I fixed the washing machine the other day
After I looked at everything else the problem with our dishwasher was a malfunctioning motherboard that could "only" be replaced by a certified professional. I at least fixed our dryer once and our vacuums as needed, so I got that at least.

Like it's not already difficult for people here in the U.S.A. to afford. As a vast majority of anything else the ACA adjustment would never trickle down, but it sure as hell will boulder/snowball down. And that's on top of the Medicaid/Medicare cuts.

Avocado toast is out. Rotisserie chicken is in.
You mean the rotisserie chickens that are $5-6, compared to lunch meat being at 10-12/lb? Splurging on that rotisserie chicken purchase?

But if they're doing nothing wrong they've got nothing to hide.
And Philadelphia sure does has a precedent - one for telling national governments to fuck right off.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 30 minutes and counting now
Reply in thread
It was an absolutely solid - if a bit too difficult for a "casual" player - metroidvania with a lot of great art and gameplay decisions behind it from a truly small, independent team. The price was "indie" level even for its time. Absolutely affordable compared to what was available even then. If you vibed with the game, it was a wildly enjoyable time sink for what the developer asked for. Silksong was announced as a potential DLC from the get go; it was pushed back to a full game. Seven years later it's now here, with that many years of built up good faith in Team Cherry that they would only release it when they felt it was fully ready. Also, Hollow Knight got a couple high quality, free updates since its initial release.
I personally thought Hollow Knight was above average - brought down by how obtuse its direction was while playing. I never got into the "extra" things, but most committed players wildly enjoy(ed) it. *Finding Silksong a smidge more accessible even though I understand some of the more regular complaints I've read.

A majority of Hershey products have been made in Mexico for some time! It was "somehow" cheaper - possibly in part to tricklin' down trade agreements - to ship the ingredients there and then send the finished product back. As much a "fun" fact as the "fun-sized" candy. Even the JustBorne/The Peeps peoples of Pennsylvania manufacture a bunch in Canada.

Some areas of the country only have exposure to sub-par sammies. That's it. I've been slugging down quality hoagies since a young age and found Jersey Mike's to be so underwhelming, and - even without considering how overpriced it is - I only tried it once.

Not to mention it can set a wild precedent. When the "outcry" occurs when (*if based on the current spinelessness) it happens to the people who currently support it? Eat a festering pustule. Forget going high; punch them in the face. Metaphorically.

Jim Beam shutting down bourbon production at Kentucky distillery for a year as Trump’s trade wars hit sales

Anecdotally, I know some folks who work under the UAW. Before/after a recent round of significant layoffs because of these big, beautiful tariffs, even the union leadership was spouting off how manufacturing would return to the US within years and it would be "worth it." Some of the workers who already didn't want to jump in bed with Trump ate it up. You would think at least leadership in a massive union overseeing any manufacturing/production would at least understand how this was a bad move for their whole organization, but here we are.
