‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’
‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’
‘Hello’ is not related to either.
Goodbye.

Fine with ads if I can pay to opt out
An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.
to add to this: not sure how many people realize how many active "small family farms" in the USA have been economically unviable for decades already and basically exist as a heavily subsidized hobby for the owners
Update: Rep. Joaquin Castro, a Dem, has facilitated release of teenaged #mariachi musicians after their GOP Rep., Monica DeLaCruz (a 47 supporter) failed to get them out of detention. DeLaCruz put a target on the teens by inviting them to DC

Really makes one wonder who exactly is deciding
Rug pulling oil is crazy work
"iran is going to keep trying to close the strait [which will drive insurance costs to unsustainable levels]" versus "no they aren't"
You don’t hate the press enough
Great example of how homeownership is not an unallayed good - it can trap people in low-opportunity areas where income and home values are not guaranteed. Juicing sprawl and homeownership above all else encourages these outcomes.
the best analysis money can buy and they’re all getting circles run around them by “orange man bad”
people have got to realize that we are not getting Medicare for All without taxing the middle class. we are not getting free child care without taxing the middle class. we are not getting better schools and free college without taxing the middle class.
I make $95,000 a year. raise my taxes, please.

Switching a corporate fleet from gas to electric could cut total vehicle operating costs by as much as 50%! As the price of oil rises it becomes a better deal every day. insideevs.com/news/789268/...
For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.
the US tax burden is not too high. our problem is our safety net is shit. handing individuals a little more cash can't solve problems like skyrocketing healthcare costs, housing crisis, no childcare, vaccine refusal. 1
Are electric vehicles denting oil demand? Yes.
By how much? 1.5 million barrels of oil a day, according to EV Curve Futurist.
Caveat: These estimates are hard, but the numbers are certainly adding up.
What the hell?
There Have Been No Approvals for New Transit Projects in the First Year of the Current Trump Administration
For the 1st time in the 1st year of a presidential administration since at least 1993, under Trump 2, the Federal Transit Administration signed 0 new contracts for major transit projects, like subways or light rail.
The US is facing a crisis of rail transit investment: www.urban.org/urban-wire/r...
It's genuinely incredible how "listens to what Trump says and interprets it as a policy goal" puts you in the top 5% of Trump understanders
How do you not immediately resign from your job and live out your days serving the poor as penance for your hubris the moment these words exit your mouth?
we have returned (please stop nuking my portfolio mr president)
seen earlier today in downtown san diego:
“Usually” except for all the times this specific thing happens lol
I propose a deal on behalf of the American people: we deliver our executive branch and congressional leaders to the Iranian government to stand trial for their crimes, and in exchange they reopen the Strait of Hormuz
it's cool how young men voted republican as a bloc in one (1) election and immediately got like 30 "here's why you should never do that again" policy lessons.
He lost FL-Sen
