What's ~~funny~~ sad about South Dakota is that it's a welfare state. Wouldn't really exist without fed money. Love the message of "we'll accept charity but not offer it if we don't have to"

Anyone actually reading this and having similar issue, it can get expensive but try talking with a doc to try and figure it out. Before my habits got better, i tried diet/exercise, diagnosed with sleep apnea (didn't feel better rested, but def worse if I don't use cpap), and finally got way easier to manage when I was diagnosed with depression and prescribed. Ymmv but thought I'd share my experience.

She's as out of touch of being able to train her dog as she is to be a representative of the State. When we voted to legalize weed, she made a sheriff start a lawsuit to block it on a BS technicality. Used citizen tax dollars against the will of the people who pay them.

More directly, this boast is more of anger issues being attempted of changing the narritive to "go getter attitude." Don't know details of the book, but how this article cites it seems more they she lost her shit over a puppy (honestly being a puppy) killing a neighbor's chicken (not specified if dog was loose or chicken got out), and even that didn't satiate her anger, she went and killed a goat for doing goat things (fertile male who was territorial.)

Honestly, her willingness to be a piece of shit (for various things, feel free to read her wikipedia) is a garner for attention from the worst parts of the GOP to only advance herself, because that's all who she cares about.

I don't quite understand your point, please elaborate.

Bet you there's been at least one person who has done the math.

So at what point do you think folks in the western world will take inspiration from other places to not allow things to get to that juncture? Whether it be expansion of unions like Sweden to ensure power is returned to the people or we start having protests that escalate and start burning things down like France?

This article is pussyfooting the issue. Oil companies have reported record profits for 2-3 years in a row. The article claims "greedflation doesn't have an exact science" while also quoting the same thing "... reap ‘excess profits’, setting prices higher than would be socially and economically beneficial".

i can't say I speak for others, but I was accepting of a year or two of companies "making up" for the hit they took during the height of the pandemic, but governments need to put them back into place and regulate their latest exploits. Enough has now been enough.

wherever governments are going to support the freedom for companies to make money at the cost of many thousands of people even being able to afford necessities. Either there needs to be a limit their profits to benefit all, or we need to restructure to tax those earnings to provide a UBI that provides all necessities.

Store associate. Though the ones you've mentioned only "vary wildly" because the scam that is tipping culture (no offense to those that have those jobs but all companies should pay fair wages and not impose on their customers/patrons) and gig work are short/niche/temporary work to fill a need or gaps in industries.

And federal minimum wage is $7.25 or 15,080 before taxes. Which is about 1/3rd of the lowest in this article (Mississippi at 45,906)

So one group had a permit but did more then permitted but weren't punished, while the group this article is about didn't have a permit, was given a lawful order to not deface property, and were punished for doing so anyways. Sure, there's some grey in there but it wasn't a violation of their first amendment.

Because they think they're right, others are wrong and that's how laws should work

“Companies and their lawyers should take findings of religious discrimination as seriously as discrimination based on race (or) sex,” Lucas said.

Yeah, totally makes sense to hold beliefs that are chosen at the same regard as things you're born with /s
