The headline should include Granger’s DEMENTIA.

She’s been absent from work since July, living in a luxury retirement home, with dementia.

I’m not finding anything about a billionaire family or his potential $100 million inheritance. While there’s no denying he grew up in a wealthy family, the online speculation articles are mostly guessing at the value of his grandmother’s estate - which would be divided among 10 children. It all looks like guesswork.

Any legit sources for Luigi Mangione’s net worth?

Pinkerton stayed with the St Louis PD until he was “forced out” in 2021. He posted on Facebook:

“For all you mother f—— at the St. Louis Police Department,” one post began last November, “especially the Internal Affairs Division, you can all kiss my a— for condemning me and pushing me out of my decorated career and losing my ability to retire with the benefits I wanted, all because I exposed the corruption behind the prosecution of Derek Chauvin.”

Don’t worry, he immediately bounced to a police department in a nearby town, where he remains on active duty.

I have a relative who works there, so I was given a more complete picture of this shitshow right after it happened.

The health district doctor who pushed for this, John Tribble MD, is from California - where his medical license (109949) was revoked, stayed, then placed on five years probation in April 2015, because of his anti-vax extremism. He eventually moved to south-central Idaho and joined a religious medical clinic. I believe he is still affiliated with it. https://heart2healministry.net/providers/

Conspiracy theorist guest speakers from other states presented to the board every crazy lie from their repertoire, including how the vaccine gives people Covid-19.

Many competent medical staff members, already alarmed at the toxic workplace environment, are now resigning from the health district.

Needing to work to be happy, or to have a meaningful life, or to feel productive or fulfilled, or whatever - that’s been an alien concept to me my entire life.

People talk about their careers with pride, they look forward to going to work and … I don’t understand it. Is this supposed to be an achievement? There is no amount of money or perks that could fool me into believing I’m not selling my life away. It’s really fucking hard to pretend everything is fine, when sometimes I just want to disappear in the woods.

Doesn’t anyone else feel like this?

Isn’t NHS being systematically gutted and shoved into a more American healthcare model since Brexit?

I’ve lived in and was registered in 3 states in the past 4 years - currently in a swing state. Before I began blocking political texts and emails a month ago, I counted over 40 emails and over 15 texts per day, every day, plus phone calls every week.

In 1988 I was a single mom without child support. I had no help and no generational wealth. I went to free (except for books) community college in the mornings, then rushed to my M-F bartender job from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. at a tiny establishment frequented by construction workers.

Working 30 hours a week, I paid for a 2 bedroom/2 bath spacious apartment in a beautiful area with pool and a view. Utilities and bills were as much as rent, and childcare alone took as much as all expenses. I still had what would amount to $560 in today’s dollars PER WEEK for clothes, vacations, entertainment.

We often went to Disneyland. We flew around for holidays. We wore the nicest clothes and I threw big parties.

What’s going on right now - what young people are trying to deal with - is fucking criminal. Everyone should be able to live in comfort with disposable income the same way people did 36 years ago. No “well inflation” or “but wages” excuses.

I’ve been mailing in my ballot for years. Sitting at home and researching each candidate and proposition at my convenience is a game changer. (This year, my ballot had 15 propositions to unravel!) I don’t need to worry about getting to the polls - or dealing with the armed, lingering asshats.

EVERYONE should be mailing in ballots.

Steve got you, fam! I’ve been registered and actively voting in 3 states since 2020 - currently in a swing state. I was getting over 40 emails and 15 texts every day, plus phone calls each week. Last week I cancelled my registrations in the two former states by snail mail, because that’s apparently the only way they verify your signature.

I really need to see this now.

Idaho wasn’t always a haven for the radical right and their terrorist agenda. Progressive environmentalist Senator Frank Church (D) represented the majority of the populace, and when white supremacists tried to muscle into northern Idaho, the locals successfully fought back.

Beginning in the 1980’s, Idaho’s incredible natural resources and staggeringly cheap property attracted a steady flood of survivalists, developers, and right-wing extremists from other states. This ongoing influx has shifted state politics to nearly Texas levels of hate, and the ensuing economic assault - as well as the sprawling destruction of its natural resources - has driven out many people from Idaho.

Even this shrieking douchebag Dan Foreman, is from Illinois. He moved to Idaho around 2005.

Except Beto never mentioned the gun buyback program or AR-15s or anything about guns until 2019 - the year AFTER he lost to Cruz.

Between 9/11 and Covid, I was invited by a flight crew to ditch my Midwest destination and continue on to a party in Baltimore, guided by a stranger on a long bus trip and given his blanket so I could sleep leaning against him, shared food and gossip for hours with a large group of people I didn’t know, was offered a home-cooked meal and a night at a ranch in Texas with my family, exchanged numbers with new friends, etc.

Now traveling isn’t a holiday - it’s more of a hostile endurance test. We all just want to be left alone.

The human effect is just an elaborate version of “There was an old lady who swallowed a fly.”
