Cleaner if you're living without running water.

They always did seem to get louder when a wave of heat would roll over the area.

I very strongly disagree. It may appear that way, but community is simply less profitable than "influencers", so communities aren't invested in. Social media and even following influencers/content creators is an example of people looking for community, just not having healthy communities to pick from.

The BBB is a privately owned corporation with all the issues of Yelp (blackmailing companies to pay to hide bad reviews).

It gets better, because all the money they "lost" on a movie they can also write off. Oops, we didn't make any money this year because we put out 10 billion dollar movies and only made 10 million at the box office. Tax break please!

Would you be ok with a limited spooky season if it came with a ban (enforced by the death penalty, no trial), on Xmas music outside of a 36 hour window starting at noon on Xmas eve?

All the comments saying it's a distraction from how the working class is being oppressed by the owner class are right, but also...

There have always been bigots, small town small minded people who don't "know any gay people" but there was that one skinny boy in their class that didn't like sports so he was bullied until he left town at 18. And now, that generation of bigots is finally dying out. Not only due to age but due to an increased connection with the greater world. A small town bigot might not know any LGBT people personally but they are aware of their existence, due to television and the Internet. So quietly ignoring people who are different than you doesn't work anymore. And a dying animal fights harder than ever.

These death throes are useful to the owner class. But they are still dying out. And if we can exterminate capitalism and figure out a way to survive in a post-warmed globe, we might just see the end of (this particular type) of bigotry.

There's always openings in front line infantry!

things aren't as rosy as they were a couple of years ago

A couple of years ago it was a thornbush with no roses, so what does that say about now?

The rich are actively trying to be yote into space. All we're saying is redirect their rockets to ensure they don't come home again.

Delightfully exactly 250 years from the US's Declaration of Independence!
