A universal basic income in America?
Pegacorns, but what a wonderful idea. You start out under your parents’ roof, you get your first job, but you need a car, insurance, gas money, you usually have to pay for your work uniforms and supplies…Unlike Monopoly, though, we don’t start out with $200 to get us on our way to financial independence.
Ya gotta admit, it would be nice even if they gave everyone that basic $200 monthly once you hit 18.
Pegacorns but I am a dreamer.

If anyone had a brain, they’d realize a basic income would have meant our virus laden economy wouldn’t be in such a shit state because people would have still had money ot pay bills and buy goods. DERP.
And no dream shattering logic on how it’s unfeasible or breeds free loadng. Let me have my damn pegacorn in theory.

I have a dream…that basic internet service for all becomes the norm. And if not the norm, at least cheaper than fucking $84 a month for spotty DSL.

ODE TO POTATO SAMMICH IF HE READS THIS, (potato salad could be a relative!)
Fark user submitted headline:
(Florida Man): Oh, you think you’re next for potato salad? The Second Ammendment says I’M next for potato salad. (Man at the opposite end of Publix draws his gun): Someone’s Second Ammendment potato salad rights may be at risk.
Nah, no tater salad throw down, just armed men at a deli, the new norm. Sad even for Florida.

I support religious rights entirely and this sacrifice to the religious beliefs all in the name of public health-when America’s president and VP shun masks like American Idiots…Above and beyond, Montreal docs, above and beyond.

Cardboard coffin beds…
This virus is really bringing me down and making me feel my coffin decor is lacking in taste. Good thing I’m just insensitive enough to still wear all my coffin shaped earrings.
