Yes, I only respect journalists who never update their opinions or recommendations given new information. Everyone needs to use psychic foresight to determine the best takes and then never ever change them. Meta was always exactly as bad as it is today. /s

This is a great overview of what we know about Mangione and, if he was the shooter, what likely drove him. Chronic pain is horrible and so are insurance companies.

This is also at least the third story I’ve heard of someone having their life ruined by a beginner surfing injury. He seems like a normal, decent dude (for being 26, rich, and a tech bro) and it really sucks that that happened to him. Murder is bad etc but I get it.

There are 15,000 McDonald’s in the US and turnover is pretty high. It’s an old stat but I don’t expect it’s changed much over time.

My husband and MIL both worked there so it tracks with my family members at least!

One out of eight Americans have worked at McDonald’s, so that’s quite a lot.

In their 90s? Gimme some bread and dancing then!

Yeah, though clues are few and far between; the

Forced labor is still slavery even if you’re paid and not whipped.

He’s surrounded by toadies who told him he’d win the first one, and he lost.

True: they’re obviously neither a woman nor a man with empathy.

You’re obviously not a woman: if you were you’d know that we talk about this stuff all the time, and that it absolutely is not obvious to women in blue states how scary things are in red states.
