*was avoidable, by taking steps 25-40 years ago. Boomers took us right over the edge of any cliff they could find, again and again.

I sincerely hope the voters throw this guy out on his ass and then follow up with new indictments to replace the charges he had dismissed. Guy is pure corrupt scum.

Republicans are the enemy of anyone outside of the billionaire class. They have persisted by duping the dumbest and least discerning for decades, aided by the machinery of religion, which inherently removes the ability to parse facts from fiction.

Republicans are a threat to America.

Linda McMahon is a fucking witless ghoul.

Especially if wind power becomes a viable alternative (again?)

Cue the airlines come with hand-wringing to beg the Feds for more bailouts because “nobody is flying anymore.”

Parasitical business practices should lead to market exit.

Poorly managed companies usually start from the top. Shitty middle management is just a reflection of shitty “leadership.”

Putting that R next to your name is the uniform of soulless ghouls. They’re the worst of American society, and have been consistently working to undermine this country for decades.

Let’s just put all the Republicans in North Dakota, and keep them in one place.

“But how will we keep our enormous administrative overhead to ourselves?”

The stupids always outnumber the smarts.

65 isn’t very old, but it’s a lot on anyone’s plate if she was also taking care of a 90+ Alzheimer patient and 3 dogs.

The fact that they had a rodent infestation (which are known vectors for Hanta in NM) on their property seems like a pretty significant indication that she was overwhelmed. It’s not like they are average retirees; resources were not an issue.

What IS an ongoing pattern though, is elderly people overestimating their capabilities based on their younger selves, and ignoring the signs they need additional support. Eventually something catastrophic happens, like a car accident, and then people shake their heads like, “well, we kept telling Bill he was too old to drive at night anymore, but he’s just stubborn like that.” Meanwhile the collateral damage is done.

UPS just laid off 20K workers on the expectation that Amazon deliveries will be way down.

Container ships are down 60%. More than any month during the pandemic.

Trump is imploding the entire economy.

"Hantavirus pulmonary disease is fatal in nearly four out of 10 people who are infected, but fewer than 730 cases were identified in the US between 1993 and 2017.

Further police investigations of their grounds discovered widespread evidence of rodent infestation."

They shouldn’t have been living on their own; like many very elderly people, they both needed supervised care.

Fair enough. I had the opposite, where foils caused irritation (even my Braun Series 7), but my Philips Norelco 9500 has been the superior shaver, all around.

I still use the One-Blade to pre-trim though, especially if the whiskers are longer.

Foils are good, but the rotary style electric shavers create the least irritation. I use one, and would recommend it. It also comes with a little cleaner base that keeps the heads disinfected and clean of hair particles.

A Phillips One-Blade will give you a decently close shave, but not razor close, but it also doesn’t cause nearly the irritation and doesn’t cut hairs below the skin.

One trick is to prep your skin with cold water, not hot or warm, which will cause the hairs to stand up, making the shave easier.

Oh please. “Attacking?” Look how you’re framing this. It was a simple correction.

Let’s not turn Lemmy into Reddit with this type of add-on peanut gallery commentary. It does nothing for anyone except fuel negativity across the site.

They meant Medical doctors, not PhDs in Education.

Nah man, they know all that stuff. They’re simply paid to treat the reactive, not focus on proactive care.

10 whole minutes? I paid my $25 copay for 2 minutes with a PA, just this week.
