Great! I’m enjoying my ice cream in winter, while waiting for the 4th hurricane of this year to hit my city. The last one ALMOST took the roof off my house, but hey, maybe this next one will, and then I’ll get to enjoy a free rain bath!

More or even more.

Kid was completely broken, he needed care for his mental health, not jail. I understand it’s not always available though.

I work with online sales and that’s not what happens at all. Fake discounts just works, sadly, and people just won’t learn. I don’t really know why, maybe they use the “discount” as an excuse to themselves just to buy more stuff.

Very true. I have an example in my family: my father-in-law owns a lot of land. That land, not so long ago, belonged to some native tribes that were all killed to have said land stolen. My wife said that, when her father dies and she inherits the land/money, she’s gonna donate most of it (maybe all, depending on our financial situation), because she doesn’t want the blood money.

We drive our cars and planes
And burn the fossil fuels
We ignore the scientists
And call them climate fools

We chop down all the forests

We melt the polar ice caps
And watch the glaciers crash

We suffer and we will die
From the heat as we get older
But hey, at least we created a lot of value
For our dear shareholders

He should be in jail, but it’s a start.
