This would make a great skit for Mitchell and Webb.

between 15 and 25% of Americans are facing food insecurity. 25% of Americans are facing bankruptcy due to medical debt. 10% of Americans have no medical insurance. 63% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

That is not doing well, that is very fucking bad. And no, free markets do not require billionaires. We can get rid of all billionaires and distribute the money to the workers who actually generated that value, and still have healthy and relatively free markets.

My lab/department always uses Kimberly Clark, they've never caused a sulfur issue for us, though I admit I've never done FTIR or IMS on them, so maybe they do give off minute amounts.

11 years in analytical chemistry myself.

Never had a sulfur odor from nitrile gloves, and I've used them exclusively for my 15 year chemistry career.

Man, I am the underpaid person in my supply chain.

And its a lot less ethical for people to profit billions off the labour of others than for me to profit a few thousand that I need to eat.

Thousands of underpaid workers in publishing offices, marketers, delivery drivers, and bookstore workers. Without them JK Rowling makes nothing, but they didn't get any extra pay from the success of Harry Potter.

According to this the average pair of boobies is 860 pounds, sounds about right.

1 song every 2 months. Beyonce releases several songs per album, plus all the other artists tracks she sings on.

Ah yes, the Parthenon, most famous of the mud huts.

I was stating it as not a disadvantage of waiting 2 weeks for an empty showing. The viewing experience in a theater with an empty showing kicks the crap out of any home viewing experience.

I've never had it be inconvenient, just wait 2 or 3 weeks after release and most movie showings are pretty empty. It's not like you can legally watch the movie at home at that point anyway.
