No. Things can only get worse more slowly, but that's also not happening.

Would anyone be interested in bombarding their congressfucks' offices with messages of support for a bill that would allow Gold Star spouses to keep their benefits after remarriage? A bill is about to be introduced for that purpose and I can provide info on it.

I need to get this info out before I start my new job and become bound by the Hatch Act lol

The upcoming bill is called the Love Lives On Act. It's being championed by the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) and the 2022 bill (which was introduced in like November of 2022 wtf) received a letter of support from TAPS along with like 26 other VSOs. Short version is that a surviving spouse who remarries gets to keep their benefits, other than Tricare and they can get Tricare back if the marriage ends.

The argument behind it is that first responder survivor benefits generally don't go away after remarriage so service member survivor benefits shouldn't either.

I've made some documents - TAPS' one pager, their letter of support, and a draft copy of the bill available here.

For about 30 seconds, I was thinking "hmm... why are only the $250K deposits insured, how the gently caress do businesses handle banking?" I immediately snapped out of it once I thought about what banks would actually do with that deposited money if they knew there would be an inevitable federal takeover and bailout of all the companies with those accounts.

And that kind of poo poo couldn't be adequately preventative taxed. So here, have some broken braining:

In an early episode of the Rooster Teeth Podcast, Gus was talking about how shortly after they became a real company they had a retirement planner come in and give a talk. Gus told the planner that his retirement plan was to die at 40.

"What happens if you don't?"

"I dunno. Buy a shotgun?"

Gus is 45 now so I guess he changed his retirement plan.

Coin theft is a huge problem in the money industry.


No matter how bulky or heavy it is, it does get stolen.


Usually it's the higher value denominations but 50lb bags of quarters worth about a grand do get stolen. We caught a guy stealing boxes of quarters at my last job. $500 bucks per even though they weigh 25lbs.

Not nickel the coin. Nickel, atomic number 28.

Some frogs can reproduce asexually.

There's a good documentary on the subject. It's called Jurassic Park.

They were not reproducing asexually. They were changing sex from female to male and then loving.

That's a whataboutism of the highest order.

Is it, though? On the one hand we have "a 'hostile foreign government' is collecting our metadata for... reasons?" On the other we have "here is proof that domestic law enforcement is collecting our metadata and employing it against us."

How is that whataboutism?
