Stocker? At an Aldi???

The people in the first story are on a single SS payment, because the husband is 57. But the guy retired when he was 45.

Seriously, this is their own damn fault.

In her 12 years in the Senate, Shealy has made big impacts. Forty-eight of her bills have passed, including those that require a review of every suspicious child death, ban subminimum wages for people with disabilities and require the state to come up with a plan to deal with increasing cases of dementia. No senator has passed more legislation in recent years.

Sounds like she was pretty much doomed as a republican anyway.

I find the concept of a path not tread before kind of amusing. A path is only formed by repeatedly traveling it, that's how paths are formed.

But the message is great, and the poetry is awesome.

Hambrick had a long career in the manufacturing and hospitality industries but retired in the early 2010s with limited savings. Her husband has been caring for sick relatives for the past several years and doesn't have an income. Additionally, he's 57, and his Social Security check won't kick in until he's at least 62.

So they retired when he was 45ish, and now we're supposed to feel sorry for their poor choices? Out of all the bad stories in this article these two can go fuck themselves.

Wow perfect split, I didn't think that was actually possible

Yes, that was indeed my point. It seems like you didn't understand I was agreeing with you (not everyone on the internet is trying to attack you).

It's lethally toxic in a few dozen milligrams, and this bottle contains (up to) tens of thousands milligrams.

I was pointing out it's an absolute nightmare they sold this to random people in stores to "spray fruit". The nightmare is only slightly tempered by my hope that "nicotine concentrate" might only be a small percentage pure nicotine.

And this is a 1 oz/28gram bottle, at 40% concentrate.

One can only hope this "nicotine concentrate" is itself not pure nicotine.

Natural, like hungry bears and cyanide.

At 40%, it'll definitely kill all your pests, including the bigger ones like your neighbors.

Well damn, he did it again. I did not see that twist coming.

The concept of independent stamp companies sounds absolutely insane nowadays, but here's how it worked.

I start a stamp company, let's say, BlueStamp. I call some major retailers and sell them rolls of my BlueStamp, that's where I make money.

See, people will want BlueStamps, because I've got amazing products they can get for free (the retailer paid for them by buying stamps). The retailers want to buy my stamps, because people will want them, which will make them shop at their store.

I just have to smart about it. I'll only sell my BlueStamps to BobMart and not AndyShop, because I don't want then they don't get to benefit as much. After all, If you can get BlueStamps everywhere, why would Bob or Andy even get them? I offer to supermarkt chain A, and not B, I offer it to Appliance store C, but not D. A BlueStamo saver will prefer a BlueStamp store over a Green stamp store, after all.

I might even give some big comapanies a discount on my stamps, because a bigger network offers more value, and I'll sell more stamps to these companies. Getting, say, Walmart in my system will make me very popular, and then I can charge every corner store at full price.

And that system worked really well, untill it got popular. There were literally hundreds of these systems, which make it all fall apart pretty quickly, and everyone just started offering their own savings programs.

Eh, from a practical standpoint, selfie-lady still has both legs, so if I had switches places with either of this, I'd know who to pick.

I got (and still get) the vast majority of my Ukraine news from NCD memes...

Well, I feel like my followup joke makes itself.

Stupid people offend me. Can I interest you in some low cost public education?

"i gave up and left, but won't take no for an answer!"

That's not what I use mine for, but whatever makes you happy.
