I would start to suspect my employers of bank robbery.

Organize, O toilers, come organize your might;
Then we’ll sing one song of the workers’ commonwealth
Full of beauty, full of love and health.

I’ve seen an elderly man working at the HEB I frequent. He looks frail. I wouldn’t want to be bagging groceries at his age.

Remember, it’s also cops (not exactly the same cops, but cops nonetheless) who campaign for encryption backdoors so that civilians can’t hide illegal activities from police surveillance.

Rule of Acquisition #91: Your boss is only worth what he pays you

You MUST have a battery for your solar panels to be of any use during a grid outage. When I got panels installed in 2020, I paid $24,500. A whole-house battery would have been almost as much again. I skipped the battery because, at the time, I was not particularly concerned about grid reliability.

The left hand knows exactly what the right hand is doing.

I have a power bank and foldable solar panels. That provided enough power to keep my refrigerator running.

I also have an EcoFlow Wave2 portable air conditioner that I was able to partially charge with solar. The AC function uses too much energy, but it can also operate as just a fan, in which mode the battery will last for days and days. Having the fan on me helped a lot.

Let the lord of the MAGA horde come forth that justice may be done upon him.

A lot of cases end in a financial settlement where the company doesn’t admit guilt.

Every company always claims they did nothing wrong. Is it even necessary for journalists to ask for a statement from a company? Just take it as read they deny whatever they’re accused of. You think a CEO is going to make an evil cackle, twirl their mustache, and admit everything?

Are you having a stroke?

How about the peace plan where Putin hangs from a gibbet for the sport of crows?

Also look back on the history of the French Revolution and how many aristocrats literally lost their heads.

The survivors are free to be angry at student protestors, but I don’t see how their anger is justiciable.

The danger is that places that don’t get cold often get hot. And don’t forget about climate change with regard to heat. Some homeless around Houston die every summer when they don’t have access to air conditioning.

Something something shareholder value?

An essay by Robert’ DROP TABLE Students;–

Is that really new? It seems like I’ve heard stories for years about short sellers putting out negative press releases to tank one stock or another, making good their short position.
