I thought it was interesting and original until the pointless cat scene and the complete lack of an ending.

This is all true, but there's not clear line of succession after Trump, so they'll splinter. Redirecting the fervor to some new dear leader will take a long time. The Trump thralls are entirely invested in him alone.

As I've said elsewhere: I wonder what controls Mozilla has in place to prevent gradual takeover of their board by those with an interest in removing Firefox as a competitor. We've watched the sleeper cell in the Supreme Court transform that body into an illegitimate partisan puppet. Mozilla's actions over the last few years would make much more sense if it were being manipulated into self destruction.

This was also my recent experience on PopOs!

It's literally impossible to fully boycott Amazon, I've been trying for years. Even if you buy elsewhere, often you'll find out after the fact that Amazon does the shipping or payment processing.

We should nationalize their monopoly or break it up.

Not only do [the old trucks] only get 9 miles per gallon, they’re also noisy, smelly (I have to close my window every day when the mail truck comes around), have no air conditioning, hard to stand up in, and their only safety feature is mirrors that constantly fall out of alignment. AP also points out that nearly 100 LLVs caught fire last year – a common event when it comes to internal combustion vehicles.

There was almost a Mormon Navy?

Now I feel bad that perhaps her best friend kept calling her "old man".

So it sounds like you don't believe progressive taxation works. I guess that's an understandable viewpoint. But if you think complexity is the problem, I have a hard time accepting your assessment of me as naïve. People that want simple solutions to complex problems are showing the lack of sophistication that defines naïvety.

When did they last get their way via shutdown? Usually it costs Republicans politically.
