it’s just that the only one that survived long enough to survive to the present day is the really good advice

Okay but... I thought that was basically the point, in that if the advice survived for that long, then it is worth paying attention to at least, to consider if it might apply to a particular situation? e.g. chicken soup really is good for a cold, whether we knew the precise reasons why or not.

It knows...

that at some points during the pandemic, TP was more valuable than fucking gold or diamonds.

They do it simply b/c they can.

OMG why does this remind me of this old video? :-P

It's b/c 40 s in, the phrase: "Raw rhymes stronger than my jaw line when I spit a phrase"

They would if it makes their food tastier. Yum... infants.:-)

Well, hopefully not that shocked.

Not true. They voted, and THAT legacy will be with us for a LONG time...

And sadly, I don't even mean DT - there's Ted Cruz, Moscow Mitch, the whole cohort - along with all the international agreements that we've already pulled out of and so on.

See, they left us something after all?! :-P This economy, lack of access to healthcare, and so much more!?

Btw, I don't know about you, but I have a retirement plan for my old age. I plan to die. :-P

In fairness, it is less that they are "selfish" and more that they are "clueless" (to the point of obstinacy, outright refusing to open their eyes) - b/c as you said, your mother didn't inherit anything, and yet THEY are fine, so why wouldn't you be, with nothing left to you either? (remember as you think this through to remove all of the actual "facts" first, and add the layer of Faux News Nostalgia factor)

I mean, not directly no - we boiled it first - but you gotta drink something, sometime.

What worried me more is not when the screw-up is so easily detectable, but when it goes unnoticed, like the permanent damage done to the residents of Flint, MI, or all those toxic chemicals caused by the multiple train derailments, where the company men tried to pay/threaten/whatever people to say that they were not sick.

Company profits >>>> ~~human health & safety~~.

Only if you like more mundane (yet accurate) explanations:-P.
