the particular life stage that the fish are eating. Mayflies, midges, caddis and stoneflies are the most common insects. Nymphs, pupae, emergers, dun, spinners are the flies imitating the life stages.

I have plenty of experience working with contractors. I am a contractor. Many of my friends are contractors. When there is an abundance of work they'll bid high. If they don't get the job no big deal. If they get paid well then why not take it on, push lesser paying jobs back. Both times I heard this phrase they were making a big deal about nothing and I got someone to do it much cheaper.

Congratulations! You'll be fine. I knew zilch when I bought my first house (total dump) and learned as I went.

After 30 years of owning my own home my red flag is when they say "this is going to be a big job".
