3rd, I’m not so sure $1,600 direct payments to Oregonians is the best use of those tax dollars. It should be used to reduce our overall tax burden. Maybe increase the standard deduction by $1,600 or some such.

What a weird point. So instead of giving $1600 cash to people (and more to families) this author proposes tax breaks that will be less accessible to people?

I got a mailer this week calling 118 a “blank check for Salem”

That doesn’t even make sense

Look, I accept a sonic shower.

But I don’t think anyone thought the way to improve the toilet was to make it more “sonic.”

People mention eating it whole… I at least shave the hair off it first.

I kept my business-specific GitHub separate from my personal GitHub account. What business did you apply for that you felt this question was necessary?

It would be nice to know who not to apply for

Is this putting any undue stress or problems on your mother?

Not to excuse your sister’s behavior, but my experience with narcissists is that you can’t teach them to be better or “fix” them unless they want that, and that’s rare. Which usually means an you can do is make the best out of what you get.

Sometimes this means cutting them off completely, but when there’s kids involved like that, if that’s the way to get to see them, that’s all you can do. Just make sure you (or your mother) have your own clear boundaries and stick to them when things get out of hand, as they often progress to eventually.

The article is mostly about his impact on climate change efforts. You can certainly ignore it if you want, because there’s a lot of anxiety to be had over it.

He most definitely would screw up the little things we are trying to do, but I’m not convinced what we’re doing is nearly enough, so I suspect it won’t have the impact this article claims.

It sounds like you’re describing every libertarian I’ve ever met
