"House"

It's possible that we're here only because of such microbes.

They might make some pocket change selling one foot chunks of it to those who value it as an historic artifact. Unlike, say, a Gentle Tuesday tshirt.

To read such sadness.

Anytime I read something like "Equity Partners".

In other news, Ocean is preparing a class action suite against the monkey creatures who have "Destroyed its shoreline with ugly, poorly built structures that impinge on Ocean's ability and purpose to dissipate weather energy using liquid mass movement. Said structures are also visually repellent and injure non-monkey creatures, which have been prior inhabitants of the shores for thousands of cycles." Porpoise, in an aside stated off-record, said the monkey creatures were ugly and "couldn't swim worth a s**t but it was easy to take their women".

Please...

Decided to stop believing anyone who uses the word "community".

Correct. That is why they still refuse to teach simple personal finance in Middle School level Pub Ed.

So, it the law lets them do that then allow them their $11B, then have the EPA & IRS clock them for $11B for the nation to process and bury their e-waste. Do this to all of them. It's a race and when the bubble bursts only a couple will be left standing to service demand a fourth or less of what they are predicting. It's all ego; the money is how they keep track of who's winning.

Everywhere one looks these days one sees people who think they can lead but are fit for almost nothing at all. To see it from these folks does beggar belief.

What's plus 5 funny here is if you're old enough to remember the childish arrogance of the crowd in the bazaar. It's a long game, kiddos, especially if you make everything your enemy.

I'd buy vintage merch from that if there was some, even a ratty t-shirt that smelled of stale sweat and Old Spice.

The market will clear, when a huge provider snaps up a large percentage of every little player's clients. Or municipalities tire of selling scarce power to people who don't vote in their elections. It's an analog of waves of bank failures. Too much compute; quicker than too much money.
